Virusologist Professor Radka Argirova is a hereditary doctor.< /p>

Can he cope with viruses in life?

"Viruses are the biggest challenge for me. They make me constantly read, study, be alert. I must always be in top shape. First, because you never know exactly when a virus will appear. Second, just when which superior will call to ask "what's up with the viruses?". This is very important, so for me they are a pleasure, a joy, a challenge and at the same time a difficulty that I constantly overcome," says the guest in the "Hot Hearts" column, BGNES specified.

Professor Argirova has worked for many years in the field of viruses. She is confident that a person can deal with the virus because they are smarter than him. For her, the virus is a small artificial intelligence.

"Do what he wants. It turns you into a virus making machine. So we should learn from him in that regard. One can deal with it by very sensibly seeing where the threats are coming from, absolutely eliminating them, because there is always a way to do it - be it a vaccine, be it disinfection, be it a type of behavior, it depends on what virus we are talking about."

"I really like to know the news. I really enjoy reading them, of whatever nature they are. I love to apply them and it always puts me, I don't know if it's a few, but what steps ahead of the rest. I am rarely surprised by an event. Usually I already know and am warned about it.

The Council of Ministers decided to propose for awarding Prof. Dr. Radka Argirova with the order “St. St. Cyril and Methodius“ - a necklace for her particularly significant merits for the development of medical science and the medical specialty "Virusology" in Bulgaria.

"I said, this is the biggest order - when I enter the subway and half the bench becomes, give me a seat, or on the flight."

They tell her to "have virology come here, sit down".
