Nolupus...that's pretty scary stuff in the link you posted.
'Is it possible that some of the extensive organ, tissue, and cellular damage done by SARS-CoV-2 is due to viral antigenic mimicry with human tissue?
If the answer is yes, then we may face an increase in the rates of autoimmune disease in the future, because any factor that causes chronic inflammation in the body can potentially induce autoimmune disease.'
All the more need for something to knock this virus on the head at the earliest possible moment.
Research/trial data from SNG's work with SNG001 for MS (an autoimmune disease) and COPD together with the current trials with Covid19 patients in hospital and at home should give them a very broad insight into SNG001's cell protection abilities and disease progression prevention.
'Tom Wilkinson, a professor of respiratory medicine at the University of Southampton, said, “We are hoping that the drug will increase the rate of recovery from infection, that it will increase the protection in the bit of the lungs that are not infected yet and will reduce the number of patients that decline significantly and require intubation and ventilation.”
