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

1:44.2	in life? Do you know anybody on the planet who hasn't made mistakes? I'm curious. You think you're
1:50.7	supposed to be above all all of humanity that you're supposed to be the only one who doesn't make a
1:56.8	mistake and I don't get that. You're right. I mean, you want to be you're laughing. Madam, you're
2:03.4	laughing and you should be laughing. You should be laughing at yourself every time you go, oh, I
2:08.5	shouldn't make mistake. Because we all do every day. Everybody makes mistakes. Don't say you know
