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

1:56.5	I mean, if I want a fuzzy little dog and everybody's getting the humongous dogs,
2:04.0	they're not getting me what I need. Your mother didn't get you a children need.
2:08.1	This is on her.
2:09.0	All right. Well, how come nobody ever looks at that?
