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
0:35.7	sponsored by Pfizer. Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio
0:45.1	program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM, Triumph 111.
0:50.8	Marcy, welcome to the program. Thank you. Thanks for taking my call. This is just a little

1:20.7	my little sister and I. So it was rough. It was rough growing up. But anyway, so what I did,
1:28.0	here's what I did. I actually sent out a text to my stepmom and all of my siblings saying,
1:35.7	you know what? Rita, she beat us. Like she beat Becky and I, and it was not okay.
1:42.0	And I said that and now I'm like, shoot, why does I do that? I don't know. I just don't know if I
1:50.8	get the right or wrong thing. Something is I need to stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop.
1:58.8	Okay. Okay. Okay. Explain to me as though you were an attorney.
2:06.0	Oh, why? Okay. Why are how this might have been the wrong thing to do?
2:09.5	To tell them the truth about the violence. So tell me as I think, okay.
2:20.3	Well, I, okay, I think it was the wrong thing to do because it upset so many people that I care about.
