igor alexandrovich what is your personal secret for raising immunity, probably the movement is very important , what we all have been doing lately. well, i really, really miss it. eh, it needs to be compensated. uh, i will do my best for this and good literature that creates a mood, that is, which largely determines, in general, a certain sarah also affects the immune system. from childhood, my guest dreamed of becoming a doctor and

carried his devotion to the profession through his whole life at the beginning of which pandemics are visible. he personally visited the regions advised colleagues and handled the most difficult cases. today my guest is the head of the department of infectious diseases of the belarusian state medical university people's doctor of belarus scientists of the year of the national academy of sciences 2022 igor karpov igor aleksandrovich good morning igor aleksandrovich you will agree that earlier, when young doctors went to infectiologists, their manila romance for the most part african infections, but does not covitate in any way, 19, how did you get into infectious diseases to get you interested in infectious diseases? know? well, i have this very thing, just questions related to some exotic at home were very fond of popular geography. uh, they loved

history, they loved literature. you know, it all loomed. eh, pretty clear impression. e about what it is i honestly. in general, the influence is precisely the influence of my grandfather in many ways. that's who really wanted to be a doctor, but did not take place. the time was very contradictory that befell him . eh, it would be my final authority. e and everything came together. uh, then he passed away early enough. here but i got the impression that this specialty is interesting in every possible way , it was supported by the family, therefore , such a desire as a result of rice painting, of course , i had the first, like all absolutely people. we have such a proverb for a doctor and any therapist who has not taken place, a surgeon, of course. first of all, it was a question of surgery, but the second is, of course, children's or favorite books. i always remembered

gulliver in uh. this book is very deep, very deep. eh, in fact, of course, far from childish, but it so happened that it was too early for me she was very introduced, but if you remember, he was a naval surgeon. this is what i remember all my life. only, in my opinion, his last trips were there when he was the captain of the ship. and so he was a doctor from the country. you understand all this somewhere. the bunny was absolutely interesting to me before the 2020 pandemic, most of us ironically watched films about viruses that were able to destroy. eh, that's it, humanity seemed like a fantasy. well , you had to deal with something similar in pre-docian times. you know there was pandemic in 2009. it was a problem. maybe not as bright, not as hmm complicated as uh was covid, but i just want to say. that's what no calyptic

scenarios. it probably cannot be considered in this case. and that is why humanity , by virtue of its life, is faced with pandemics with an increase in the incidence of a pandemic - it is , as it were, a people. here. eh, such a name for this situation was precisely given and, accordingly, humanity, having no scientific antibiotics, experienced all these periods. life because we we coexist with a huge number of different microorganisms - is it a fact that we exist? i would say very successful. so the arrival of viruses is a problem, but i want to say again to paint some unusual scenarios in this regard, because when you look at issues related to history. yes, the world has changed under the influence of many factors, including under fa-a before microbial factors due to microbial factors due to viral ones. but here again. now

mankind has become more intelligent more prepared, uh, for this kind of questions, therefore, probably, here the word fear is inappropriate at the present time, rather the word professional approach is appropriate. and remember your first thought when you heard about the pandemic, yes, i remember very well, very well. i remember. you know, of course, the first thought was that this situation needs to be monitored once and twice. when it was already clear that in general, then the epidemic grows. uh, i got uh another thought. here's the one that doesn't fit right now. eh, it's a matter of wasted time. there were two warnings in the 21st century, when coronavirus infections entered the human population and we met sorry, this is not only in one interview. and not only i thought something will already become real.

as a matter of fact. the fact is, uh , prepare, we should have met this very pandemic without hmm anti-viral treatment without uh issues related to vaccination. right at the start of the pandemic. there have been many different theories, this conspiracy theory is conspiracy theories. how do you feel about these theories. you know the emergence of such theories, er, is an absolutely natural thing, questions have always arisen. here are some anecdotal, of course, things with a spanish flu. that's about what everyone was looking for many countries. this is the time of the first world war. this is 1918. and in general, everyone was looking for enemies. in this regard, there were a lot of conspiracy conversations, they did not understand what was happening , the influenza virus had not yet been discovered, it was discovered after about 13-15 years and they understood, therefore,

