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

0:35.7

sponsored by Pfizer.

1:05.7

This is behavior. It was from her husband and she was struggling with him not making decisions.

1:14.6

And you told her not to be a wimp and to make the decision.

1:20.7

And that his passive aggressive behavior was a personality disorder and that he wouldn't be able to change.

1:28.3

But do you think that wimp behavior is something that's part of someone's personality and they can't change that?

1:45.2

1:48.4

Okay. Because I know that sometimes I can be passive aggressive, but a lot of times I can be

1:54.8

wimp when I'm coming up against. Okay. You're not being passive aggressive. You're being

2:01.8

something else. So you want to give me an example of what you're doing when you call it passive aggressive?

2:08.5

Yeah. If I'm having a disagreement with somebody and it's getting heated and then I could see

2:22.4

that it's not going to change, I end up going, you know, silent and just like whatever, you know,

2:28.1

and maybe walking away or, you know, that's wimp. That's wimp. And you can change that. I'm going to put

2:35.6

you on hold. We can talk about that some more after the break. So we're going to take the top of the

2:40.2

hour break and come back with your calls, including Julia. Interesting question. Stay with us.
