0:00.0	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
0:29.9	oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is
0:35.7	sponsored by Pfizer.
0:55.2	Good afternoon, Dr. Laura. It's nice to chat with you. I have three generations now listening to you
1:01.1	over. Thank you. My daughter and now my granddaughter. Thank you. What's happened? You're very welcome.
1:11.4	So your screener was very sweet. My question, I don't know where to start actually. It's about

1:37.6	won't reply. I have to keep asking, would you like to do this? This is something you would like to
1:42.6	do. She ultimately says yes. But through this summer, it's been about six months. I've asked her to
1:50.3	get together once a month. No reply whatsoever. Last week I said I'm going to ask one more time.
1:56.4	Is this something you would like to do? Would you like to hang out? There's clearly something going on.
2:01.3	I would love to chat about it. And now the blue today, I get an invitation to come to their
2:06.4	house for Thanksgiving. Now it would only be the four of us. And there's a lot going on underneath.
2:15.6	We tried to plan a Thanksgiving up where we had to rank cabins and she wouldn't reply about that.
2:20.1	So she basically is non-responsive to me. And now I can ask you a question. Please do help me.
2:30.8	About your husband? Sure. Does he want to do this? Does he want to do this? He doesn't care. Sure. He
