On a live radio broadcast, two doctors, immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov and immunologist-pediatrician Andrei Prodeus, argued about
It was a comment on the words of the head of the departmentResearch Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology named after Gamaleya Alexander Butenko, who called for the introduction of “remote work” due to the threat of a new outbreak of COVID-19. According to Kryuchkov, the remote format is an effective measure, since it allows unloading vehicles and prevents people from gathering in enclosed spaces. But an important point: “remote work” must be observed in practice, and not imitated.
Kryuchkov also noted that measuring the temperature at school would not give the desired result - it would weed out acute cases, but the virus would continue to spread.
Temperature measurement will weed out the toughest onescases, but this will not prevent the spread of the virus. Restrictions must be introduced from September 1. I have great concerns about the second half of September; if there are no restrictions, then a powerful surge will begin. This season, no one knows what the daily numbers will be, but I think that we will reach 100 thousand cases. Not in September, of course, but in October or early November.

Pediatrician Andrei Produes did not agree with his colleague.In his opinion, "remote work" was not needed either before, and even more so now. Based on scientific research, it has been proven that the remote format does not help stop the spread of the coronavirus, especially the micron strain.
Everything is proven by scientific research,statistics that “remote work” does not help stop the spread of the virus, especially the “omicron” strain. The decision to work remotely will be more administrative than based on science.
