Elizabeth City State University (ECSU), Atlanta University and Nova Southeastern University (NSU)

An Airborne Illness Possibility, Aerodynamically Fashioned "With Persistent Mutative" Transmittable Omnipresence (AAIPADFWPMTOP). Warning, Increased Concerns: More Unvaccinated Americans and Children are Sickened or Dying from this most Virulently Contagious Disease. "We Need Healing and a Spiritual Awakening, Right Now in 2021." This time of corona-virus disease (2019, 2020 and 2021) has “interrupted and intersected” eternity, and created the “NEW NORMAL, ABNORMAL.” When time intersects with eternity. --- Fr Stephen Wang

The Coronavirus Ebb Tide is ever so Frightening! Today, absolutely, people who are living in the COVID-19 worldwide need to inspirationally protect and love their earthly lives. First, let us read and focus on the number of our fellow Americans, who have suffered and died from COVID-19, circa January 2020. America, August 15, 2021: 37,435, 835+ Confirmed Coronavirus 2019-nCoV, Delta Variant- Driven Stunning Cases: 637, 439 + Deaths and 30,144, 609 + Recovered, USA (Worldometer). Since January 20,2020, an age of “A New Abnormality.”

The Coronavirus, as previously written: "Globally, the Covid-19 infective agent is sickening and killing human beings on planet earth at an alarming rate. The deadly COVID-19 pandemic started in 2019- 2020 as An Airborne Illness Possibility, Aerodynamically Fashioned 'With' Transmittable Omnipresence (AAIPADFWTOP). Unfortunately, our day-to-day realities of joblessness, emotional dilemmas; the continuance of police brutality against minorities, various environmental calamities; man-made infrastructure catastrophes, financial bankruptcies, and unemployment, are causing HAVOC, widespread discontent, homelessness, and DEATH!"  Somehow, through it ALL, “We Americans will need to focus on building generational wealth, instead of generational debt.” --- Avril Smalls, Scoop Publication, Global News, June 8, 2020.

Some 20-21 months later and trending, the name is still changing: An Airborne Illness Possibility, Aerodynamically Fashioned "With Persistent Mutative" Transmittable Omnipresence (AAIPADFWPMTOP)

ROSA HIGGS REPORTEDLY IS 1ST BLACK AUTHOR TO CREATE PHONICS WORKBOOKS THAT DRASTICALLY IMPROVE READING SKILLS IN 30 DAYS OR LESS

Rosa Higgs, a teacher from Berkeley, California, who has proven why phonics instruction matters. Her phonics workbook series, entitled Read in 40 Hours or Less, are designed to help Black students learn to read well and beyond grade level in less than 40 hours of direct instruction.

Across the country, students are experiencing a K-12 crisis in reading skills. In the state of California, millions of dollars are spent every year on education, but students and teachers are overwhelmed by COVID-19 and distance learning and the lack of improved reading skills for many vulnerable Black students proves it.

The coronavirus was a test of America’s ability to provide quality and equitable education to all students. The virus wrecked the school system with unfathomable momentum highlighting known disparities of Black students' access to computers, the internet, trauma, and basic needs such as food and adequate shelter. The Read in 40 Hours or Less workbook series can take schools from inadequate to extraordinary by improving reading skills for our vulnerable Black and Brown students.  To order Click Here

HIGHLY REGARDED RETIRED POLICE OFFICER CHARLIE ROSE REVEALS IN NEW BOOK "WHY COPS KILL AND HOW TO STOP THEM"

Meet Charlie Rose whose new book "Why Cops Kill and How to Stop Them," reveals his personal story as a police officer many years ago in the Greenwood area of Tulsa, Oklahoma (formerly known as Black Wall Street). He also shares his keen viewpoints on why he believes that police violence is at an all-time high today.

He says that he actually never thought of becoming a police officer; It was his childhood dream to be a meteorologist. Growing up in Oklahoma, he was fascinated by the rolling squall lines ahead of an approaching storm and had to be made to come in the house out of the rain.

He was never able to pursue him and after graduating from high school he entered the Air Force where he was trained to be a Communication Specialist. After leaving the service and a number of dead-end jobs, a friend of his father told him if he could get him hired as a police officer if he could pass the department’s entrance exam.

