Pandemic is as an epidemic occurring over a very wide are a, crossing international boundari es, and usually affecting a large number of people. Attack rate is not true because it is defined as number of people at risk in whom a certain illness develops ove r total number of people at risk. Incubation period is not true bec
ause it is the interval from receipt of infection to the time of onset of clinical illness (the onset of recognizable symptoms). 2. What is the most accurate definition of the incubation period (of an infectious disease)?a.The time of onset of clinical illness or the onset of recognizable symptoms
