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

1:28.4	behavior and I haven't been in contact with him for the past two years because he was found to
1:34.2	be in contact and having very inappropriate conversations with an underage girl and is now registered
1:41.6	as a sex defender. And I want to reach out to him some extent but I don't know if...
1:49.3	Charlie, your mother had sex with that man. The sperm found one particular egg and it created you.
2:02.8	Your mother made a mistake with home to create you. Why would you reach out to evil?
2:13.6	Um, I told her, I told her he ripped up his parent card.
2:18.4	I ask you with all the maturity you can muster up in a 16 year old body.
2:24.5	Why? You would choose to reach out to evil. He's not your father.
