1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jumb mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 2: Well, let's get to it. Yesterday we saw our daily

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: positive COVID cases surge to six hundred and thirty three.

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: The number may have shocked us, but we've been told

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: by our premiere the worst is still to come. To

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: drill down on this and where we're going. We've got

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: the premiere on the line. Good morning, gladys Bury Jiclin,

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: how are you well?

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: Thanks, Amanda, I Gladasky.

10
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 2: Can I ask you, glad to say say the definition

11
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: of insanity is that we do the same thing every

12
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 2: day and expect a different result. It feels a little

13
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: like that's what's happening here. People are calling for a

14
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: harsher lockdown, but you're saying, no, we'll stick to our guns.

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,320
Speaker 1: Oh. Look, we're always looking at opportunities to arrest the situation, Amanda.

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: If there's any advice I received, of course, will go harder.

17
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: And there's no doubt that the virus unfortunately keeps repeating

18
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: in the same parts of our communities, and we certainly

19
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: are looking at ways in which we can turn the corner.

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: But I also want to stress to everybody please come

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: forward and get vaccinated. Our vaccination rate are going up,

22
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 1: and it's so encouraging to see that happen because the

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: high vaccination rate it means we can look forward to

24
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: more freedom, but it also means we keep people out

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: of hospital. And whilst the case numbers are going up

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: and that's terrible, we are and we will see more hospitalization.

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: To this point in time, it certainly hasn't been the

28
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: hospitalization rate and the death rates certainly hasn't been what

29
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: we saw last year because more people are vaccinated and

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: that's a positive thing we should all look forward to.

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: Now you've said that the it's a small number of

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: people spreading the virus. Seventy percent of local transmission is

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: occurring in households. Are people not getting it or they

34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: don't care? What does your research tell you about why

35
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: it's still happening.

36
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: Well, it's a combination of things, a combination of specific

37
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: demographics in particular parts of our community. But also, unfortunately,

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: it just takes a small number of people to do

39
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: the wrong thing and not appreciate that they're risking not

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: just their own health, but the health of their closest ones,

41
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: their loved ones. And I keep saying to people, you

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about the rest of us. Just

43
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: worry about those closest to you. It's a deadly, horrible

44
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: disease and we want to avoid people for coming to it.

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: We want to avoid people ending up in hospital or

46
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: dying from it. And unfortunately it also hits the most vulnerable,

47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: and that's why it's important not only for everybody to

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: come forward and get vaccinated, but especially those over seventy.

49
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: We know that the mortality rate increases with age, increases

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 1: when you've got underlying health conditions. And whilst most people

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: getting the disease at the moment you are under forty, seventy

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: five percent of people who have COVID in the South

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: Wales at the moment are under forty years of age.

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: Can I ask you this, there's new cases, there's so

55
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: many cases in the community that are potentially infectious. We

56
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: hear how many people aren't in isolation with it? Did

57
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: they not know they have it?

58
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: Well, the challenge is, that's why we're saying to everybody

59
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: the moment you set foot outside your house matter, when

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: you're living in yourself, well you should assume you've got it.

61
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: The challenge with this still to strain is sometimes symptoms

62
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: don't show up until you're already infectious, so you might

63
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: be doing all the right things, feeling completely fine and

64
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: unknowingly spreading the disease. And that's what's insidious about this strain.

65
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: That's why we say to everybody, do not let your

66
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: guard down, do not leave horrors unless you absolutely have to,

67
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: because every time you set foot outside the door, you

68
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: need to assume you have the virus or anybody you're

69
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: coming into contact with us. And we know that households

70
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: and workplaces are the two places where people are transmitting

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: the disease, and in workplaces it's mainly amongst the workers.

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: It's not so much to customers, although we like to

73
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: alert people and make sure they know if they've had

74
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: close contact with somebody, But in the main it's workplaces.

75
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: And then when you go home some families, in some

76
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: parts of our community you have single people households, or

77
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: two or three people living in a household, and some

78
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: parts of our community you have ten or a dozen

79
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: people living in a househop. Yeah, and that also affects

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: the rate of infection because if you don't know you've

81
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: got the virus, you go home, you don't isolate in

82
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: a separate room, you give it to the rest of

83
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: your family, and then if one of your family members

84
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: works in an age care home or provides food services,

85
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: then they potentially infect others and that's how the virus

86
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: keeps spreading. And that's and we're looking at every opportunity

87
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: and how we can stop that. And we know that

88
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: if every single person oby the settings one hundred percent

89
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: of the time, we'd be okay. But in a real world, unfortunately,

90
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: that's not what happens, and we prove their strains of

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: the virus. We were able to get on top of

92
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: it because it wasn't as infectious.

