Calling it a 'pandemic' is a stretch.

My guess is that the question mark covers such things as people riding buffalos, horses, agricultural vehicles etc. Not likely that it is birds or snake bite as this covers road accidents.

Although general used with diseases it does not merely apply to them. I think pandemic is the correct word.
