There is no contradiction in the things that I have said

Mangarov spoke on bTV’s “120 Minutes” show, and the format was unique, recalling his conflicting comments over the past few months. In the presentation itself, however, there were suggestions, for example, on the comment that young people must face COVID-19, because they will take it out, and the counterpoint that 19-year-old Hristo Denev died of the disease. According to the statement of the head of MHAT “Dr. Stefan Cherkezov” Dr. Stefan Filev for the official autopsy, Hristo had obesity, which is indicated as a major risk factor, and separately in this case Hristo’s father is convinced that the treatment is not carried out correctly and he continues to demand justice from the Bulgarian judiciary.

Another pointed comment was made by the assistant professor of infectious diseases Atanas Mangarov on the occasion of wearing masks in front of “7/8 TV”. According to the teacher …

Now Mangarov has responded to an accusation by the president of the Bulgarian Medical Union (BMU), Dr. Ivan Madkharov, that Mangarov has a personal responsibility to confuse much of Bulgarian society about COVID-19. The associate professor responded in absentia that it was not right for all those infected to enter the hospital in order. And he asked who would come to examine you if you were at home; he would get in touch and “get out of the game.” Mangarov did not answer a direct question about whether he made home visits to coronavirus patients. “The main precaution is that I wash my hands. Sometimes I wear a mask, when I need to wear it. When I’m in the hospital and they examine me, sometimes I wear a mask,” Mangarov said. He explained that he had tested more than 50 people with COVID-19, and a significant number of them tested positive for COVID-19 only after they had been tested. He also said with certainty that he had not transmitted the virus to other patients he had examined, although he said that he had examined people without a mask and that they may have been carriers of the virus. It is very difficult for me to have transmitted the virus, he added, referring to the fact that he tested positive for COVID-19 before they had any visible symptoms. And he gave an example: if a patient is cowardly and sensible enough, he will ask the examining doctor to show him a negative test for the coronavirus. Therefore, the system will collapse, Mangarov specified. Mangarov recipe, if infected and at home, that is. has no serious symptoms: drink teas and soups, drink aspirin. 90% of people in hospitals can be cared for at home if there is someone to treat them, he insisted. “Sooner or later this will disappear, and the more we close, the more this agony will continue,” concluded the associate professor. with great clarification – that people go to the hospital because there is no one to treat them at home!! If we could test the 7,000,000 people in Bulgaria, we would find between 70,000 and 80,000 people a day, Mangarov said.

From what I heard, I think the prime minister is sick, not just infected. However, you have a mild form of COVID-19. This was explained by the pulmonologist …

The associate professor noted that he was tested 7 days after his meeting with BNT presenter Georgi Lyubenov, who turned out to have a positive PCR test. Mangarov was tested with an antigen test. And during the time he had to be quarantined under current rules, the associate professor examined the patients. The doctor said something else: I think the rules should be followed, even if we don’t approve of them. But he himself admitted that he was riding public transport without a mask, specifying that the rules must be followed if they are not meaningless. “I am willing to pay a fine of BGN 300,” Mangarov said.
