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

you know, we've just gotten married just at our vows and kind of...

Why did we wait eight years and what precipitated a marriage? Now think hard, that's not a simple question.

It's a very valid question I think for both him and I, it's not a one-way

situation I think I believe that we push some issues aside looking forward to our marriage and

everything that we've had going for us and admittedly...

What things did you both push aside? What did he push aside?

The way he, the issue he has with me, my having anxiety, we don't, we don't have some, we're not,
