The adult website, CamSoda, offered free porn to the 7,300 passengers who have been impacted by the coronavirus outbreak on the Diamond Princess and World Dream cruise ships, which are docked in Japan and outside Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, Russia’s coronavirus patients have been locked up in cages, according to a Russian quarantine ‘cage’ escapee.

The 32-year-old woman, Alla Ilyina, had been quarantined in St. Petersburg’s Botkinskaya clinic since she went for a check-up after visiting China’s Hainan seaside resort with a sore throat. 

She tested negative for the coronavirus three times, and decided to take matters into her own hands when doctors insisted she had to stay. 

“I drew up a map before and made a detailed plan. When evening came and the medical staff had let their guard down, I short-circuited the magnetic lock in my containment room and opened the door. I studied physics, which helped,” Ilyina explained.

“Our constitution guarantees freedom. I didn’t understand why I had to stay in a hospital cage,” she added.

In response to the incident, the president of the Axiom association of lawyers, Svetlana Savinova, said: “If there are no symptoms anymore, if the tests all come back negative, then doctors don’t have a legal right to keep a patient in quarantine, it is considered involuntary detention and abuse of office.”

Savinova also referred to Article 236 of Russia’s Criminal Code, which says that while Russians will be held accountable for violations of sanitary-epidemiological rules, they can only be charged if a transgression leads to mass disease, poisoning or death. In St. Petersburg, not a single case of the coronavirus has yet been identified. 

On the other hand, doctors in favor of the stern quarantine policies argue that these strict rules are exactly what is keeping the number of Russians infected at zero. 

“Her escape is shocking. This is a poorly thought out impulsive act that could have grave consequences,” infectious disease specialist, Vladislav Zhemchugov, said in a statement.

Ilyina wasn’t the first patient to have escaped quarantine in Russia.

Last week, local media reported that a 34-year-old mother fled a hospital with her son in the southern city of Samara.
