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 healthcare 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.
0:54.1	Oh, sorry Dr. Laura. How are you? Good. What can I do for you? I'm calling because my
1:02.4	sister's husband passed away in January. He wasn't always the best husband or father. She was two
1:08.6	adult kids, but we're still mourning him. And she has recently reconnected with somebody that she
1:16.3	went to high school with at a reunion and he lost his wife to cancer last year and they've started
1:20.5	dating. She really likes him and she wants us to meet him. And I don't want her to be alone,
1:27.1	but I think it's a little soon and I'm trying not to be stressed about that. It's not a little soon
1:31.6	when you had a bad husband to find a better one. Thank you for saying that. You're welcome.
1:42.1	That's what I needed to hear. Thank you. You're welcome. I'm sorry for your pain,
1:51.9	but I'm sure happy she has a part two that'll be better. Hopefully. Oh my god, you are so right. Thank
1:58.5	you. You're welcome. How sweet. Actually, my number 1-800-375-28-72. Check out my social media
2:14.6	on Facebook and Instagram. I post stories, photos and videos seven days a week and feature some of
2:20.4	what you sent me to. There's always something interesting going on there. You can find me at
2:25.8	Facebook.com slash Dr. Laura and Instagram.com slash Dr. Laura program.
