Because gonorrhea is caused by bacteria that can be treated with antibiotics, outbreaks of the disease usually occur in very small clusters that can be quickly treated. The Swine Flu Pandemic is caused by a virus. Viruses are not as easily treated as most bacterial infections. Gonorrhea is also one of the Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) that can be prevented when condoms and other appropriate protection are used. Therefore, epidemics of gonorrhea in the current ages are usually only in remote third world settings.
