We need healthy forests if we want to protect our climate. As the climate changes, forests become more vulnerable to insect outbreaks, droughts and wildfires. Simultaneously, when our forests are destroyed, their carbon is released back into the atmosphere, further impacting climate change. It's a horrifying one-two punch.

Swine flu is not an anomaly. We know that swine flu - like the vast majority of new outbreaks - comes from animals. We should be monitoring those animals and the humans that come into contact with them, so we can catch these viruses early, before they infect major cities and spread throughout the world.

I think the world should unite and focus on strong health systems to prepare the whole world to prevent epidemics - or if there is an outbreak, to manage it quickly - because viruses don't respect borders, and they don't need visas.

I'm one of those apocalyptics. From the start of my immigrant days, I've been fascinated by end-of-the-world stories, by outbreak narratives, and always wanted to set a world-ender on Hispaniola.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has created an unprecedented situation around the world.

Outbreak emphasizes the swift, unexpected nature of an event's beginning.

Suddenness Key

Outbreak usually refers to unwelcome events, often causing harm or concern.

Negative Context

Pay attention to common collocations; 'outbreak of laughter' is rare but possible.

Collocation Matters

Outbreak can convey a strong, intense surge of something that is usually more subdued.

Intensity Noted

An outbreak indicates a brief period of time when something increases rapidly.

Time-Frame Brief

Outbreak doesn't always mean large-scale; it can occur in small communities or areas.

Scale Variable

 that there could actually be outbreaks of violence in the US depending on how things turn out. Should we be worried about that, or do you really think things have shifted? No, we should be worried. We should be aware of two things. First of all, don't be hysterical. We are not back in the First World War yet.
