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
0:29.9	oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is

1:55.5	to hug her kiss them. I show respect that no matter how old or how young a kid is, they have
2:02.4	the right to decide that. How do you how do you explain your mom? I'm just curious.
2:09.4	Well, this grandma that he's talking about is his great grandma and today's her 79th birthday.
