In normal Pandemic, it's definitely impossible. With four Epidemics, the maximum distance between two Epidemic cards is 24, so 12 player turns. Maximum infection rate is 3, so 36 cards.I've probably made some off-by-one errors in there, but it's clearly a lot less than 48. (-8
(With more Epidemics, you're multiplying a larger maximum infection rate by a smaller maximum number of turns between Epidemics.)
