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

sponsored by Pfizer.

They're very different. One is an athlete, one is not, they fight like twins and you know,

1:14.2

we have a situation this morning where they have the same project, do they both completed it,

1:59.5

well, you didn't monitor. If it was this important then, you or your husband should have done whatever

2:05.7

it took to deliver it, pick it up the sun, who forgot it, bring him there, make him be late for

2:10.4

whatever he was late for because it was ultimately his responsibility. So the cut, the kid who

2:16.5

forgot it is the responsible one. The parent who didn't take the kid who made the project

2:22.9

is the responsible one. And this kid, he just shoved it in his backpack because he didn't know any

2:29.9

better. That's it. It's all your fault. Not this kid. This kid is the only one who should not be punished.
