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
0:35.7	sponsored by Pfizer. Thank you for listening to this edition of the call of the day. Be sure to
0:44.0	listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011. Iris, welcome
0:51.3	to the program. Hi, hello Dr. Laura. I'm bit nervous here. First of all, I would just like to thank
0:58.1	you for everything you have done for so many lives. And thanks to you, I feel like I've been able

1:12.3	So my guess, my dilemma is, I'm sorry, just to give you a quick feedback or just summary
1:26.8	information about my situation. I'm an only child. My mom had me when she was 32 and she chose not to
1:36.3	marry. So I never had a father figure. I was cool when I was 19 to go to college outside of the
1:45.6	country. And if I feel like this was a situation that really affected my mom, she doesn't have a
1:54.4	lot of friends. Okay, Iris. Iris. It doesn't matter what she has or hasn't. She's responsible for
2:02.2	her own life. She did enough to hurt you, but she's responsible for her own life. You are not
2:07.2	responsible for her friends, for her activities, for her state of mind. That's her responsibility,
2:13.9	totally. Your responsibility is to take what you got and make the best out of it and have a
2:18.2	wonderful life. You have no responsibility to worry about her activities, her scheduling,
2:25.1	her friends, nothing, zero. Right. And I feel in some ways I feel like I do. I want you, I want you not
