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

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

sponsored by Pfizer. Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio

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
