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

1:33.2	to my mother in a couple years in the last couple of years. No, not and because I've not spoken to
1:39.6	my mother in a couple of years because because of we were arguing about our differences of opinion
1:50.1	on how to raise my brother and I actually called about it a couple years ago about how to handle
1:56.9	them because I he was living with me at the time. So we were arguing about how to handle
2:03.8	the arrangements of him living with me or not. I disagreed with her opinion and I brought up
2:11.0	my this uncle that just passed away that I didn't want my brother to grow up like that because
