Doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov on the air of the Full Contact program with Vladimir Solovyov spoke about the statistics on infection with coronavirus. The doctor is convinced that it is pointless to publish daily data on the number of patients with COVID-19. Issue available at YouTube.
Solovyov asked the doctor why they published data on how many people were infected on the network. “You are right on the sick. It’s absolutely pointless, ”said Myasnikov.
As an example, the doctor considered data from the United States. If a million infections are recorded per day, everyone with whom the infected have come into contact must also pass the test. He admitted that each of the million infected communicated with ten people – they all passed one test and there were already ten million tests.

If the result is negative, those who have been in contact with the infected must take two more tests, on the second and fourth day. If all three tests were negative, the person may be free. “But if one is positive, then you go into isolation, and plus your environment [должно сдать тесты]. That is, this is a “carousel of tests”, these are billions of tests a day, which do not mean anything, ”the doctor explained and added that in most cases the disease is asymptomatic.
Myasnikov believes that figures for the employment of resuscitations and deaths should be published, but these data may also be useless. The doctor drew attention to the experience of France: there, the death rate and the number of hospitalizations practically did not increase, despite the spread of the omicron strain, which was recognized as more infectious.
At the same time, the very statistics of infections can cause negative emotions in people. “Again, it’s impossible to watch, nerves to hell. You look – it starts there, here. You want one thing: either strangle yourself or drink a lot of vodka, ”Myasnikov concluded.
Previously, the doctor explained why new strains of coronavirus appear. The main source of mutations are immunocompromised patients who contracted the coronavirus, the physician is convinced.
