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

sponsored by Pfizer. Thank you for listening to this edition of the call of the day. Be sure to

And as you know, there's a placenta. All that stuff is experienced by the baby. So yes,

spats are destructive to all the kids, including the one in her belly. Is it more damaging for

1:47.0

us to stay together or to? It's more damaging for both of you to act like asses.

1:53.5

So why don't you tell me one at a time starting with you, Pete, in what way are you acting like an ass?

1:59.7

And then we'll go to Shelby. So you start this way. I am acting like an ass because I.

2:07.5

I'm acting like an ass because I I become insensitive sometimes to her being pregnant.
