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.

0:10.7

I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,

2:13.7

And you got rid of her because she was a drinker who had an affair.
