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.

I'm Dr. Laura. How you doing? Good. What can I do for you? I feel like this is so convoluted.

1:01.9

I hope I can try to stay in a great forward way. I've been married to my husband for a long time.

1:45.0

with a guy like that? Just curious. Well, I made three. And I explained that to me. I explained

1:55.5

that to me. I can understand the staying, but bringing kids into that atmosphere. Why would you do that?

2:04.2

I understand your question, but I didn't realize the intensity of the personality,

2:11.6

of his personality. That was a nonsensical answer. No.

2:18.7

I don't want to be terribly rude, but that was a nonsensical answer.

2:23.6

But all right, go ahead. So what can I do for you now? Well, maybe I have some insecurities

2:28.7

that made me marry him in the first place. So I'll, I'll answer your questions. I think that's okay.

2:34.2

Yeah. It doesn't explain the three kids because some part of you would have been hurt and wanted to minimize.
