“Everything is fine with me, I don’t cough, I feel very good, but I started to feel bad after when I’m now 70 or 80 correspondents from all the media constantly call and ask the names of those who are sick, what is their phone, which their hospital was hospitalized - all that I can’t know at all, ”he said.

According to Popov, there is no isolation on the ship.

“Of course, we communicate. Well, we communicate, for example, the 14th deck there, the tenth, go out - they give a certain schedule - for example, from 9:30 to 10:30. Well, if any of ours comes out, then their meeting. About 50 people are constantly crowding on the deck, ”the Russian added.

He noted that the audience had a “normal procedure”: “they put a stick in the oropharynx, anointed tonsils and the root of the tongue.”

“As they feed you, your entire editorial board would be here even for a day. You would be stunned. Well, when was breakfast for shrimp? Russians are all calm. Because the Americans cry there, moan ... The Russians don’t, everyone walks quietly ... Because we are such a nation, I'm sorry, I’ll still cry in front of the TV. I have a lot of work, I do my favorite thing, ”he said.

Popov emphasized that during the quarantine days he “walked up as much as he didn’t go in his hometown in a year”.

“I wrote a book here, I started the second one, I wrote a fairy tale ... And every day I’m at work, I’m constantly on the cutting edge, as they say,” the Russian said.

He noted that more flu should be feared, and the coronavirus “will pass”. Popov also called for always looking for various disasters to look for "the economy and economic roots."

Earlier, two Russians left the board of the cruise ship Diamond Princess, which is located at the Japanese port of Yokohama.
