This new outbreak coined a pandemic is growing in prominence thanks to the media. There are nearly 448,000 infected people and fewer than 20,000 fatalities. Those figures are insignificant compared to the number of casualties in war or even deaths by natural causes. World leaders overlook these issues because they don't personally address them. They command armies from unassailable locations knowing they are protected and invulnerable. The difference with this outbreak lies in that those who govern the world, mainly affluent and elderly people, view this pathogen as a thread to themselves, since it is invisible and targets anyone regardless of sex, social status and ethnicity.

Your usage of coined is wrong. It's called a pandemic because pandemic is a well-established term that describes the outbreak. A coinage would be the invention of a new term.
