This is fantastic news for New South Wales 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: and restrictions are easing again.

I think anybody should have a birth have 11 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: public holaday on their birth told none of us have 12 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: been working any day. In that case it'd be great. 13 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,640 Speaker 3: Do you take your birthday off? 14 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,199 Speaker 1: No, I don't. I tend to. I'm a bit of 15 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: a worcoholic, but I do like to do something special, 16 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: so I hope you're doing something special tonight. 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: I am thank you going to dinner with my family, 18 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 2: so that'll be very nice. 19 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 3: You want me there? 20 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 2: Oh the invitation got lost in the mail again. I'm 21 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 2: speaking of family. My son's at Newcastle UNI and I 22 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 2: really feel from because I lived away from home to 23 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: go to Union. The best years of my life. He's 24 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: hoping to meet people. But you can't go to a 25 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: pub and stand up and have a glass of have 26 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: a beer. When can you have a drink in your 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: hand and stand up? 28 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: From March seventeen, so around three weeks time, you'll be 29 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: able to do that, which is great new because we're 30 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: obviously doing really well with no community transmission at this 31 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,400 Speaker 1: point in time. And in three weeks all of our 32 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 1: all of our frontline workers in quarantine and health would 33 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 1: have had the first of two doses of the vaccine, 34 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: which is really critical. And so as the weeks go on, 35 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: the risk to the community diminishes of widespread community transmission, 36 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,759 Speaker 1: and that's what we have to prevent against. And that's 37 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: why in three weeks time you will be able to 38 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,559 Speaker 1: stand up and have a drink, but you still should 39 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: so show social distance. You still need to make sure 40 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: you go and get tested if you have the mardess 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: of symptoms. We still need to be vigilant because COVID's 42 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: not going away. It's just how we deal with it 43 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: that will change moving forward. 44 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 3: Have you had the vaccine yet? 45 00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: I haven't, because at the moment the vaccine it's available 46 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: to everybody in New South Wales is going firstly to 47 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 1: our frontline workers, those who are exposed to the virus. 48 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: Every day, as you know, New South Wales welcomes three 49 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: thousand Aussies back home through Sydney Airport every single week 50 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: and there's doctors, nurses, health officials, police, baggage handlers, cleaners 51 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 1: that are literally working with people with COVID because every 52 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: time planeload comes into to Sydney Airport there's a risk 53 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: that people on that plane have COVID. In fact, yesterday 54 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: there were seven people who had COVID with flu into 55 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: Sydney Airport. So managing those people, making sure they're taken 56 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: care of but that they don't spread the disease is 57 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: our number one priority at the moment in the South 58 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 1: Wales in terms of managing the pandemic, so which is 59 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: protect those who are protecting us. That reduces the likelihood 60 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: of getting the virus into the community, which is what 61 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 1: we need to stop. And that's what happened in the 62 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: Northern Beaches just before Christmas when somehow from the quarantine 63 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: system it got into the community and that's why we 64 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: had that's those that costs to grow. So our job 65 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: now is to make sure we minimize the risk, the 66 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: chance of the disease getting out into the community, and 67 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: the vaccine is going to help. So the fires a 68 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: vaccine is what's available now, but I'll be getting a 69 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: job of the Astrosenica vaccine, which will be made available 70 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: we understand in March sometime. And that's because most of 71 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: the population of New South Wales, the astrasenic of vaccine 72 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: is the one they'll be offered. Because the fires of 73 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: vaccine needs to be refrigerated at a certain temperature and 74 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: in rural and remote communities and elsewhere, very difficult to 75 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: get the doses out. But the Astrodentica one will actually 76 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: be able to manufacture in Australia, so the first doses 77 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: will be important, but then after that we'll be able 78 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: to manufacture those in Australia. 79 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: Another are they both of equal efficacy? 80 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: They are, which is why, which is why I'm taking 81 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: the Assenica. So a lot of leaders have already taken 82 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: the fires of vaccine, and I feel that if I 83 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: take the Ascidentica, it'll show everybody that both are equals, 84 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: both are as good as each other, and the adentical 85 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: one is the one will have lots more supply of 86 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: into the future because it will be manufactured here in Australia. 87 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: That's great and how satisfying is efficacy to say. 88 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: It's great, nail to ask what it meant? 89 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, once you nail it. When you first get it 90 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 3: was like hydroclock hydroxychloroquine. Once you got it past the 91 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: keeper Bearygiclian even, but it's like saying your name, gladys Well, 92 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: it's always great to talk to you. Thank you for 93 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 3: calling in for Amanda's birthday. And we'll work on the 94 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 3: public holiday for Amanda's birthday maybe next year. 95 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: So what we can do, I forget to put in 96 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: my day when it's your birthday because that third of 97 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: April April that's coming up. 98 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: It works out. 99 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: Get a whole day to myself before we're talking about 100 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: enough time. 101 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: Fifteen.
