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 healthcare 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.
1:05.7	I'm going to ask my wife to take pictures of the siblings but not include her in the photo.
1:15.8	Can you repeat that? I don't think I got all the parts of it. The sound went a little crazy in my
1:20.8	head phone. Just say that again. In the past, when we have family gatherings, my mother will

1:54.7	And I said, if my son-in-law is not in the picture, we're not going to do it. This weekend, we were
2:00.9	with my mother and my siblings and she wanted a photo once again without my wife. And I said to my
2:08.2	mother, if my wife's not in the photo, I'm not either. Did I do the right thing? Yes, finally.
2:16.9	I like the way you said, finally. I've had to put my mother in check before. I did it in more
2:30.7	abrupt terms. There was a time in our marriage, probably 15 years ago, where she was really,
2:36.9	we had kind of an argument about how my wife and I were raising our kids and how she thought we
2:42.5	were doing it the wrong way. I basically told her at that time, as long as I have my wife and my
