| 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 health care 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. Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio |
| 0:45.1 | program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on Sirius XM Triumph 111. Megan, |
| 0:51.7 | welcome to the program. Hi Dr. Laura, how are you? Good. Good to do for you. I actually, I called |

| 1:11.3 | I actually am having an issue with my sister who struggles with substance abuse and has moved |
| 1:15.8 | back home with my parents. And she has financial issues as well and I got a phone call today. |
| 1:21.3 | I've been trying to say I have it as much as possible, but I got a phone call today from a |
| 1:26.1 | financial agency asking for my sister and I obviously told them that it's not my sister's phone number. |
| 1:33.2 | I asked how they got my phone number and they couldn't tell me. But I know that my sister is |
| 1:39.3 | insignificant that and I know that my parents enable this by either giving her money or |
| 1:44.9 | bringing her back home. And my question to you is do I continue to allow this to happen or do I |
| 1:51.5 | move? I'm sorry you continue to allow what to happen. Allow them to bring her back to |
| 1:58.8 | support her. I'm sorry on what planet do you have the power to disallow your parents to let her |
| 2:04.2 | stay with them? You're right. I don't. So then why are you asking a question that's patently |
