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

0:54.1	Hi Dr. Laura. Hi Katie. Hi. How old are you? I am eight years old.

1:51.5	because it kind of makes me feel weird when they're all in the same room to be close to me,
1:57.5	just in case something bad happens. And what do you imagine could happen? That's bad.
2:03.7	Maybe I get sick or the powder goes out and I won't be close to them.
2:13.9	When did this start? You being afraid of these things? Maybe since I was six or seven.
2:25.0	Did something happen or about six or seven? Did you get sick or did the power go out or did
2:29.3	something scary happen? Well, a lot of times, well, I've had a lot of times that sometimes
2:40.8	when I'm sitting in my room, my mom and daddy are all the way across the house and the power goes
