1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: Sam, Well, do you want some science information from doctor

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 2: Norman Swan hugely respected science journalists and scientists. Would I

4
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: would like some science information instead of misinformation that we're

5
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 2: getting a lot of on the internet from a lot

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 2: of people. He has a Corona cast. It's a podcast

7
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 2: where he gives updates constantly about what's going on with coronavirus,

8
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. Some of the interesting information is

9
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: that the government has revealed it's going to be testing

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: local wastewater as part of an ongoing monitoring and early

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 2: warning system. Often scientists test waterways to see the health

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: of an area. They're looking for how much fecal matter

13
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 2: will be in there. And also people who are infected

14
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: with coronavirus shared fragments of the virus with their Let's

15
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: say it feces, and this can be detected in the

16
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: wastewater in the job, isn't it gets to do that

17
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: one Well used to work in the sewers. Yes, but

18
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: I didn't collect fecal matter.

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: What did you do of cemented stuff? You did?

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: You see it?

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: It?

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: It breaks down, but you saw it? Of course I

23
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,639
Speaker 2: saw it. Of course I did, stopped me biting a nails.

24
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 2: It did, it did, But haven't they found also by

25
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: testing some of the wastewater and things in the sewer areas,

26
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 2: they can see where the big drug users are around Sydney,

27
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: round the East.

28
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Plenty of it all right.

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: So yes, the Health Minister has said that detecting outbreaks

30
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: and rapidly responding to them through sewerage testing will be

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 2: a big part of the government's future. This is interesting.

32
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 2: This is what doctor Norman Swan has said. People are

33
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 2: being urged to flush the toilet with the lid closed. First,

34
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: I've heard this because of toilet plume phenomenon, you know,

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 2: like out the front of the billagio in Vegas. That's

36
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: quite the ploy. The action of flushing a toilet causes

37
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: up to one hundred and forty five thousand air assold

38
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: droplets to be disturbed and thrown about the room. And

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: because it's suspended in the air for hours, closing the

40
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: toilet lead is particularly recommended in public toilets. I hadn't

41
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: even thought of that. No, now here's the big question.

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: He was asked a question about flatulence. He said that clothed,

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 2: you know, can we get coronavirus from the flatch. He

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 2: said clothing provided some protection from it, like a mask.

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: This is a quote, we wear a mask that covers

46
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: our farts all the time, referring to people's underpants and clothes.

47
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: So he said, if you're clothed, that's at least some

48
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: kind of dilution. But he rounded the entire conversation off.

49
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: With this policy on the part of the entire Australian

50
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: population should be that you don't fight close to other

51
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: people and that you don't fight with your bottom bear.

52
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: Okay, well there goes your blue Flame act.

53
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: The Christmas party.

54
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: Now that I'm going to work on my plume phenomena,

55
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 2: see informative, that's what we need. Degated. Karen's on the internet,

56
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: come

57
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,399
Speaker 1: To us, Yeah, Jonesy and Amanda morning as um
