The pathogen burden， defined by the frequency of antibodies to several viruses and a parasite， is greater in Hispanic whites and black populations than it is in non-Hispanic whites， in the USA。 The poor and those without higher education also have higher pathogen burdens。 The most frequent pathogen that was measured， was the Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1)。 This virus can inactivate most of the elements in the immune system， that are designed to protect against the incursions of viruses， bacteria and other pathogens。 HSV-1 can also damage the blood brain barrier (BBB)， which prevents the entry of pathogens into the central nervous system。 Without the help of HSV-1， the COVID-19 virus may not be able to cause serious illness or death in humans。 A prophylactic treatment to contain HSV-1， could be vital in the fight against COVID-19。
