SciCheck Digest A businessman’s post on Instagram and Facebook wrongly claims that the U.S. government “changed the definition of pandemic” in 2004, suggesting that COVID-19 would not have qualified under the old definition. There’s no evidence for those claims — and COVID-19 is by all means a pandemic. How lethal is COVID-19? It’s difficult to know exactly how deadly COVID-19 is, but as the World Health Organization has written, studies estimate that the infection fatality ratio, or percentage of deaths out of all infections, is between 0.5% and 1%. The true rate isn’t clear, since the pandemic is ongoing and not all infections have been diagnosed.

UpdatedSun, Jul 11, 2021 at 7:13 am ET Reply My education tour in Afrika's Nile Valley is Sunday on July 11, 2021. By the time this commentary is published, I will be in Kemet (Egypt). However, my trip to Afrika marks the beginning of my two-week journey to study Kemet (Egypt). I will finally get the opportunity to physically see Black people's contributions to the world's civilization and religions through the eyes of Kemet. Evidence suggest that Afrika is the birthplace of humanity, the progenitor of civilization, and the root of the world's major religions (i.e., Judaism, Christianity, and Al-Islam). Many historians and scientists argue that on the world stage of human progress, civilizations began in the Nile Valley, and there were many major civilizations in that area of Afrika. However, ancient Kemet reflected humanity's march toward creating the world's first highly advanced civilization in times of antiquity. It played a central role in the development of mathematics, philosophy, medicine, science, government, architecture, a written language, art, monotheism, education, ethics, morals, and religion. Many cultures and nations borrowed from the knowledge and wisdom of the ancient Kemites to push their civilization forward towards the foundations of modern society. Unfortunately, white supremacy has made ancient Kemet a European or Arab civilization. When in fact, Kemet began as a Black civilization. This is because racists cannot accept the genius of Kemet coming from Black people. They had to put a non-Afrikan face on Egypt to justify its greatness being white or Arab. Some white supremacist scholars even went further to completely deny Kemet's role in the foundation of western and modern civilization. Therefore, we as anti-racist educators and activists must work to create curriculums and history departments that include Kemet as the cornerstone of ancient and modern-day history. And must also boldly tell the truth about the original Kemites being Black. Every year, there is an Africana studies trip to Afrika by respected Egyptologist and history Professor Ashra Kwesi. Professor Kwesi was a 14-year student of the late and great Afrikan Egyptologist Dr. Yosef A.A. ben-Jochannan. Dr. Ben, as he was affectionately called by the masses of people in the world, died on March 19, 2019. He was 97 years old. Although Dr. Ben has passed, he authored many widely read books before his death, such as Africa: The Mother of Western Civilizations, Africa: The Mother of the "Major" Western Religions, We the Black Jews, and The Blackman and His Family of the Nile. In all, Dr. Ben has published 49 scholarly books and articles. Inspired by the academic works of Dr. Ben, Professor Kwesi has spent nearly 40 years taking people from all around the world to the Nile Valley to teach and tour the Afrikan histories and cultures of Kemet, Ethiopia, Sudan, and Kenya. The name of his educational tour is called Kemet Nu Knowledge of Self Tours. Brother Kweisi is assisted by his wife Merira. But most importantly, Kwesi's educational tours reinforce the need for Africana studies and Black liberation.

H AD YOU lived in America in the late 1700s and been fond of a rhyming couplet, you may well have read Phyllis Wheatley, the literary sensation of her day. Her status made her work more remarkable: she was a slave, named after the ship that had transported her from West Africa as a child. And she wrote the first book published by an African-American. Many dismissed her authorship because the poems were so dense with classical references. “She uses these texts as a way to express her pain about being enslaved, to express her desire to overcome her oppression, and her desire to be free,” says Anika Prather, who teaches the course “Blacks in Classical Studies” at Howard University.

April 23, 2021 Throughout the COVID-19 outbreak, incurable skeptics have argued that many COVID-19 measures are based not on science and reason, but on fearmongering by an increasingly autocratic ruling class imposing new norms on an increasingly intolerant and conformist population. Those even more inclined to skepticism would argue that autocracy, conformity, and intolerance are themselves, by their nature, highly effective public health measures. They evolved in primitive human society precisely because they protect from disease. Disgust, not fear, is the emotion that drives them. These three postulates point to rational alternatives for the pandemic’s restrictions on civil liberties, and underlie an entirely new way of understanding the history of human conflict.
Howard University's classics department is an incubator for Black equality. Don't close it. The works in the classical canon are for all of us. Within them is language to fight for equality and to embrace our full humanity. Anika T. Prather Opinion contributor At a conference on using Socratic dialogue in the classroom through the Bill of Rights Institute, an attendee mentioned that the Howard University classics department, the only such department at a historically Black college or university in the country, was under the threat of being closed. My heart sank at the news. I had just opened my own classically inspired school, The Living Water School, and was primarily focused on its success, but I could not get this news out of my mind. That conference was several years ago, but this month, the department announced it is closing and repositioning the faculty.
