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

1:58.8	dynamic and you, you know, and it's just hard for me to, I guess you kind of always put yourself
2:08.0	in that on the helper. And it's hard to be in that situation is to help be, you know, and I'm
2:14.2	having trouble finding someone that I kind of can fit with that way. It may not, you may not need
2:20.4	a counselor. You may need a really good friend. Okay. You don't need somebody who's trained. You
2:27.4	need somebody to listen to you. And you need to speak. Well, let's sort of try it right now.
