Vladimir Zhirinovsky is in a stable condition, the Ministry of Health reported. Doctors continue to treat the 75-year-old LDPR leader for COVID-19. Doctors diagnosed the vaccinated politician several times with damage to more than half of the lungs and bilateral pneumonia. There is an opinion among doctors that after Zhirinovsky's recovery, a long post-covid syndrome awaits. The condition of the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia (LDPR) Vladimir Zhirinovsky is stable. This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, TASS reports.
Doctors continue to provide the policy with all the necessary and “possible” medical assistance in this situation. Mash reported that Zhirinovsky was diagnosed with 50-70% of his lungs; he was hospitalized with bilateral pneumonia. Called her "omicron" - a strain of coronavirus Sars-CoV-2.
On February 11, the leader of the Kurgan branch of the LDPR, Yuri Yarushin, said that Vladimir Zhirinovsky was on the mend, "working with documents" and transferring tasks to party members through assistants.
The politician ended up in the Central Clinical Hospital in Moscow on February 9th. The RBC publication reported that the 75-year-old leader of the Liberal Democratic Party was connected to a ventilator. “Everything is complicated by comorbidities,” sources said. However, Znak.com sources said that Vladimir Volfovich was not connected to the ventilator. Damage to the lungs in this case, according to their data, amounted to more than 75%.
“A nasal cannula was installed on him - this is a way to additionally supply oxygen from a cylinder, roughly speaking,” the source of the portal said.
In December 2021, Zhirinovsky said he had received eight vaccinations against the coronavirus. “Here I made eight injections and didn’t get sick, and if I had done four, then perhaps I would have been taken somewhere,” the politician said.
According to a number of data, Zhirinovsky fell ill two weeks ago, but COVID-19 passed in a mild form. The politician did not want to publicly talk about his illness so that opponents of vaccination, which the LDPR leader actively supports, would not find out about it.
Recall that WHO and the Ministry of Health call vaccination against COVID-19 not 100% protection against infection with coronavirus; however, vaccination will allow you to build immunity to effectively fight infection and make the disease easier.
After recovery, Vladimir Zhirinovsky may face post-COVID syndrome, says immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov. He told Lente.ru that a full recovery of an elderly patient is possible even with severe covid.
“Full recovery is already more difficult: you need to understand that an elderly person, most likely, was not particularly healthy even before the coronavirus. Zhirinovsky, for example, has diabetes mellitus, which can lead to cardiovascular pathologies, and, of course, obesity, age also play a role, ”the doctor said.
Postcovid syndrome can be long and pronounced. The development of strokes, thrombosis, arrhythmia and other cardiac diseases is likely. These dangerous and unpleasant consequences of COVID-19 can continue for 1-2 years.
