1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning w S. Satham. Didn't

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 1: the weekend change? Oh, just everything escalated and the idea

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: that of social isolation has become real for many of us.

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: And it's not so that you don't get it, it's

5
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: so that we keep the curve of infection low. I

6
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: read this really interesting thing that said the most dangerous

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: coronavirus myth is that only old people will die when

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: this disease consumes every ICU bed anesetist ventilator available. The

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 1: twenty five year old in a car accident, the nineteen

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: year old with appendicitis will suffer. We're all in this together.

11
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: This person is saying hashtag stay home, and just from

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: a different perspective. Mary Lloyd, who is an ABC journalist.

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: She's married to Hugh Rimington Channel ten. She's going through

14
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: chemotherapy for breast cancer at the moment, and she wrote

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: such a beautiful thing about how we cannot afford to

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: be cavalier about this. She said many people have been

17
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: saying only one to four percent fatality rate, imploring others

18
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: to relax because quote most people will only get mild symptoms.

19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: And I must say I've been guilty of thinking that

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: this sense of superiority, that it'll affect the old, it'll

21
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: affect the infirm, but I might be okay, And she's

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: just saying we have to think about the potential four percenters,

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: one of whom is her. She said, She's in the

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: midst of chemotherapy. I'm seven weeks into my treatment. Every

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: time I receive a dose of the cancer killing stuff,

26
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: it knocks out part of my immune system. If I

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: contract COVID nineteen, I may not be among the group

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: who experience only mild symptoms. I am, by no means

29
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: the only one with this worry. So people who are older,

30
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: people with chronic asthma, people with compromised immune systems, have

31
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: a think. We all know people who are in that category.

32
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: She said, I'm feeling a little expendable. I'm feeling exposed.

33
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: She said. My best prediction protection right now is to

34
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: avoid coming into contact with the virus entirely, and my

35
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: best chance of that happening is it not spreading into

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: the community. For that to happen, us potential four percenters

37
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: are depending on hundreds of thousands of random strangers to

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: be vigilant, to take sensible precautions. Not because they're worried

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: that they might die of the disease, but because they

40
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: care enough about thousands of vulnerable people who would And

41
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: she said when people spread lithe messages about the vitality

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: rate or flippantly comment about how they could easily shake

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: off the disease, there's a risk that others will take

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: a similar careless approach. She says, I'm expecting to fully

45
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: recover from my underlying health condition, But if I contract

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: coronavirus at the height of the out break, can I

47
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: be sure in a contest between myself and another patient

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: that all hold the winning ticket. So instead of relying

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: on the health system to be adequately equipped if I

50
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: do succumb, I'm reliant on people. There you go. Isn't

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: that a very interesting perspective? That is great perspective. We're

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: all here to look out for each other. The less

53
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: infection rate, the more protected we all are. And think

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 1: about that when you go into the shopping center and

55
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: you're hoarding supplies, think about that sort of stuff as

56
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: absolutely do you actually need that stuff? Join the and
