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.
1:06.5	52 years old, the youngest of four, two girls, two boys. My parents are elderly in their 80s and 90s,
1:14.8	and they require assistance. I'm happy to do my sister and I, doctor's appointments,

1:40.8	Yes. This is true in just about every culture in the world.
1:45.2	Okay. The women are the caretakers, the men are the providers. Very rarely do men become
1:51.8	the caretakers. That's just culturally, across all cultures.
1:58.6	Even, but like in this case, it's guy stuff, like cutting the grass.
2:04.1	No, you know, I'm sorry if your brothers are creeps. There's nothing I can do about it.
2:11.6	There's nothing you can do about it. They are creeps. The issue is that I'm angry with them.
2:15.3	Okay. What should I do with my feeling? I have. I have to hold them like, and that's all I need.
2:22.4	Okay. Let's slow down.
2:23.9	Over what you just said. Okay. You said I'm angry. What should I do? I said tell them you said I have.
