Sunjay Sharma couldn’t believe it when his rapid antigen test turned up positive on the 10th after having followed prevention protocols for years and dodging the affliction during some of the pandemic’s darkest days.“I got home that evening and I wasn’t feeling well.
I thought it maybe just had a cold or some allergies,” the medical director of Hamilton General’s intensive care unit (ICU) told 900 CHML’s Good Morning Hamilton.“So when we did the test and tested positive, I kinda had to do another one because I couldn’t believe that I had it.
It was definitely a surprise.”Sharma, 42, says COVID confined him to a bed for about three of four days with a fever of 104 C, sore muscles and headaches and spread to family members including his wife and two young children.