in part, what was happening. this decoding of the virus occurred already in the 21st century. in the very at the beginning, as for the present , it is necessary, probably, to focus attention here. that 's what such a theory is currently on, that, in principle, it is being discussed. this is already in itself. eh, it's important to say so, but my personal impression from the very beginning is uh more hmm uh, inclined. e. well, this is a personal opinion. here it is necessary to say by specialists not by scleencists with specialists who are versed in virology, namely classical virology e does not seem to be that it is quite possible that it is natural, perhaps it was studied. well, in this case, hmm, those mutations mutations with viruses occur could lead to such a state in one of their interviews. you called the covid pandemic one of the most

difficult of your practice. why do you know, first of all, this is probably a very complicated situation in the practice of a whole generation of doctors. secondly, the knowledge of a new disease in the dynamics of its development in the dynamics of the development of a pandemic in a changing situation, of course, i wanted to get more knowledge on this issue , so information that went around the world to the uh applied situation it is in the republic of belarus that we have an understanding. the disease itself and what aspects and what mechanisms can be affected at what time, what is available to us? what is effective, what is not? this is a very important point. and this is absolutely team work. well, uh, and uh,

this was the most difficult moment. well, of course, you know they say that the doctor to death there or so on and so forth here are the various issues. how impossible to get used to, just impossible to get used to, so of course we dear colleagues who worked as resuscitators and doctors of many specialties, of course, worked in a very restless state, but they did everything , i especially want to say that the damia bank is a common national one, and the fight against the pandemic should also be with this the attachment itself. she, uh, should be generally popular and indeed, not only doctors, here and there , there are also nurses. i want to put an exclamation mark here after everything that and what i had to face and see their attitude towards people people are completely different specialties are just neurons, because people put in a lot of effort. and you remember the first patient, uh, covid, that you

examined, but i remember, of course, the first patient with this infection. a lot has been written about him. i don't want to stop. in general, on some details. so i want to say that indeed, yes, we met for the first time, but with a problem in itself. well, again. i will simply say that doctors were the first to face this problem. eh, emergency room. well, i mean ours. well, mind you, the man was brought welcome, respectively, nurses. get dressed and you know what you really want to say? never any problems. in this regard, there were no people, just worked. they did their duty. every week, the heroes go in search of adventure. if

you drive 25 km from minsk, you will have an unforgettable time in this place, skin people. i didn't want to spend. our city rut, the show write here the fish was with them to bring a stone. well, i'll bring kizmokh. i could push away such carrying. see who we have here us. so, in my opinion, zaporozhets yes, well, here is one of the first they must complete all the tasks and complete the quest. from what word the name of the city linda comes from, maybe the river the name of the king's daughter is somehow connected with what was decided in the legend, yet to convince visually the next task brought me here to the elevator and the center of culture and folk art. and what will we make songs and stone, scissors and paper will help them, look on our tv channel, belarus is intellectual and the whole country we are convinced of this once again we are building innovative future and actively develop

scientific technological potential for the first time showed a vaccine that helps fight cancer laser technology, chips and microcircuits, entirely on domestic, components our experts successfully enter the energy instrumentation into military robotics technology. and even in orbit , all this experience of our own competence in various industries allows us today to overcome the pressure of sanctions with dignity and help our ally in the main broadcast project in this. watch on tv belarus 24. then in 2020, doctors were the first to take a hit, and unfortunately, most of them became the main targets for the virus. and you probably got infected too.

well, naturally, naturally, my legs hurt with this disease. many got sick. not only doctors, i want to emphasize. here and here it is very interesting that one of the interesting works has always recently come out. it's the uh specialties that have been arranged, you see, the first ones are always the people who are the first to get sick, that is, doctors of the first link are needed here. how it is said to be sure to mention this to those who are on the first line . uh and and everyone who faced this situation. well damn, yes, i was sick. and in what form did you transfer it, you know, it was not in a very severe form. i was in the hospital twice, too , with a temperature, and everything, as it should be , is a temperature. yes, it happened here with clinical symptoms. when the vaccine appeared, it helped. yes of course how much

once you were vaccinated you know i appeared here is a double vaccine. it was very early right away, uh, then there was a double revaccination, that is, uh, that's what it was. here is a two booster vaccination in 2020. you predicted that the pandemic would subside by the end of 22. and i must say that your predictions came true. and what do you think will succeed or we forget? what is a pandemic? what will happen next you know? the thing is, we don't have a magic wand. here, to wave to say, uh, the twenty-second year will disappear at the end so it doesn’t work out. the fact is that viruses their lives can not be considered again, i want to say how intelligent beings then you. well, the ability nonetheless. they are very significant to external conditions, and at the present time, covi 19 is slowly starting to cede its locus, that is , the respiratory tract of a person, uh, to another

