| 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 |

| 2:02.6 | They said that I should have been there as a friend and a family member. |
| 2:07.4 | May I comment? May I comment? Yes. |
| 2:13.5 | Your friend doesn't understand what being a friend is. |
| 2:15.6 | She's the one that should be your friend. |
| 2:20.2 | Which man, she was there to understand that you had a moral legal obligation to this dying patient. |
