Claudia Rankine: ‘By white privilege I mean the ability to stay alive’ | Books | The Guardian 

None of us should have to be living with the precarity of [thinking that] maybe if we leave our house, we will be shot for no reason at all simply because of the colour of our skin. They cannot comprehend that, because that should not exist. White people think when I say white privilege I mean economic privilege but I mean white living. The ability to stay alive.

‘I do not see a single student wash their hands’: teacher’s diary of the first week back at school | Education | The Guardian – Great Britain

Many thousands more are thought to have caught it at the resort. By mid-March, it was clear that tourists travelling in and out of the Paznaun valley had been the key accelerators behind the first wave of the virus on the European continent.

Civil servants’ union threatens strike action over back-to-office plans | Politics | The Guardian

Pouring cold water on the government campaign, Alex Brazier, the Bank’s executive director for financial stability strategy and risk, said it was “not possible” for a mass return to city centre offices this autumn due to Covid guidelines, concerns over the health risks, and transport capacity problems.

Analysis of mobile phone data last month suggested only 17% of UK workers had returned to the office, despite the push by the government for people to stop working from home.
