This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad.

I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,

being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your

risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive,

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

Oh wow. Hi, Dr. Laura. How are you? Good. What's up? Well, I have a dilemma here with my husband.

I feel like I'm hurt over what has happened, but I just need some justification with how I'm feeling.

I was recently, well, two years ago, I was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrolysis,

which it's a lung disease that, and it gets worse over time.

And right now, I get pneumonia maybe once a year and small bronchitis episodes and things

like that. So it's at bay and it's not progressed fast, but the future it might.

And I have set my husband down and told him about everything, and he travels a lot with his work.

And he's 62. I'm 62. I'm already retired. So I'm wanting him to retire now and

us, then some time together of what maybe time we have left.

When you say that, did some Dr. Tellio you didn't have much time left?

Well, it's five to seven years, like it's sexy.

Oh, I see. But I'm pretty healthy and I'm a song for real woman. So far so good.

But it's just taken me in the past year that maybe, you know, I'm not

so strong, you know, and it might hit me and it might happen. So I'm just trying to prepare my husband
