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

sponsored by Pfizer.

Mike, welcome to the program. Hello, Dr. Laura. This is Mike. I wrote to you almost 22 years ago

1:00.0

about leaving a job that required a lot of travel. At the time, I had three middle school-aged

1:09.2

children. My wife and I decided to leave the job and we started a new business so that I could

Business has continued to grow. Of course, we did hit a rough spot in 08, 9, and 10.

1:54.1

I now have five grandchildren and one more on the way. I and William and I are still together.

2:05.2

It wasn't an easy path, but I am so grateful that I made the decision to be there for my kids

2:12.7

every night. It's just I just wanted to call you and thank you for your show of support.

2:22.6

Coincidentally, a lady was listening to you read the letter and came in right after you read

2:29.7

the letter on the air. Wow. An area road from us. It was just a great experience and I just

2:40.8

wanted to thank you for that support 22 years ago. Well, I appreciate you calling me today to
