| 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 |

| 2:00.4 | You're right. Your grandfather died under your hands. Or before. |
| 2:09.6 | Was he deceased when you started CPR? |
| 2:11.7 | Um, what was the question? Was he dead before you started CPR? Was he already dead? |
| 2:26.2 | So he died while you were, and he died while they were working with him. So I was not in the room. |
| 2:34.3 | If I could interject, he kept him alive. But there was nothing that he had a faint pulse |
| 2:43.6 | by the time the paramedics got there. And he was being coached by the non-1-1 person waiting. |
