This is Dr. Laura. The call of the day is coming right up after this message from my sponsor.

I wanted to know why some people who get COVID-19 get it so bad.

I found out it may be because they have a high risk factor, such as heart disease, diabetes,

being overweight, smoking, and asthma. Even if symptoms feel mild, these factors can increase your

risk of COVID-19 turning severe. So if you're at high risk and test positive,

there are things you can do, like asking your health care provider if an authorized

oral treatment is right for you. Learn about an option at treatcovid19.com. This message is

sponsored by Pfizer. Thank you for listening to this edition of the call of the day. Be sure to

listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011. Madeline,

welcome to the program. Hi, good afternoon. What can I do for you? Well, actually, I'm just calling

real quick to say thank you. I bought a vehicle in May, then it was a big accomplishment for me,

and it had a trial for Sirius XM and I was telling you. I was telling through and I stumbled

on your program and started listening every day, faithfully every day, and your viewpoints and

the way that you talk to people and how you rely just to get to the straight answer. And the

things that you that you talk about every day, it has definitely given me a new perspective,

made me a stronger woman, and even helped me with my choices and decision and how I talk to my

children. So thank you. Wow. Thank you. Well, let me when you first heard it, were you a little shocked?

Um, yeah. What shocked you? I mean, I know I can guess, but what shocked you?

I'm going to take a quick time out and then back with the conclusion of this call.
