Gen. Mutafchiiski: We have to learn at this stage how to live with a coronavirus.

We need to learn at this stage to live with a coronavirus. Many doctors say that warm weather can affect you, but many colleagues say this will not happen. This was stated in the “120 minutes” program by the Chief of the Operating Staff, Major General Ventsislav Mutafchiiski.

The criticism that we were all at home with 8 infected people, and now they are all out, has nothing to do with the truth.

“After that, the state of emergency was really a minimal number, I don’t remember exactly how many there were, but these measures were introduced so that there is no such boom as in other countries and we don’t have such a boom. So my version and I suppose for most Of the reasonable people is that the success in Bulgaria is because the measures were imposed early, in a reasonable amount, and not because there is any contradiction; now, you see, 40 infected people are loosening the measures.

Yes, but now you didn’t know it at first, and before you had to wear a mask, you weren’t even used to staying within two meters of others. It didn’t occur to you at all, and it didn’t occur to me. But now people have a certain reflex made for this. They know they have to wear a mask, they have to keep their hands clean, they don’t have to touch from left to right, whatever, they have to be careful in the store, they have to protect the elderly, they have to Entering vehicles must have a mask, they must protect themselves, they must protect others. “

Our healthcare system was not fully prepared and the whole world was not prepared, added the general, saying that now our healthcare system is much more prepared and has nothing to do with what it was.

“The Prime Minister is a man of very strong character, but I think he was convinced that I was also a man of very strong character.

We hold the opinion and a consensus is reached, not in two words, but in long discussions, with many pros and cons, with my colleagues, who, whenever we express our position, must first clarify the contradictions between us, because everyone has different considerations, everyone can give different arguments.

My colleagues at headquarters are really professionals in this field: epidemiologists, infectious diseases, virologists, although I am not the only one in this field, but my tasks in recent years have been the organization of all military medical care. What we do now, I do all the time at my job. “

I think we will always reach a consensus, because so far at least we have not had such irreconcilable contradictions between us and Mr. Borissov, said the general. Mutafchiiski.

“One thing with which he did not agree and the headquarters did not agree with the opening of the restaurants within the interior areas and this did not happen, he himself announced it publicly. And also with the kindergartens, although we do not have Sufficient experience with the loosening of the measures and what will be the impact on our health system and the growth of morbidity, which also publicly announced that it was against our opinion, although the majority of the ministers, who attended this Council of Ministers, your first duel was kindergartens, because it is an Achilles heel for young people to go to work, but there are many unknowns and we defended our position and the government agreed.

As for the matura, the general said they had given contractual instructions to keep a distance.

“If necessary, the hallways will be used to expand the spaces as much as possible, conservators and the students themselves will wear masks. I hope the coronavirus will be over soon. By next year, sufficient mechanisms will be developed so as not to interrupt the learning process .

The kids are great, even with their spontaneity, they asked some of the most meaningful questions I’ve ever received. “
