This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad.

I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,

being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your

risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive,

there are things you can do, like asking your health care provider if an authorized

oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is

a such a relief. Now I've done everything over to a vector and I don't have to deal with anything else.

And then the last day or so, I've just become suddenly emotional about all this. And I thought,

well, my doctor put me on medication because I have a shoulder problem. So I hadn't been

breathing really well on this steroid. And so I thought maybe that's what it is. I'm just not

getting the sleep. I'm just, you know, sweet heart. That is sweet heart. Hello, that is a large part of it.

That's a large part of it. Make sure and see and you can't sleep. That is a large part of it.

But there's another part of it too. The other part of it is she was a piece of crap as a mom,
