Family doctor-in-training Laura Sang says living through a severe form of COVID-19 drove home how unpredictable the virus can be.

It started when she suddenly felt too tired to go for her usual jog up to Saint Joseph'sOratory.

Three days later, Laura Sang, a healthy 31-year-old family doctor-in-training, woke up with a mild fever. She walked to the hospital, and by the time she got there, her temperature had shot up to 39.5C and her heart was racing.

As an active young person, Sang never expected to be felled by a severe form of COVID-19.

"It really hit home that this virus can be unpredictable," she said.
