Professor Nikolay Mladenov with a warning: COVID-19 with unprecedented lung damage

It is noteworthy that the coronavirus attacks the lungs very quickly, the injuries are very serious. It is not like the first wave of spring. The difference is the devastation of the lungs, which is downright terrifying. We have never had X-rays like the ones we see now in patients.

This was commented to BTV by Prof. Nikolay Mladenov, head of the clinic for anesthesiology and intensive care.

“This is happening everywhere in Europe, not just here. So the pandemic continues. That is why I speak to all people: we have to be afraid and I would say that anyone can pull the baton. So let’s be tolerant of each other. , be careful, because each one of us is responsible. “According to him, rapid antigen tests can help in this situation.

“These tests establish in 15 minutes if the patient has an infection or not. This is the primary triage, which must be performed on site, at the patient’s home. The objective is to protect the doctors themselves in this way,” explained the Professor Mladenov. . “They are 97% reliable,” he added. Professor Mladenov called on people to wear masks everywhere and to show empathy with doctors, as doctors do with patients.
