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

1:39.3	They had babies, but I'm not allowed to go over so I can't really see him anymore. His girlfriend
1:46.8	doesn't like me either. And I've talked to counselors and stuff, but it's not helping so I just
1:59.2	don't know how to deal with the stress and the emotion and stuff. Okay, I think I can help
2:05.5	with the stress and the emotion. Okay, first I have to talk to your mom, but you stay right there
2:12.0	and listen to me talk to your mom. Okay, because this is going to be this is going to be the key.
2:19.7	Okay, mom. Yes. This is going to be uncomfortable embarrassing. But what I need you to do
2:27.2	is can you see Madeline? I mean, are you two in the same room? Yes, we're right next to each other.