93
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 3: And how far away are we glad as from the

94
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 3: speedy test kit?

95
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, major for essential work is how good?

96
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rapid emergine testing. We're actually piloting a lot

97
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: of those in your south well, so a lot of

98
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: businesses are tend to use it, a lot of you know,

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: in the future for schools and other places we're looking

100
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: to use it. So the kits are available and we're

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: in the process of testing them already, and we hope

102
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: to have that more widespread so that people know on

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: the spot whether they're like I mean, it's not as

104
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: accurate as the traditional form of testing, but it still

105
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: gives us good a good idea of who is infectious

106
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: and who isn't. But I also want people to look

107
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: forward to the end of October. I want to get

108
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: test seventy percent double dose, you know, mid November will

109
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: be two doses of eighty percent. And I've promised everybody

110
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: once we get to six million jabs that those who

111
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: are vaccinated will have the opportunity for more freedom, So

112
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, I want people to focus on that as well.

113
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: It's really important for us to keep the vaccination rate

114
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: up as much as we can to keep coming forward.

115
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: And from this week we're starting a huge blitz for

116
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: sixteen to thirty nine year olds living in those local

117
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: governors concerned. We got at an extra half million doses

118
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: from the come Wealth, which I'm very grateful for because

119
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: we didn't have enough doses prior to that to be

120
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: able to really push hard in those areas. And I'm

121
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: really grateful they arrived and now we're getting them in

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: jab you know, within two and a half weeks, the

123
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: estimate we'll be able to jab you know, more than

124
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: half a million sixteen to thirty nine year olds because Unfortunately,

125
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: they're the ones that are most active. They're the ones

126
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: that have to go out and work and the ones

127
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 1: that are coming back home to their family and giving

128
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: it to everybody. So they're the key workers that we're

129
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: really focusing on.

130
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 3: When you look at those stats, seventy seven of those

131
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: people in intensive care and the twenty five they're on ventilators,

132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: none of them were fully vaccinated. And that's for me,

133
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 3: the telling thing about vaccinations.

134
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 1: Are working absolutely, and that's what I'm saying to everybody.

135
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: Please check up on your loved ones and your friends.

136
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: If they're not vaccinated us some whine and courage them.

137
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: We do have more doses of vaccine now, so there's

138
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: enough supply for everybody. We've fixed up the booking system

139
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: so it's easy to get online, and we just ask

140
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: everybody to just consider the vaccination status because ironically, every

141
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: state in Australia is going to have to come to

142
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: terms with living with delter at some stage, and obviously

143
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: because of our circumstances, we're getting there more quickly than others.

144
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 1: But even when you get eighty percent double doses. According

145
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: to the report that all of usudden off on a

146
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: national cabinet. That's when you can start opening up and

147
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: moving more freely. But that does mean you're going to

148
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: get more cases. But if you treat the cases by

149
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: that stage, like the flu, you don't have to necessarily,

150
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: at that stage not yet count all the cases because

151
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: you count how many people are in hospital, because then

152
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: it becomes just like treating serious flu. I mean we

153
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: you know, tragically, ironically the last few years we haven't

154
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: because of all been hand sanitizing whatever. But ironically every year,

155
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: you know, between six and eight hundred people die in

156
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: your south West from the flu. And we don't normally

157
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: talk about how many people get the flu, but we

158
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: do talk about how many people die from the flu.

159
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: And in due course, not yet, but when we've got

160
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: eighty percent double vaccination, which is mid November, that's how

161
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 1: we'll be thinking about COVID and every other state is

162
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: going to have to come to terms of that because

163
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: it can't be locked up forever.

164
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: No, I think people really and we need that reward.

165
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: If you're doing the right thing, you need that reward.

166
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 3: And like, yeah, the Dan Andrews is doing his thing

167
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 3: in Victoria, and you know, I think what you're doing

168
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 3: is great I think we're just you know, but just

169
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 3: keep away from each other. That's and that's the hard thing.

170
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: And we're thing is we can't And even even those

171
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: states that have closed their borders and are waiting to

172
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: get the vaccination rates up, there will come a day

173
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: when they are going to have to open up because

174
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: we can't live like this in isolation for the rest

175
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: of the world and from each other forever. So that's

176
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: why the higher the vaccination rate when you start opening up,

177
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 1: the less people will get kicked and end up in hospital.

178
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: And that's the key thing, keeping people out of hospital and.

179
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: Keeping businesses afloat too, and all that the whole thing. Yeah,

180
