Covid

There are other members of the herpes virus family which are close relatives of EBB. There's one called CMV which isn't quite as common but about half of adults have had and are carrying that. So we're wondering whether what's going on here is it's something specific to do with the way that this persistent EBB lives in the body's immune system. Do we know why COVID causes that immune dysfunction? And indeed is that exclusive to SARS-CoV-2 or would other viruses if you looked hard enough do this too?
