57-year-old Czech folk singer Hana Horka died last week after getting Covid... she was unvaccinated... and chose not to isolate from her husband and son when they contracted covid around Christmas.

 

Her son Jan Rek joins us to tell us how and why his mother chose to catch Covid, resulting in her sudden death.

 

We’ve spoken to people here in Australia about deliberately catching Covid – as you’ll hear from Jan, it’s not a good idea.  It can be fatal.  He calls it Russian roulette.
