This will be short, and I apologize if it has already been posted.
The Czech Republic has stringent requirements — proof of vaccination or having had and recovered from Covid, to engage in public life.
A well known folk singer from the Czech Republic, Hana Horka, apparently wanted to be able to work, since she was barred from locations where she might perform. She decided to catch Covid so there would be fewer restrictions on her movement, her son, Jan Rek, explained.
Two members of her family, Rek and his father, both fully vaccinated, had caught Covid over the holidays. Ms. Horka deliberately exposed herself, believing that after recovering she would have “natural immunity” and be able to return to her normal life, including performing (where she would expose other people, but that apparently wasn’t important to her).
She became positive for Covid, and later posted on social media that she was recovering.
And died two days later.
Where have all the flowers gone indeed.
