The doctor Alexander Myasnikov said that the coronavirus “spared” Russia, thanks to the legacy of the Soviet Union. He called the situation a “Russian wonder”.
“the Coronavirus we obviously have spares, it can be seen by the numbers,” said the medic.
While in Russia, he said, should be tested not less than in the West.
Myasnikov believes that Russia could help the legacy of Soviet medicine: compulsory vaccination of the population of TB BCG and the health care system with a focus on hospitals and not in outpatient treatment.
“Maybe it’s true it’s all in the BCG vaccination?… We have a lot to learn about this infection… we Have significantly more hospital beds per capita than in the West. The world was surprised to learn that of the ventilator and remedies we have more than them”, – said the expert.
In his opinion, the vaunted health care system in the U.S. and Europe with its huge money, on the contrary, suddenly collapsed due to the coronavirus.
But he urged Russians not to relax and stop the virus with voluntary quarantine.
“the Main thing now – as painlessly as possible through the presentation of a new virus and implantation of the animal world in our human.. And yet – panic kills more people than the infection,” concluded butcher.
