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 health care 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.
1:05.7	I hope you can help me formulate how to tell my in-laws that we will not be having any

1:53.5	And I've known kind of their, herner has been very vocal about their political views.
2:01.6	And we are just on the opposite side of the fence for me, my family have.
2:05.0	Well, can we drop the politics? Because when I think of getting COVID, I don't think of who I
2:09.3	voted for. I think of hoping I don't die. So I'm not sure I understand. If you could leave
2:15.5	politics out of this yourself for a minute, tell me why two months ago you were okay getting
2:20.6	together with them and now you're not. If you could just tell me the difference, please.
2:26.4	So last week, we actually went to a sporting event for one of their kids.
