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

sponsored by Pfizer.

Vita, welcome to the program. What can I do for you? Thank you, Dr. Laura. I'm a big fan of you. I've

1:53.1

and have been and talked to them. Based on my experience, what I did was I took minimal basic

1:59.8

stuff from home that are essential. And I set up his apartment with those things.

2:08.1

But my brother, who is very, very well to do in India, expected a very royal treatment and

2:18.5

all the material. Okay, Kavita, Kavita, Kavita. When somebody is outrageous and unreasonable,

2:26.5

and obnoxious like your brother, all you say is, sorry to disappoint you, I did my best.

2:33.8

If there's more you'd like to see in your son's apartment, you can take care of it.
