Does anyone have a list of previous pandemic declarations and year?

  I always hate linking to wikipedia, but it's the best such list I could find: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_epidemics

    May I ask why you hate linking to wikipedia?
    • JohnFen 7y ago
      Because tend I assume that people have already checked Wikipedia, so the link may not give them what they were looking for.

        Never assume that. People rarely even read the article they comment on.

    I'm looking specifically for WHO pandemic declarations.

  Doesn't look like anyone is tracking "pandemics" formally. WHO.int is tracking public health emergencies of international concern, which appear to include epidemics with pandemic potential as well as outbreaks with pandemic potential and extremely egregious likelihood of permanent harm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Health_Emergency_of_International_Concern https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Health_Emergency_of_Int... But from what I could dig up, the last widely accepted pandemic declaration was the H1N1 2009. The two current pandemics include HIV/AIDS and COVID-19. There is a list of epidemics, but that list also includes localized or regional matters rather than just global-scale pandemics, and not all of them may amount to PHEICs.
