0:00.0	This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.
0:06.7	I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad.
0:10.7	I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,
0:15.6	being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your
0:21.7	risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive,
0:26.2	there are things you can do, like asking your health care provider if an authorized
0:29.9	oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is

1:08.7	Yes, my question is I am debating, uh, putting my job and taking a, uh,

1:42.2	I bet your kids want more of you than money.
1:47.0	All right, but it's going to be a tough adjustment for you.
1:51.1	It is. I put a lot of self-worth in my job, especially in my title and in my income.
1:55.0	So it's going to be in the just, but that's really what this call is.
1:59.1	That's really what this call is about, sir. Everybody else is going to adjust fine.
2:03.6	The toughest, toughest change is going to be for you. Your identity is going to be more in family.
