‘Global pandemic’ is a redundant phrase

Given their topicality, two of the emails I received last week form the basis of today’s discussion. Inter alia, the first one read: “Growing up in the English language from primary school through college, my tutors of English language taught me that the word ‘discuss’ is never followed by the preposition ‘about’. They would say for example- we will discuss that topic tomorrow and not- we will discuss about that topic tomorrow. Many a journalist in both the print and electronic media and other good speakers of English language have used ‘discuss about’ with abandon”.
