1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the mornings. 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 2: I was looking at social media last night and I laughed. 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 2: Stephen King had posted that the coronavisors is nothing like 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: the Stand, his fictional book about the plague Captain Tripps 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: that takes away half the population and turns good versus 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 2: bad or bad versus good. Have you ever read the Stand? 7 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: No great book? Great book? Someone replied to that, what 8 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: would you know? Have you even read it? And I've 9 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: just realized that idiots are just in plague for corp 10 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 2: portion on social media. Curiously, I was reading an article 11 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: in the Telegraph today from Shatijh Kupor. He is the 12 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: dean of faculty at the Medicine Dentistry in Health Sciences, 13 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 2: and he's the assistant Vice chancellor at the University of Melbourne. 14 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 2: I'd like to see the thing on his desk. It 15 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,279 Speaker 2: must be massive triangle thing. But Shatiz just said in 16 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: April two thousand and nine, his article is swine flu 17 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: and coronavirus. What have we learned from Swinefluer remembers swine 18 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 2: flu in two thousand and nine. Yes, so in two 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: thousand and nine we had the first case of swine 20 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 2: flu and by June two thousand and nine had become 21 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 2: a formal World Health Organizational pandemic. 22 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: It's interesting because overnight they have the World Health Organization 23 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: has declared this a pandemic, so that swine flu was 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: also a pandemic. 25 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 2: Yes, in Australia alone, there were thirty seven thousand laboratory 26 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: confirmed cases and nearly two hundred deaths there in two 27 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 2: thousand and nine swine flu. More than six hundred patients 28 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 2: were being admitted to hospitals each week. Our healthcare care 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: system was stretched, but a coped and served the country 30 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 2: well and no one required extra toilet rolls. Isn't this 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: curious because you look at it. We're doing this radio 32 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 2: show in two thousand and nine and I don't even 33 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: I kind of remember really talking about swine flu. So 34 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: let's get some perspective in this. Back in two thousand 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: and nine, Instagram and most of the social media as 36 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 2: we know it didn't exist. 37 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: So we weren't seeing these terrifying images in our face. 38 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: So we're getting ill informed opinion out there, non informed opinion. 39 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 2: So listen to the good professor here. 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: Well, he's gone also on to say that we have 41 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: great medical practices in place. Wash your hands regularly, try 42 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: not to touch your face and your eyes. Sneeze and 43 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 1: cough into your elbow if you must seek medical help, 44 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: if you're ill or have been exposed to someone who 45 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: might be, wait for public health officials to give you 46 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: more information. He said, keep calm, Leave the loo rolls 47 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: on the shelf. 48 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: There it is Join the and Amanda in the morning.
