She wanted to have a password allowing her to travel, so she thought the easiest way would be to get covid. It did not work this way. It is a pity since the song is beautiful. crooksandliars.com/2022/01/czech-folk-singer-dies-after-intentionallyHana Horka, 57, got infected on purpose so she could get a recovery pass to access certain venues, her son said. Apparently, Horka and her group Asonance are all staunchly anti-vax, so when vaccination became required in the Czech Republic this became a problem. Rather than just getting vaccinated though, acquiring antibodies by contracting the virus occurred to her as a sensible solution. Turns out, it wasn't. Source: BBC A folk singer from the Czech Republic has died after deliberately catching Covid, her son has told the BBC. Hana Horka, 57, was unvaccinated and had posted on social media that she was recovering after testing positive, but died two days later. Her son, Jan Rek, said she got infected on purpose when he and his father had the virus, so she could get a recovery pass to access certain venues. The Czech Republic reported a record number of cases on Wednesday. Mr Rek and his father, who are both fully vaccinated, both caught Covid over Christmas. But he said his mother had decided not to stay away from them, preferring instead to expose herself to the virus. "She should have isolated for a week because we tested positive. But she was with us the whole time," he said. Proof of vaccination or recent infection from the virus is required in the Czech Republic to gain entry to many social and cultural venues, including cinemas, bars and cafes.

Jaga,
I am tired of all the resources and even sympathy for all of the stubborn people doing dumb things with Covid. The libertarian in me says it is time to let Darwin's Law run full force, and those who refuse to use the best methods of staying safe from Covid can face the consequences on their own. If you are vaccinated, you get the best care we can give. If you refuse vaccination you are on your own, and good luck, it is your choice and your consequences! You can pay your own hospital bills but will not be subsidized by the insurance system the rest of us pay into. That would be like us subsidizing people who drive drunk or burn down their own houses.
Of course there are exceptions and a few who cannot safely take the vaccine but they are very few. If you are unvaccinated and run around without a mask and general precautions to protect the general population, then you can accept the consequences of your own actions.
Why are singers or athletes looked upon as more valuable than common citizens? Perhaps we should adapt titles of nobility to fully recognize this superior level of human status.
No, I have had enough. If they make a deal with the devil, they can call on the devil to help them.

We as people live in world of choices, most are correct or take care of them selves through time and events. But then for as Ms. Hana Horka as shown in the reality of taking such as risk as she did, now pays the price of a faulty decision with her life.

Kai, Karl,
I agree with both of you. Seeing saga of Novak Djokovic, a tennis player was also sad but necessary lesson. Here in Idaho we have rapid increase of covid cases, today I have heard about 5 new among my friends and co-workers. Happily they were vaccinated, so it should not be very serious. Let's hope this plague would teach us something.
