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,

1:43.4	behavior that... Like what? Like what? Like what? Like he will call me names.
1:57.2	Negative names. He will say demeaning things to me such as, oh, you think you're hot stuff.
2:04.1	You're not... You're not as talented as you think. The names that he calls me are...
2:18.6	You know, you're a clown. You act like a clown. Or you look like a clown.
2:26.7	Or you are a... When did all that start? It started about three months into the relationship.
2:40.6	What? When you was angry about something. Three months into knowing him?
