Greg Patton is a professor of clinical business communication at the University of Southern California. During a recent virtual classroom session, he was discussing public speaking patterns and the filler words that people use to space out their ideas: um, er, etc. Patton mentioned that the Chinese often use a word that is pronounced like nega.

"In China the common word is 'that, that that that,' so in China it might be 'nega, nega, nega, nega,'" Patton explained to his class. "So there's different words you'll hear in different cultures, but they're vocal disfluencies."

But because the Chinese word nega sounds like nigger, some students were offended and reported the matter to the administration. Patton is now suspended, according to Campus Reform:

Up to 90% of people who test positive for Covid barely carry any virus & are not contagious. Every stat about the disease is bogus

It has been revealed that the standard tests being used in the US to diagnose Covid-19 cases are far too sensitive, with the vast majority of people marked down as being positive actually turning out to be negative.

Top US virologists have been stunned by revelations about the laxity of the US Covid testing regimen. It turns out that tests that deliver a simple binary "positive or negative" result are not fit for purpose, as they tell us nothing about the contagiousness of each person.

Data from three US states - New York, Nevada and Massachusetts - shows that when the amount of the virus found in a person is taken into account, up to 90 percent of people who have tested positive should actually have been negative, as they are carrying only tiny amounts of the virus, are not contagious, pose no risk to others, and have no need to isolate.

This means that only a fraction of the daily "cases" being reported so hysterically in the mainstream media are actual, bona fide Covid-19 sufferers, and need treatment and to separate themselves from others.

CNN, the network that for the best part of 3 years pushed the conspiracy theory that President Trump colluded with Russia, and attacks Trump constantly every day, is now complaining that it isn't fair that the network hasn't been chosen to host a Presidential Debate.

CNN host Brianna Keillar noted Thursday that "The presidential debates are set and Fox News' Chris Wallace will monitor the first between President Trump and Joe Biden."

"The debate commission giving the September 29th face-off to Fox despite propaganda, dishonesty, and the fact that some Fox hosts advise President Trump," Keillar added.

"Russians" are the dumbest idiots on the planet!

Russians are dumb. Hopelessly stupid. They are amateurs of the worst kind. Ignoramuses on steroids. Why?

Well, for one, their so-called super-dooper biowarfare agent "Novichok" seems unable to kill anybody. The Russians must have realized that. This is why, when they tried to kill Skripal (after freeing him from jail) they put that Novichok thing all over the place: on the bench near Salisbury, on Skripal's door handle, even in some bottle of perfume a local addict found in the trash. Probably all over the Skripal home, and this is why the Brits initially said that they would tear down the extremely toxic place (yet both the Skripal cat and their hamster survived - tells you how utterly useless that pretend biowarfare substance really was...).

One would have thought that after this total cluster-bleep the Russians would have learned their lesson.

In a wide-ranging and in-person interview on Wednesday with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Attorney General William Barr turned the set of The Situation Room into a classroom to school the network on everything from accusations of systemic racism in the justice system, to Antifa's cross-country violence, to how people were "playing with fire" in the form of mail-in-ballots.

After shooting down Blitzer's accusations about him just being a lapdog for President Trump, Barr was pressed from the left with allegations that the justice system was racist. Blitzer was actually confused when Barr point out the fact the Blake and Floyd cases were very different incidents and tried to argue Blake wasn't armed (Click "expand"):

'Corona World' game backed by German public TV dehumanizes lockdown resisters & kids - but sure, what could go wrong?

A new online game lets the player stomp 'Covidiots' - those who oppose lockdowns and mask mandates. As scapegoating dissidents becomes ever more socially acceptable, those who ignore history are making us all repeat it.

Scoring points for flattening small children who are demonized as walking contagions? Physically assaulting a neighbor for seeking fresh air during lockdown? What sounds like a sick social experiment is also an online game financed by German public broadcasting fees.

In 'Corona World,' a recent offering on the German taxpayer-funded 'Funk' gaming platform, the user plays a nurse tasked with shopping for groceries in a world fraught with coronavirus hazards, from small children they're told are "highly infectious" (never mind that science has indicated the virus mostly leaves kids alone) to joggers and "party people" selfishly spreading the virus while trying to stay healthy and enjoy life, respectively (how dare they!).

Northeastern University said Friday it has dismissed 11 freshman students for the fall semester for violating campus social distancing guidelines after they were discovered in the same hotel room.

The students were given 24 hours to leave the Boston campus and were ordered to undergo COVID-19 tests, the university said in a statement. It said any who test positive would be moved into isolated wellness housing rather than sent home, to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Northeastern said the 11 people, whose names were not released, were part of an international experience for first-year students. It said they were among more than 800 students housed in two-person rooms at the Westin Hotel not far from the main campus.

Residents of Medway, Kent, endured scenes straight out of an apocalyptic nightmare on Friday after a series of large explosions at an industrial building sent mushroom clouds towering above their homes.

An enormous blaze broke out at the building in the early hours of Friday morning and locals reported being woken by a series of bangs.

The fire strengthened over the course of several hours and by sunrise huge plumes of smoke could be seen for miles around. The local fire brigade said that 10 fire engines rushed to the site to battle the inferno.

Video footage from the scene captures a huge pillar of smoke bursting out of the blazing building and sprouting into a mushroom cloud that sits ominously over the area. It was just one of several explosions that took place during the massive fire.

NYT: Up to 90% of people who test positive for COVID-19 no longer contagious, no need to isolate

"We may have been testing the wrong way"

It's known as the "viral load." The most used test to determine if someone has COVID-19, known as a PCR test, is either positive or negative, that's it. But the test does not identify the viral load — the greater the amount of virus, the more likely it is that the patient is contagious.

"In three sets of testing data that include cycle thresholds, compiled by officials in Massachusetts, New York and Nevada, up to 90 percent of people testing positive carried barely any virus," The New York Times reported Sunday after conducting a review of data.

On Thursday, the United States recorded 45,604 new coronavirus cases, according to a database maintained by The Times. If the rates of contagiousness in Massachusetts and New York were to apply nationwide, then perhaps only 4,500 of those people may actually need to isolate and submit to contact tracing.

Health experts told the paper the current PCR test is too sensitive and should be improved so that it will determine the viral load — which would then rule out those with insignificant amounts of the virus.
