1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: This is jam nation with Jenda.

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 2: But I do have COVID this week, but you're feeling better.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: You're on the men.

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: I am. Today's my last day of isolation, but I

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 2: still feel a bit snotty and my throat is sore.

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 2: But I tested yesterday and I don't I'm not testing positive,

7
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: so I think I'm through my infectious period. Got an

8
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 2: email from Peter yesterday who said, if Amanda has been

9
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: fully vaccinated, why she got COVID. Let me answer this.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: I can't believe we're still having this conversation this far

11
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: into the pandemic, and this far into our vaccination program.

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 2: I'm very lucky to have minor symptoms. I know that

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: not everyone who gets COVID has minor symptoms. But I'm

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: not in hospital. I'm not chocking up our hospital system.

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: I'm not taking up a hospital bed and hospital resources.

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: And that was the whole point, so our health system

17
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't fail, it wouldn't collapse under the weight of our

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: collective illness. The vaccine has worked now, I'm sure would

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: agree with wearing a seat belt. You can still be

20
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: in a car accident if you wear a seat belt,

21
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: it's not going to prevent a car accident. But it

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 2: will lessen the impact on your body. And isn't that

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 2: the point.

24
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: That's the point.

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: That's so Hurrah for science. Hurrah for our ability to

26
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: fight this without us choking up our hospitals and wiping

27
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: out our hospital system. Yeah, I give thanks for science

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: every day.

29
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: I got a mate he was unvaccinated, and we both

30
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: got COVID at the same time at the start of

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: the year. And the difference was he was as crook

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: as a dog for a month, like bedridden for a month.

33
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: My covid lasted for four days, and I felt bad,

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: but I wasn't in bed for a month. It was

35
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: pretty much four days. And as you say, if you

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: wear a life jacket and a boat, it's not going

37
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: to stop you from getting wet. You're still going to

38
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: get wet, but you're not going to drown. And I

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: think that's the I don't know why we're having this

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: conversation still.

41
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: I know this is a conversation we had when the'vaccine

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: program rolled out. At the very beginning, we said, it's

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: not going to stop you getting it. That was the

44
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: point we were told, it's not going to stop you

45
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: getting it. It will lessen, hopefully the degree to which you

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 2: get it and save our hospital system along with your life. Possibly.

47
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I have grown a third arm out of my chest,

48
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: But you know what that is. That's handy. I can

49
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: pick up stuff.

50
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: Look at this, look at that. I thought you're just

51
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 2: reenacting that scene from Alien