common virus, which together are called acute respiratory viral diseases, acute respiratory infections , that is, among these main symptoms. the current e strains. this is a disease of the upper respiratory tract, yes, more emphasis on the upper respiratory ways, however, it must be well remembered that we still have a contingentarial system. now it is necessary to take care of the elderly and people with underlying diseases. first of all. this is a very important aspect from 2020. how treatment protocols have changed. you know , fortunately, they really have changed for the better. at the very beginning of e, when this disease arose, scientists from all over the world, especially china, carried out very intensive work to evaluate various antiviral drugs, and other drugs, its effect on the top try medicines for m-e hiv-infection antiviral drugs

first. they went under the test. well, it quickly became clear. hmm, early enough that they're not as effective as we'd like. er, in this case, then the second phase, very important. this is the awareness that the disease has a cyclical course and in a certain phase of this disease it is necessary to influence, however, or other substances. however, this was not an effect on the virus, but rather the removal of those same intoxication phenomena. in in any case, it is called pathogenetic in medicine. here is the treatment, which was in many cases of a severe course of the disease , gave its ether. well, finally. uh, the emergence or awareness may not be ideal by now, but antiviral drugs that greatly facilitate the course when they are used primarily with three

exclamation points about the risk population in the early period. these medicinal substances, uh, these medicines are currently available. and they are used by us in number. now how to guess that you have a common cold. well, you know, if the disease arrives in a rather serious course or a person from the risk contingent falls ill, then you definitely need to seek medical help. secondly, uh is absolutely accessible, including fast express diagnostics. we have this thing now very widely outside. in clinical practice, that is, laboratory confirmation will prompt controversial cases, how to behave, is hospitalization necessary? diseases do not delay the situation, but undergo an examination. what are the current figures for the incidence of seasonal viruses,

including covid? is it possible to talk about a pandemic, but i want to talk about the dynamics of the incidence, it really is different at present. and this is very important from 21 and winter 22 years. that is december. january month 22 years. these numbers change, if you arrange your value by value, the second very important aspect is preserved - this is the aspect that has increased. uh, the amount of flu and fungus has come enough early. he came to e in the month of december. in the republic of belarus, this usually happens in january, a number of viruses appeared, for example, respiratory syncytial viruses - these are three viruses that were isolated. hence the name 3dmi. but i just want to say that these are common respiratory viruses that we encounter every year. sometimes several

times it and let's talk a little about prevention. eh, you advise to get vaccinated. how to say? i instill if i always advise, because when they started talking about the second booster, remember autumn, hmm need not need. yes indeed, it is not guaranteed the absence of morbidity, however, the reduction in the contingent of the risk, er, of poor outcomes and complicated course, is 14 dashes 20 times. it speaks for itself, how can you ignore such numbers and such things, and how effective are satellites against in the current pants, there is a decrease in efficiency in relation to morbidity, of course, there is a virus always trying to bypass the immunity, this must be understood, but vaccines are also being improved, in- first, and secondly, again, for a long time we have been evaluating the effect is not on the incidence of anality. here, uh, in general,

the effectiveness really remains. uh, it's obvious, but is it worth wearing a mask, you know , there should be a healthy attitude towards masks, especially now, that is, if there is some, in general, uh, some kind of crowding, someone sneezes, coughs. this is absolutely right for him and those around him somewhere. e who can not keep their distance in this situation to take action not to get sick. e orville not to bring this infection is another matter, which, as we have seen very often, when in general, the mask was put on a lot of people were afraid, uh, and so. the word “correct” somehow doesn’t work for me, because it’s correct when a mask is properly put on, when your nose is open and about a slobbering mask, you know , a song immediately appeared very much. eh, people, um , notice well. uh, this whole thing is called a reusable disposable mask. now, when this is a disposable reusable

mask, then you will say something, you understand, this must be treated correctly and sensibly to use in e. here, the indicated situations are present, but it should not be a disposable reusable mask left over from last year and hanging for your own comfort. in your opinion, what good and bad habits did the code give us, but the kovets probably didn’t give us, i’m a habit. yes , of course, yes, he brought it, he brought it into our lives. really. e hmm people have become attentive to the problem of infectious diseases. the point is that, uh, what happened here must be correctly interpreted, uh, what happened, first of all, not from some panicked emotional uh, point of view or position from emotional positions.

