The anti-inflammatory effects of Brilacidin may be even more important. A lot of people die of "complications" of a virus. These can be pneumonia (infection) -- but often, people with healthy immune systems die BECAUSE their immune system reacted so strongly to the invading virus that the body released all kinds of messenger proteins and infection-fighting cells and chemicals -- and it causes multiple organ failure that kills people. That's why the 1918 "Spanish" flu killed so many young healthy people -- their immune systems were strong, and it was the body's response to the virus that ultimately killed them.

THIS virus seems to kill a lot of people in their 50's, plus older people who have health problems. People of any age can die from it, but they are saying now that the group with the highest percentage of deaths is men in their 50's.
