There is a lot of speculation about the causes of the persistent post Covid19 symptoms.The symptoms vary widely,but the cause is uncertain. Some patients may have residual lung and kidney damage.The Covid heart inflammation,myocarditis, is being more widely reported now and can produce effects which can be long lasting or even permanent. Many patients report neurologic and psychiatric symptoms including "brain fog" whose underlying causes are not well understood.

It has been postulated some long haulers could have an immunologic basis, but some have a suspected persistent viremia.Studies have shown patients can demonstrate signs of the Covid virus for several weeks after the onset of Covid 19.

"The estimated time until loss of virus RNA detection ranged from 45.6 days for nasopharyngeal swab samples to 46.3 days for feces samples in mild cases and from 48.9 days for nasopharyngeal swab samples to 49.4 days for feces samples in severe cases, which was longer than those of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV (10,11). Lan et al. reported positive rRT-PCR results in throat swab sampless from patients who recovered from mild COVID-19 for 50 days at maximum (8)"

As Biodoc stated earlier administration of the vaccine seems to help some of the long haulers which IMO may be an indication of a low grade chronic viremia.

Since Brilacidin is both an antiviral and an anti-inflammatory it is possible it could possibly be beneficial in both proposed causes.

I am looking forward to the clinical studies of Brilacidin for Covid19. Hopefully Brilacidin will relieve this plague.
