| 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 |
| 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. |
| 0:51.6 | Vita, welcome to the program. What can I do for you? Thank you, Dr. Laura. I'm a big fan of you. I've |

| 1:31.9 | my brother could not fly to US because of the COVID-19. |
| 1:36.0 | So I just want to express one issue that happened. My mentality is, and I have seen some, |
| 1:48.6 | my kids have not gone to college yet, but I have some friends who have settled their kids |
| 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. |
