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 healthcare provider if an authorized

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

Hello, how you doing, Dr. Laura? Good. How old are the two of you and how long have you been married?

I'm 41 myself. My wife is 40. We've been married for three years.

And second, third, 84th marriage? This is my second marriage and this is her first. I have a 16-year-old

daughter through my first marriage. Okay, and where does she live? She lives with us. Okay, and where's mom?

Mom is in Arizona. I assume that's a different state than you're in. Yes, ma'am, I'm in North Carolina.

Now, when did your daughter last see her mom? She just came back from spending the summer with it.

All right, Jericho. Why are we here together today?

Okay. Dr. Laura, we have had an ongoing issue when it comes to answering the phone. Oftentimes,

when we aren't together, I will call my husband and he will not answer my phone calls.

And what do you think that, ma'am, and what do you think that means?

That I am not priority. You're not serious. Come on, Jericho. My woman, my buddy.

That is so, that sounds 15 years old. Of course you're his priority, but at that moment,

that moment, you're not. Aside from the fact that you're probably damn annoying with all these calls,

to make sure where he is and to get confirmation 84 times that you're important, he married you.
