Epidemic, pandemic, endemic =全国(世界的)に流行の病気 it is a really serious outbreak of something all over the world
EG: The SARS epidemic made me change my mind on travelling to China. 中国ではSARSが流行しているので、行くのをやめる事にしました。
Infectious=人にうつす可能がある、でもイメイジとしては下のcontagious
よりもっと重い病気の完成の時に使うかも。Is something that can be passed on from one infected person to another (through the air we breathe as well)
Eg. You better stay away from me, I’m very infectious.
移る可能性があるから、私に近寄らない方がいいよ。
Contagious=人に触ると完成の可能もある。It can also be passed on by touching other people.
Eg:The first 24hours of your cold is when you are most contagious かぜの始め24時間が一番完成しやすいのよ
But for the common cold or FLU we just use "contagious"
