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

2:01.6	Hi. Hi. I have a sentence for you. You tell me what it means to you, okay?
2:09.8	Whoever has the responsibility owns the power. Let me say it again. Whoever has the responsibility
2:17.9	owns the power. What does that mean? Well, I feel like I could interpret that into the
2:27.6	way I did not ask about your feelings. You're going to university. It's supposed to be about
2:33.6	thinking, not feeling. So tell me what it means to you intellectually. So if my parents are
2:43.7	financially responsible for me, then they ultimately have power over me. That's correct.
2:52.4	So if they have rules and expectations based on the fact that they are supporting you,
