Editor MIA "Russia today" and TV channel RT Margarita Simonyan, for example, approaches to the treatment of coronavirus infection compared the Russian and the American health care system.
"Stories are published daily absolutely horrible, which just my heart bleeds. Here, American nurse at the 30th week of pregnancy, that is exactly when we come to the decree, treating patients with coronavirus, of course, herself fell ill with the coronavirus. Was home sick, because no one is recommended to go to the doctors, and are encouraged to stay home until you’re not already starting to die. We have a very different approach. We say: "please Contact your doctors immediately call an ambulance", – said Simonyan, the TV channel "Russia-1".
According to her, in the United States in times less doctors per capita and hospital beds and an ambulance, the locals don’t call, because often can not afford. According to statistics, said Simonyan, 60% dying from coronavirus in the United States – blacks, because they belong to the poorest segment of the population.
"In America, indeed, it must be admitted, probably the best in the world, in America and Germany, the medicine for wealthy people. The quality and level it is brilliant. Mass medicine as we have from the Soviet era, thank God, remained it is not there", – said the chief editor.
"Yes, we have it inferior, we have waiting lists in hospitals, we can have half an hour to wait for the ambulance, we got a nurse can get nasty. We, comrades, it is. We have where to run. Now we have bedspace 30% free. We have to get used to the idea that not just not worse than there, live in many aspects, in terms of the welfare state, but much better. And exactly this explains our numbers", – said Simonyan.
