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

0:54.1	Hi, Dr. Laura. How are you? Good. What can I do for you? Good. Yes, I was listening to a show

1:44.2	Well, I think it's okay for them to see me sad and ask for, you know, not ask for my child's
1:51.5	support, but you know, if they say, you know, mom, do you know why are you crying? I'm a
1:55.0	cycle Greg too. I'm thinking of him. You know, is that too much of a burden to expect my family to
2:01.1	you know, talk to me when I'm having those feelings or is that putting too much strain on them?
2:06.1	Yeah, depends on your frequency. Right. Yeah. Yeah. And that's what I was wondering at what point
2:15.7	do you say, you know, do you think, okay, this is I'm over, you know, straight away for my husband
