Dear Doctors: What can I do to protect my baby from RSV? What are the symptoms? People are talking about a 'tripledemic,' and it has my husband and me worried. We're both vaccinated for the flu and COVID-19, and we are being super careful when we're out and about. What else can we do?
DEAR HARRIETTE: I went to a work event this past weekend that was so much fun. I didn't realize how much I miss being around people. Just having the chance to hug other people and talk to them face to face was so nice, as I work 100% remotely. I'm grateful for my job because I was unemployed before the pandemic, but I now see that I crave human interaction. I'm thinking I should start looking for a job where I have to go to the office, at least on a hybrid basis. My friends think I am crazy. They think having the freedom to work independently is a benefit. I don't think so anymore. Am I wrong to look for a job in an office? — Need People

My husband, Peter, and I feel like social butterflies.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I have a friend who is virtually a nomad. He's always traveling somewhere, hanging out in exotic locales with interesting people. I hadn't heard from him since the summer but thought nothing of it. When I called, I discovered he was in the hospital with a medical emergency. I felt so bad that I didn't know and hadn't reached out. I know it's on him to inform his friends or whomever he wants to know about his condition, but we are close. I am bummed about it. Now that I know, I am regularly in touch with him and doing my best to support him in whatever ways I can, but he doesn't really want help. He is a bit of a loner and has pushed back when I have offered to bring him anything or visit. How can I be a good friend in this situation while also honoring his wishes to keep my distance? — Tending The Ill
