HGTV star Eric Eremita recalls surviving coronavirus, two weeks on ventilator: 'I knew something was wrong'
HGTV star Eric Eremita, a contractor who appeared on a couple of the network's programs, is opening up about his battle with the novel coronavirus after spending nearly a month under the care of doctors in New York City and two weeks on a breathing ventilator. Eremite, who got his break on Johnathan and Drew Scott’s competition building series “Brother to Brother” and also was a figure on “Love It or List It,” detailed his bout with COVID-19 to People magazine, and said he immediately knew something was amiss when he wasn’t able to focus on mundane tasks that often come as second-nature.
