He even <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVCRCWD2TV/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said on Instagram</a> that those who wear masks to protect them from the infectious disease are clowns."We'll be wearing these muzzles for a long time, if only doctors wore them in hospitals before, then now they have dressed the entire world in them," Kharitonov said earlier this week."They don't just laugh but are laughing their heads off at us, we are clowns for them."It is not the first time Kharitonov has made a comment which goes against international health advice.The World Health Organization, for example, <a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public" target="_blank" rel="noopener">recommends regular hand-washing, social-distancing</a>, and says <a href="https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/when-and-how-to-use-masks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mask-wearing can help care-providers keep those they care for safe</a> from COVID-19.

"I wanted to try to get this coronavirus myself, to feel what it is like, what kind of virus it is."Unfortunately or fortunately, that did not happen.
