Singer Stas Mikhailov showed his Instagram subscribers a positive test result for the presence of antibodies to coronavirus in the blood and suggested that Rospotrebnadzor check the test results, agreeing to donate plasma in order to help patients, writes "Gazeta.ru".
For the first time in more than two weeks, the Honored Artist of Russia Stas Mikhailov published a video message on his Instagram, in which he talked about bilateral pneumonia, as well as the results of his tests for coronavirus infection.
“For people who think that all this is nonsense, I want to say, as a person who has endured all this, do not think that it is so easy. Do not think that this is all nonsense. Even those who measured ten lives for themselves. Take care of the people who are near you. Think that each of us could potentially be a carrier, ”he said.

The singer also said that he passed tests four times to identify the fact of infection, but each time they gave a negative result.
“I will not touch on medical terms, talk about how to treat, because I'm not a doctor. I just want to warn people who might run into this any minute, any second. Having gone through everything myself, knowing all the symptoms and all the sensations that may be, I will say the following - with the slightest symptoms, immediately try to do a CT scan of the lungs. Especially the male part of our country, ”he added.
The artist emphasized that he meant computer tomography, and not an x-ray.
“A lung disease in this situation is terrible in that it develops rapidly. Everything that is said on TV is true. It is developing rapidly, it comes from nowhere. For some reason, some are sick, others are nearby - they are not sick. As soon as you feel a symptom, cough, or something else, consult your doctor right away. Call an ambulance, do not be afraid and do not self-medicate, I ask you, ”he turned to his subscribers.
Talking about his case, Mikhailov noted that at first he felt signs of bronchitis, which "must be sick every two years." However, after taking the course of drugs, the temperature remained high. The singer expressed gratitude to one of his friends, who made him immediately get a CT scan, as he was hospitalized immediately after the discovery of bilateral pneumonia.
He also suggested that, unlike other countries, Russia is “genetically prepared for cataclysms,” and said he was confident of a positive outcome for the epidemic if all Russians followed the call to isolate themselves.

“Do not think that this will pass, that only it will not concern us. When it comes to this, you have a real reappraisal of values, ”he said.
In his story, the singer also posted a video on how he does a coronavirus test at home. He demonstrated the result, according to which antibodies have already been developed in his blood. It is possible that Mikhailov had already had COVID-19. He turned to Rospotrebnadzor, expressing his willingness to donate plasma, if necessary.
Speaking about the need for self-isolation, he explained that in this way people help doctors, reducing the influx of patients.
“Thank God it's over. Many thanks to our doctors. Paradoxical as it sounds, thank God that I got sick here in this country. Because it was the most important chance of salvation, thanks to our doctors. These are people in white coats, they are now at the forefront. Now there is a war. The war between this little virus and people, ”he said.
Mikhailov himself called the disease "the result of our spiritual damage."
“Yes, yes, I say what I think. So it is, ”he added, looking at the camera.
The artist asked his subscribers for the remaining days of Lent to “review something in himself” and admitted that he himself “did a lot of wrong things”.
