1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Jum mission with join Z and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 2: It's nice to be back back at the old ranch,

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 2: the old Hassienda.

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: Well, like a lot of people, you and I had

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 1: our holiday plans disrupted. It's we've come back to work,

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 1: as I think many people have.

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 3: Come back to work.

8
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: When you leave to go on a holiday, you think

9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: I'll be so refreshed when I come back, But I

10
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: just think this is our third year, is it of COVID?

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: Our third year? And everyone I know is just exhausted.

12
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: So tell me about what happened with you.

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 3: Well, I got it.

14
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: I got COVID, and it was kind of curious because

15
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: all those times you get the negative PCR test, you

16
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: know you have to go and do something for whatever reason,

17
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: you go and get the test and it comes back negatively.

18
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 2: You just take that for granted. And then one day

19
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: we just come back from the Gold Coast. I think

20
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: that's where I got it from, at the Gold Coaster airport,

21
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: because we were waiting there for an inordinate amount of

22
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: time and I remember thinking, oh man, this is andty Veak's.

23
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: Territory up here, and did you have a mask on?

24
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah?

25
00:00:58,560 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: I had a mask on, but you know, and then

26
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: I went into a shop there and I bought some

27
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: board shorts, so you try to find out where you

28
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: got it from. Then, on Year's Day, when I thought

29
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: I had a bit of a hangover and I chose

30
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 2: not to go into the city, I was going to

31
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: go on New z Eve. I said to my wife,

32
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: I said, you.

33
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 3: Know what we should do.

34
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: We should go into the city because we don't have

35
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: little kids anymore, and we don't have grandkids and we

36
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: can just wander around.

37
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: You were planning that, and I said, you're insane.

38
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 2: Then I forgot about the whole pandemic, so I just

39
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 2: sat at home and watched it on the Telly. Next day,

40
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: I wake up thinking I had a few drinks last night,

41
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: but I really felt just hung over. The day after that,

42
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: I just felt very listless and tired.

43
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Could you have the sore throat and things?

44
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: No sore throat and they having a sense of smell

45
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: and taste, no headache, just a headache, but just really

46
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: felt lethargic.

47
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: And then got the rapid.

48
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: Andigen test when you could get them, took it and

49
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: then the two lines came up. So then I went

50
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: to get the PCR test, but that subsequently took four

51
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: days to get through. My wife didn't get it though,

52
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: and we were sharing a bed. You didn't isolate, no

53
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 2: before it. After the two stripes came up, then obviously

54
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: I isolated.

55
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 3: But I said, well, what does it matter. You're immune

56
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: to it. But I've had worse flus in my time,

57
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 3: but I'm glad.

58
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: I was at that point about to get my third vaccination,

59
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: the third shot, and then I don't know where I

60
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: go from here now with that.

61
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 3: I don't know. Some people are saying, well, if you

62
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: feel good, now, I go and get it.

63
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 2: And now other people are saying, we'll wait two months

64
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 2: because then you want to get the full.

65
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: Boost and you'll have some natural immunity for a little while.

66
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: You were lucky that you got. If you don't mind

67
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: me saying a relatively light case, merely, our executive producer

68
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: was just knocked sideways four weeks.

69
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: But you know, you don't know if I got to like,

70
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: I might have got a full strength one. I might

71
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 2: just have super power.

72
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but my point is that it affects people in

73
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: a different way, and.

74
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 3: It's not necessarily a light case. No, no, no, no.

75
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: What I mean is no, you're right, but you know,

76
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: for all the Barnaby.

77
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 3: Joyce the records just say maybe I have superpower you have?

78
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, okay, you're like Spider Man living under the

79
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: toilet seed in isolation.

80
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 3: Spider Man doesn't live under the toe he.

81
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: Should in the next installment. But I know a couple

82
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: of people who've really copped at heart so and some

83
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: people maybe still be getting delta. I don't know whether

84
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: omicron is is still a lighter variant, more transmissible as

85
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 1: we know, but not everyone gets hit the same way.

86
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: And I think you're relatively lucky.

87
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: Well. The other thing about this was it was almost

88
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 2: a relief when I got it, because at the first time,

89
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: when I got it, and as I said, when that

90
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: test came up positive, suddenly went oh, hang on a minute,

91
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: I've actually got this thing. And then you think, oh,

92
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: And at that point, after all the discussion about vaccination

93
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: and all that, I suddenly felt as happy as anything

94
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: that I was vaccinated because I thought I'm going to

95
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: be okay. I think I'm going to be okay, and

96
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: then my symptoms didn't get worse.

97
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: It's interesting, isn't it, Because for two years we've been

98
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: told to fear COVID rightly, so and so now we're

99
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: being told, hey, you know, just look after yourselves. So

100
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: when you see it come back positive, you're oh, my god.

101
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: You know, it was like whiplash for us to suddenly go, oh,

102
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to now look after myself. In other countries,

103
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: not only have people given rapid addigen tests through the mail,

104
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: there are medical kits how to look after yourself at home.

105
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: Here's an oxygen meter that you put on your finger,

106
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: here's some panetol. Here's a list of things you can

107
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: do to care for yourself. It's like we let the

108
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: this virus go before we were ready to deal with

109
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,919
Speaker 1: the implications. There still isn't a national campaign on what

110
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: to do if you have COVID. The rules are changing,

111
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: and I get it. There's this shifting sands of all

112
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the new research and what it means, and the workforce

113
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: out of action. But we we let it rip before

114
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: we were medically ready, I think. And Amanda's
