These Twins Lived Together. In Covid, They Died Together. – The New York Times

Joefred and Ralfred Gregory moved through life as one.

They went to the same college. They studied the same thing. They wore matching clothes. They trimmed their beards the exact same way.

Identical twins, they were two handsome young men in northern India who above all else really loved each other. And when they both were struck by Covid-19 last month and hospitalized, it was like they shared one sick body.

Hours after Joefred died, Ralfred’s mother told him that his brother was still alive, to keep his spirits up.

But Ralfred sensed his brother was no more and said, from his hospital bed, “Mummy, you’re lying.”

The next day, on May 14, Ralfred died too.

An ‘Army of 16-Year-Olds’ Takes On the Democrats – The New York Times

Ms. Walsh, a 16-year-old high school junior, has many of the attributes of Generation Z: She likes to refer to people (like the president) as “bestie.” She occasionally gets called away from political events to babysit her little brother. She is slightly in the doghouse, parent-wise, for getting a C+ in precalculus.

She is also representative of an influential new force in Democratic politics, activists who cut their teeth on the presidential campaigns of Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

The full strength of these activists — many of whom are not old enough to vote — did not become clear until last fall, when they were key to one of the year’s most surprising upsets, helping Senator Edward J. Markey defeat a primary challenge from Representative Joseph P. Kennedy III, who had been heavily favored to win.

At Saks, Return to Office Means Mandatory Vaccines, Optional Manicures – The New York Times

After more than a year of remote work, Marc Metrick, the chief executive of Saks, has a message for the company’s 500 corporate employees in New York: Starting in September, the office will again become the company’s primary workplace.

“This was really great to be able to get work done at a time when it just wasn’t safe, but as it becomes safe, this isn’t the right option for us and we need to be much more office-based,” Mr. Metrick said of remote work during a recent Zoom interview. There will be new flexibility, he said, but “the default needs to be our office.”

When human beings overcome the chapter of the coronavirus -Covid-19- and it becomes yesterday, a painful memory, a sad vestige, a face removed from what cruel human beings and intoxicated by excessive ambition and the claims of global dominance are capable of doing against life and the balance of the planet, the world will present different features, something will have changed, by logic other rules will be established and we will be shipwrecked and pieces of history and destiny that we irresponsibly indulge in for years as it becomes easier for us stay in the apparent comfort of the seats, among the shapeless mass of the auditorium, insensitive and thoughtless, to design authentic existential projects and act head-on,transform ourselves into protagonists of the individual and collective changes that we require to transcend.

Cuando los seres humanos superemos el capítulo del coronavirus -Covid-19- y se convierta en ayer, en recuerdo doloroso, en vestigio triste, en rostro desmaquillado de lo que seres humanos crueles e intoxicados por la ambición desmedida y las pretensiones de dominio global son capaces de hacer en contra de la vida y el equilibrio del planeta, el mundo presentará rasgos diferentes, algo habrá cambiado, por lógica se establecerán otras reglas y seremos náufragos y pedazos de la historia y del destino que irresponsablemente consentimos durante años al resultarnos más fácil quedarnos en la aparente comodidad de las butacas, entre la masa informe del auditorio, insensibles e irreflexivos, que diseñar proyectos existenciales auténticos y actuar de frente, transformarnos en protagonistas de los cambios individuales y colectivos que requerimos para trascender.

Quizá tan doloroso episodio quedará registrado en la historia mundial como algo asqueroso y repugnante por parte…

To those doing good work during the pandemic…

Beyond The Lines

Our life was going at a very fast pace. We didn’t even have time to sit and talk to our loved ones, because the competition was getting tougher every day!

Just at that moment out of nowhere came a virus that brought the whole of humanity to a stand still. Yes, I’m talking about none other than the novel coronavirus.

In the last one year we have seen and heard about people who are no more among us because of the novel coronavirus. Every day someone is losing their loved ones, father, mother, brother and sister. People who had the responsibility of a household.

Midst the grief, the ones that are left behind now have to think as to how they will manage themselves and their family.

Eine deutsch-französische Freundschaft

Google translation of title and first line: A Franco-German friendship
It was a long time ago, but it feels like it was just yesterday. When I was 17 years old, I had to take the mandatory annual school trip. Our destination was Trier, the only Roman imperial residence north of the Alps, where we should spend a whole week. We were accommodated in the youth hostel in Trier , six girls each in a small room with bunk beds.

Senioren um die Welt

Es ist zwar schon sehr lange her, aber es kommt mir so vor, als ob es erst gestern gewesen wäre. Als ich 17 Jahre alt war, musste ich an der obligatorischen jährlichen Klassenfahrt teilnehmen. Unser Ziel war Trier, die einzige römische Kaiserresidenz nördlich der Alpen, dort sollten wir eine ganze Woche verbringen. Wir waren in der Jugendherberge von Trier untergebracht, jeweils sechs Mädchen in einem kleinen Zimmer mit Stockbetten.
