Shocks the Eleni Dimou in an in-depth interview from inside the hospital, where he is being treated with coronavirus. The famous singer spoke from her bed of pain, about the difficult moments she is going through and her battle with the disease.
«Psychologically I'm a mess. I'm not fighting it. This loneliness of Covid doesn't exist. It's all a bit careless. We pushed too hard to get J2US started. We ate 10, 12 and 16 hours a weekend. It was very, very tiring. From what I am told here, vaccinated people usually arrive at the hospital when they are too tired. We were careless, though. We didn't wear masks, it was crazy. I had taken an oxygen machine at home. I'm amazed at these pansies who say things and question doctors. I didn't want to end up in the hospital,» she said, visibly depressed.
Eleni Dimou, speaking on Happy Day added: «Is it possible to have unvaccinated people in a country?; You want to bring down governments. Don't do it that way. Don't risk our lives. The doctors have been telling me since the first week to go to the hospital. I didn't feel anything. I had a little fever, but I was on antipyretics. It was bringing me down. I woke up and felt a weight in my chest and I knew I had to go to the hospital. I just said if they give me intubation, I want to die at home.».
«It's got me down mentally. You're talking, thankfully, on the phone with a video call. I wear this mask all the time and it puts a lot of pressure on my face. They're yelling at me not to take it off or they'll have to intubate me. I keep wearing the mask. And in my sleep. I feel sorry for people who don't understand how serious this is. It's a goddamn shame. Do you gentlemen want to die unvaccinated? Go die. Without causing problems for others,» she added, and concluded by saying that when she gets over it, and is back on J2US, she will win the show with Marinos Consolos.
The singer had already made public, since October 1st, with a post on Facebook, her state of health, which she considered as not worrying.
«In the end, what I wanted to avoid, I can't avoid»
Unfortunately, things did not turn out as he would have liked, as he had to be admitted to hospital 3 days later, with obvious signs of deterioration. «In the end, what I wanted to avoid, I can't avoid. I'm about to leave for the hospital, I'm a mess,» he said in a related video.
«I got the vaccine, but I didn't get my life back»
In an earlier post on her personal profile on Facebook, the Eleni Dimou speaks «out loud» about the current situation in the field of culture, due to the pandemic. «Festivals are cancelled because they will be crowded. The region in Kiato does not do the concert in the birthplace of Yannis Spanos because there will be a crowd. In Epidaurus, where there were 20 thousand people and bravo, there they don't have an issue?; Shame on you, gentlemen and ladies. Shame on you!
We experienced this last year as well. At Herodion there was no pandemic, while at the other events the pandemic was swelling. I am one of those who have had both doses of the vaccine, but I didn't get my life back. And you are to blame with your bilingualism. Let me add one more thing. Theatre is food for the mind and singing is medicine for the soul. However, I smile and carry on».
