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

1:41.2

to do with being dyslexic. No, but like I remember when I was little having all my books together

1:48.6

to do work and I could never do the work. Yeah, but we're not in school anymore. That's not an issue.

1:54.0

That's not what he's talking about. Okay, so that's what I want to figure out what is the issue?

2:00.0

When he says you don't finish anything, what is he pointing at that you're not finishing? What is he

2:07.2

pointing at? Like I want to lose weight and I don't I don't accomplish that. That has nothing to do

2:13.2

with dyslexia. What else? Okay, so that's the only thing I could kind of equate to that. So I need
