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

And he was just, you could tell he was kind of an awest first, and then he turned around and

snuggled into my chest for a good half an hour, not saying much. And then he looked up at me and

he goes, I needed this so much. Oh my God. It made me want to cry. It just made me feel like I

had been neglecting him so much. With two, I have a one in a three year old, and it was incredible.

Literally, the immediate change that I saw after reading, as I said, one chapter.

And then, so I continued. The next night, I made him a great big dinner. I went all out. He

got home from work at like seven o'clock, covered in rain because he works outside. He sits down to dinner
