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

Dr. Laura, how are you? Good. What can I help you with? I'm a long time listener and I know how

you work so I'm going to try to cut to the chase and then if you need more info, I will provide you

with it. How's that? Okay. So what the situation is, thank you. What the situation is, my mom recently

passed away and my brother seems to listen to what his wife's requests are as opposed to and she

keeps getting involved as opposed to what him and my special requests are. And now here comes the

quick example. For example, I asked my brother said let's not do a condolence call due to COVID.

And I said, okay, we'll compromise. Fine. I said, however, I don't want to do it at mom's house

because I feel still very, it makes me very emotional to walk in the house. And he said, well, my

request is we don't go out to a restaurant. So we did not go out to a restaurant. However, his wife

decided that we're going to do it back at my mom's house. And Dr. Laura, I was extremely upset by that.

I did voice my feelings to my brother. She started to get involved and overheard me and I said, stop, stop, stop.

And I said to my brother, I didn't think that that was right. And because I listened to what he

wanted to do. And so all in all. And this has happened once before Dr. Laura, we're the same.

And may I ask you a question? May I ask you a question? Please have to get loud to cut in.
