"Rapid tests to detect
Covid-19
, even if expensive and bought in pharmacies, are useless and harmful. Be careful, do not trust":
Rocco Siffredi
attributes the outbreak that now holds him and her hostage to two 'false negatives' his family at home
in Budapest
.
On the phone with
ANSA he
reports that he contracted the virus in
Rome
, most likely on Friday 16 October, at a dinner, and that he bought tests and medicines in Italy, just as a precaution, before returning to Hungary.
"We left Budapest 100% negative. We had done the molecular tests. I went to Rome with my wife (
Rosa Caracciolo
ed) for meetings related to the film about my life, a serial biopic in the writing phase that should be released in 2022 and for which we have identified the protagonist ", says the international porn star, confirming the news of the positivity to Covid anticipated by the Dagospia site.
"To avoid having to do the quarantine on return, as imposed in Hungary, complete with visits to the police house, we had a 'business' invitation made, thanks to which it is possible to move freely".
But, upon returning, something did not go the right way.
"My wife and I started to have flu symptoms and we stayed at home. Twice the tests bought in Italy gave negative results. After the second we calmed down and hugged our two children, Lorenzo aged 24 and Leonardo of 21 ".
The next day they too started feeling sick.
"Yesterday morning we also decided to do a molecular swab and at 6 pm they called us from the laboratory to let us know that we were all positive, even my big son's girlfriend, our maid and her husband.
We are all infected and with symptoms" .
Siffredi is unable to find peace above all for the elderly, that is the maid and her husband.
"I wouldn't forgive myself for hurting them, who are 70 and 75," he says.
The concern also concerns the family of the son's girlfriend, who is now awaiting the outcome of the swab.
"My wife and I - he says - were attentive. Our hotel in Rome was semi-empty but public transport was very crowded. On the last evening at the restaurant we were seated and spaced apart but we got distracted and let ourselves go to a few handshakes of too. There were some fellow actors, not from porn cinema. A person who was there then called us and communicated the positivity to Covid of one of them ".
Two days later, in Budapest "the first symptoms appeared with a little
fever
and a
cough
and my wife and I told our children to stay away, not to touch us," he says.
It felt like a slight flu
.
"We did a first test, from Rome they told us to repeat it, always with a drop of blood: negative. Above all my wife, however, continued to feel bad", he explains.
Siffredi is furious about the unconscious contagion like wildfire
: "It is very wrong to put do-it-yourself tests into circulation, a harmful business. You only have to do molecular tests. The other thing that's wrong is the means of transport. In Paris at the airport we found ourselves with thousands of people on us, "he says.
"The kids are better now while Rosa and I have lost our taste and still have symptoms."
Therapies continue at home.
"I hear Italian doctors on the phone and follow their instructions, I feel calmer", explains Rocco.
Covid risks causing Siffredi to blow up a job he cares a lot about.
"Just yesterday - he says - I should have sent a negative test to
Turkey
to shoot
8 commercials on sexual education
with the American pornstar
Lisa Ann
from November 16.
A very important message in a Muslim country. I hope I can do it".
In
Las Vegas
3 years ago "my wife was about to die from a bad flu. She was dehydrated, her mouth was sticky, she barely showed signs of life. This time - he concludes - I am convinced that it is a less serious illness, at least in ours case. I wouldn't want to be misunderstood by those who have lost loved ones. "