it is always destructive to understand that this problem needs to be dealt with. seriously, what we have, that this is not the most sociable forever, there should be specialists in both clinical and, i emphasize in uh, virological or microbiological aspects that can correctly assess the situation. here's how to properly prepare for it. that is, this preparation must be systematic, very reasonable; it must be carried out, and even the construction of some medical institutions. they must be carried out intelligently with a layout to understand what is the situation with respiratory infections. it may occur from time to time. and so, uh, the situation with the coid itself should teach that. secondly, many people need to reconsider their attitudes towards vaccination. do you understand? the fact is that there are always a lot of people who do not accept this fact, it is not

only with us, but in general this is the reaction. well, you need to understand that vaccination has repeatedly rescued humanity and not only children, but also adults, and therefore the view on this problem must be completely understood. here is the vaccination is a huge benefit a huge achievement. its introduction to gold save a lot. personal life is in relation to some everyday aspects, well, mankind has learned to wash their hands. and, of course, the great attention to the synthesis of the same applies to many scientists of antiviral drugs and the constant improvement of them and the use of more, uh, conclusions that, uh, should have been made. these are conclusions about the beginning. here all the time i remember, really 2019-2020. that's right, uh, which are the simple reason that uh each of countries. uh, many closed and closed for

the export of pharmacological agents. vaccines have all become limited. and suddenly it turned out that, as it were, the world. uh, a huge community of them at the same time, the country remains, as if one on one with will. here are the problems that take place in this regard. this aspect should be very good. the layer and, accordingly, those technologies that in this case can be advantageous in a difficult situation. they should develop groups of scientists who work with this pathology. in general, they should exist and be able to do many things. this is right. that is, it requires discussion. it requires. eh, thoughts and of course, practical incarnations. you know a very good phrase exists that knowledge without uh actions, they are not fruitful, but actions without knowledge. they are harmful. that

's why here, of course, after each gaining some experience and knowledge , the correct consistent actions are necessary. we talked so much about viruses today, and we talked so little. about you recently. you have been awarded the title of scientist year 2022 for you. it's a nice reward or whatever. extra responsibility you know, it's always an honor. this is the main thing in this situation, and i would like to say that the conversation about this award is probably directly related, of course, to the situation that happened. with that very covid that we have been talking about all the time, here, despite the fact that it has many problems in fencing, but nonetheless. i just want to say that in the academy of sciences there are many excellent schools in our country and many uh, but i'm not afraid of this word technologies, including breakthrough ones, and

good works and achievements. this applies to agriculture in many ways. this applies to medical schools. this applies to technical and sciences. first of all, probably, the physics of chemistry. uh, but the question is, of course, our specialty. i mean infectology. maybe not the brightest and not the most technologically advanced. uh, i was in medicine. it was chosen precisely in connection with the events that took place, so here again, here is the transition from the general to the particular from the general struggle with let's say some personal reward. this is what needs to be understood very well. igor aleksandrovich our program is called the meaning of life for you. what is a sense of life? this is a difficult question. uh, but i'll try to answer very briefly, probably for each person. he is very close. this is family. this is work. so

, in my opinion, confucius is great, she said in relation to work. this is what you love to do, and you will never work a single day in your life. this is absolutely correct in this respect. yes, yes, and i don't not i i can’t say for sure the wonderful verses of fedose. here i like them very much, somehow , from childhood, a fuse. i am on this author, as many are. ah, good wife. this is so, which the husband admires and in old age you understand, that is, in other words. this is basically a family, and therefore the meaning of life is to, probably , somehow, uh, be with an interesting job and a good family, right? well, thank you very much. it was the meaning of igor karpov

's life there it impressed, of course, frost cold minsk so far. it seems to me like some kind of cozy city. it’s like he’s not in a hurry, that is , no, there’s no such fuss, then it wasn’t belarus that gave bread, fed me from that time on. yes, he gave me a job and most importantly, see the program view of belarus on our tv channel. in different corners of the country, on the places of traeda and feats, remember oh, wiaram and the hero skin step yong maya sens and yonno maya hook

great and small yans shackle the old truth from the old man and tell the memory of the common varta for scientists uncover special cultural techniques. we are known to have rebuffed that history and rebuffed the energy of that place in belarus

. good morning, the price regulation system adopted in the country at the end of last year gives
