This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

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

2:07.4

because he was afraid to be home alone he was paranoid about everything and I didn't know how

2:12.1

to take care of him. I had to keep calling his mom. Well that was above your pay scale. That was

2:17.4

above your pay scale. We have to know when we really don't have something that will help solve

2:25.2

the problem or make it better but we have to find someone else or someplace else to do it because

2:30.5

it's above our pay scale. Yes. Your job is to make sure they're taken care of not to necessarily
