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. Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio

1:44.7

Um, so I mean, it's been a discussion quite a bit between, um, between my husband and myself.

1:58.8

I talked with your mother getting along with your brother is a repetitive discussion with you and

2:05.1

your husband. Why? Um, well, I just, I often feel, well, he thinks that I could somehow have a

2:18.6

discussion with my brother about whatever it is that he imagined my mom had done to. Why is your

2:25.7

husband sticking his nose in this? Why is your husband sticking his nose in this? Well, actually,

2:31.4

he wants to pray when you hear my voice stop and listen, uh, why does your husband think