Living To Die, You Decide, COVID-19 Delta Variant, A Pandemic: "Unvaccinated" Unseen Enemy

By HBCU ECSU Wellness Writer Dr. Charles L. Singleton

COVID-19 USA Since January 2020: nearly 36, 000, 000 + cases, 630, 000 + deaths, and 29, 700, 000 + patients have recovered from this viral illness.  Worldometers COVID-19 Data, Daily Updates and Projections 2021.

In addition, on July 30, 2021, Weekly Polling Roundup: Pollapalooza's Geoffrey Skelley reported that, "The delta variant is spreading rapidly in part because around 30 percent of Americans remain entirely unvaccinated." Currently, various data and media sources projected a 25%+ chance of the unvaccinated becoming infected by the delta variant. More specifically, "The delta virus is 50% to 60% more infectious than the alpha variant," Gregory Poland, M.D., Infectious Diseases, Mayo Clinic.

COVID-19 Complications, Possibly, an Early Graveside Celebration of Life:  And, today the unvaccinated USA citizens are running the risk of prematurely dying and crossing eternity's "Separating Line, and leaving this old world behind."  Risk takers, please let it be said, "The bed you rested in last night could become your cooling board, and the quiver you slept under a winding sheet." "You better preach and hold your hope!" Traditional Hymn Choir Song, Prayer and Sayings.

Readers, on Thursday, April 23, 2020, I first described the Coronavirus (COVID-19), as An Airborne Illness Possibility Aerodynamically Fashioned With Transmittable Omnipresence (AAIPADFWTOP).  And 16-17 months later in August 2021, I have added the word "Persistent," because of the mutative and life-threatening effects of this death-driven-infective agent (AAIPADFWPTOP).

Whereas, "PESTILENCE" is COVID-19 Complications, according to my friend Richard Sullivan. Furthermore, Dr. Anthony Fauci recently said, "In June 2021, statistical 99.2% of COVID-19 U.S. deaths involved those who were unvaccinated." Yes, think about wearing a mask (re: mask mandates and vaccinations). The possible health benefits of simply wearing a mask and getting vaccinated could save your life and the lives of your family members, loved ones, friends and associates.

 

Now educate yourself and others about the "Persistent" COVID-19 Delta Variant Complications: An Airborne Illness Possibility Aerodynamically Fashioned With "Persistent" Transmittable Omnipresence. View and read "Delta variant: 8 things you should know about this COVID-19 strain.” UCDavis Health. Updated July 23, 2021. Click here.

As described by Wikipedia research, hopefully, Covid-19 does not pattern itself in the manner of the disabling poliovirus (poliomyelitis), which crippled millions of humans dating back to pre-literary history, some 3.3 million years ago.  Polio has caused both paralysis and death throughout human history.  For example, an ancient Egyptian artifact from the 18th Dynasty seems to represent a polio victim, circa: 1403-1365 BCE.

CHAPLAIN & CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVIST, DR. EVE TAYLOR, PENS PROVOCATIVE BOOK ON AMERICA’S TROUBLING HISTORY WITH RACE

Since its humble beginnings, America has grappled with the complicated and sometimes troubling story of its origins, especially when it comes to race. Dr. Eve Taylor, an expert on race relations and a civil rights activist who worked with Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rep. John Lewis, has seen first-hand how racism has ripped at the fabric of the United States. Her experience coupled with the recent events of police brutality against African Americans spurred the author to pick up her pen once again and chronicle America’s racial past and present in her new book, The Torn Fabric of America: The Racial Divide, Black and White. The new book is currently available on Amazon.

Throughout the book’s 250+ pages, Dr. Taylor takes the reader from President Lincoln’s signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, the document that freed enslaved people to Juneteenth, the date in 1865 when the slaves were told of their freedom. She also recounts the Civil Rights Movement and the Bill of Rights and brings us into today as she speaks on the murder of George Floyd and the birth of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Not only does Dr. Taylor share her personal perspective, but her book is chock full of historical references and documented facts. Not one to provide a problem without a solution, in her chapter, “The Mending of the Torn Fabric,” she shares what America must to do make the country truly the United States of America.
