Pandemic and English

Coronavirus has drastically changed our society. And I saw many new English terms such as cluster, overshooting, and social distance in the media. Also, I want to know how to express some Japanese terms related to the coronavirus in English. So I will make sure such terms in English as follows. (H.S)

*virus: its pronunciation in Japanese [wilus]is from Latin

*vaccine: its pronunciation in Japanese [wakchin] is from German

*pandemic: the accent is on [de] but I sometimes hear the accent is on [pan] on Japanese TV

*positive

*negative

*quarantine

*pneumonia

*ventilator

*PPE (personal protective equipment)

*essential workers

*lift

*second wave

*herd immunity

*new normal
