Doctor: There is neither a pandemic nor an epidemic in the Russian Federation, but Europe is choked
There is no reason to be outraged, as is happening now on social networks and forums, by the flight to Italy of an advanced group of Russian military virologists to help a country affected by the coronavirus.
The head physician of the city clinical hospital No. 71, ex-chief physician of the Kremlin, Alexander Myasnikov, stated this in an interview with Komsomolskaya Pravda.
“When your neighbor’s house is on fire, you run there and carry water in buckets, forgetting about everything. It makes you human. Therefore, I would not even explain anything to such people who write. When their house is on fire, they will be helped. Because not all people are such rednecks, fortunately. But they won’t understand this,” Myasnikov said.
“What kind of shortage are we talking about? What is missing? We may run out of toilet paper when such rednecks shit themselves out of fear and panic at the same time. For now, thank God, we have enough of everything else. We don’t have not only a pandemic, but not even an epidemic. We have hundreds of cases per capita, which is now less than anywhere else. Therefore, there can be no talk of any shortage today,” the doctor is convinced.
He notes that Russian virologists will gain invaluable practical experience in Italy, but emphasizes that first of all they are going to help.
“Europe is choking today. She always believed that she had the most advanced medical care compared to us. I was proud of it. But it turned out that their healthcare system is good for peaceful life, but under force majeure it simply choked. Then Europe turned to where it could get this help. And I’m proud and glad that we can help them,” Myasnikov concluded.
Let us remind you that Russian military doctors, specialists in the field of virology and epidemiology with equipment for diagnostics and disinfection measures were delivered to Italy from Russia by military transport aircraft of the VKS. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, virologists and equipment are being delivered to the Italian Air Force base “Practice de Mare” near Rome.
