Epidemics
Some epidemics recently in the news, in declining order of magnitude (and importance):
• The world is facing a global diabetes epidemic.
• The United States is realizing it has an epidemic of obesity.
• Great Britain is in the throes of a whiplash epidemic.
• Toronto has been hit by a bed bug epidemic.

Comments
Historically, the use of the word "Epidemic" in a headline has seen a direct correlation to an epidemic of trees coming down to produce the paper necessary to print more newspapers due to the epidemic demand of people wanting to read about the current epidemic?
