I have listened to it.

It’s truly awful and terrifying to think that there are probably thousands of people who think like that.

No wonder the radio presenter cut her off in the end.

I listened to the clip. A woman phoned in to a radio programme and asked the radio presenter why he was worried about getting Covid19. He said "Because if I get it I'll give it to other people".
The woman's response was, "Well that's too bad."
Presenter was shocked. He asked the woman where she'd been over the weekend. She answered that she'd been shopping on the Saturday, for a walk along the seafront and a sit on a beach somewhere on the Sunday, and then called on a 78yo friend. Woman herself is 75.

Presenter really really really shocked and told woman she had been irresponsible to visit an old person, but the woman said her friend didn't mind at all.

Presenter then asked woman if she was willing to die for the freedom to come and go as she had done. She said yes cause she'd had her life.

Ahhh I wondered if it would work or not. Its a radio interview with an older lady. It's a little long to go into detail! Sorry. Will look later and see if I can find a transcript or something.

I can’t see it. Can you tell us what it is?

Not sure if this link will work if you don't have twitter but here goes. I can't think of any words to describe how I feel about this! Just listen.
