DearPrudie: I’ve had days of back-to-back Zoom calls where someone’s audio breaks up, someone loses a signal, or someone’s baby is crying in the background. It’s a nightmare. Help!
How can I be a friend to my brother? He’s single, hasn’t worked for 10 years, and is increasingly defensive about his life and choices—a simple question like “What have you been up to?” is greeted like a knife attack.

I have a feeling the mansplaining might be an attempt to prove himself or even the playing field with someone who doesn’t think he has a lot to offer. Hopefully he’ll stop when your relationship shifts. But if he doesn’t, call him out on it every time it happens: “I’ll let you know if I need you to explain something to me, but it feels condescending when I haven’t asked and you tell me what to do with my life.

WHO: High vaccination rates can help reduce risk of variantsA top World Health Organization official estimated Monday that COVID-19 vaccination coverage of at least 80% is needed to significantly lower the risk that “imported” coronavirus cases like those linked to new variants could spawn a cluster or a wider outbreak. Dr. Michael Ryan, WHO's emergencies chief, told a news conference that ultimately, “high levels of vaccination coverage are the way out of this pandemic.” Many rich countries have been moving to vaccinate teenagers and children — who have lower risk of more dangerous cases of COVID-19 than the elderly or people with comorbidities — even as those same countries face pressure to share vaccines with poorer ones that lack them.
