• 0:06
  Hi, I'm Jay felon and you are listening to the slippery slope.
• 0:09
  So just a couple of days ago that I did an episode regarding
• 0:13
  monkey pox and the new declaration from the World
• 0:16
  Health Organization. And I believe I was talking
• 0:19
  about how I thought that would ramp up the rhetoric because
• 0:23
  they will want to bring in mandates eventually and I think
• 0:28
  we're starting to see This happen in Australia.
• 0:31
  I think what we're starting to see is the preparation just
• 0:35
  getting people ready, just giving them warnings, getting
• 0:39
  them ready? Hey.
• 0:40
  This is all happening there in the background, but soon, soon,
• 0:44
  it's going to be of even more significance.
• 0:47
  So everyone will be ready. No one will be surprised when we
• 0:49
  bring around mandates, when we bring in interventions into
• 0:54
  other people's lives, no one will be surprised because the
• 0:57
  government's warned us. This headline came through it.
• 1:00
  Is monkeypox declared disease of significance.
• 1:03
  So the country's chief medical officer has upgraded, the
• 1:07
  federal response to monkeypox in the wake of the World Health
• 1:11
  Organization listing the disease, as a global emergency.
• 1:15
  Monkeypox has now been declared a communicable disease incident
• 1:19
  of national significance. The Declaration means the
• 1:23
  response to Monkey pox will have National coordination in order
• 1:28
  to assist States. And territories, without breaks.
• 1:32
  The Declaration also means monkey pox will require National
• 1:37
  policies, interventions public messages or resources to assist
• 1:43
  affected areas. Isn't it good?
• 1:46
  Isn't it just wonderful when the government's telling you ahead
• 1:48
  of time that they plan their planning to intervene in the
• 1:52
  public life somehow. But they're already letting you
• 1:55
  know and they say well, you know, we're going to put these
• 1:58
  plans in place. Guarantee this is gonna happen.
• 2:02
  Anyway, it goes on to say that there have been 44 cases of
• 2:06
  monkeypox so far in Australia, mostly from from returning,
• 2:11
  International Travelers 44 cases in the country of 25 million and
• 2:17
  all these from the wall says, mostly from returning,
• 2:21
  International Travelers, and if you look into where these
• 2:24
  International Travelers have been, and what they've been
• 2:27
  doing when they're overseas, generally, they've all Been
• 2:30
  overseas to celebrate a way of life and they're involved in
• 2:35
  other activities, which is cause them to contract monkey box
• 2:41
  anyway. So the chief medical officer.
• 2:44
  Professor Paul Kelly. This is the professor, not the
• 2:47
  singer songwriter he said work was already underway to ensure a
• 2:52
  quick response to the disease and he says, although I've
• 2:56
  declared monkeypox to be a communicable disease Of national
• 3:00
  significance. It is far less, harmful than
• 3:03
  covid-19. He said, in the statement, there
• 3:07
  have been no deaths reported during the current outbreak
• 3:11
  outside of countries where the virus is endemic.
• 3:14
  And monkey pox is also not transmitted in the same way as
• 3:20
  covid-19 and is far less transmissible the national
• 3:25
  incident Center has been activated to help provide
• 3:28
  coordination. To deal with monkey pox.
• 3:31
  So, Professor Kelly said, most cases of monkeypox had been
• 3:36
  among people between 21 and 40 Years of old and among gay and
• 3:42
  bisexual men. So although monkey pox is not
• 3:46
  usually considered, it's not usually considered a sexually
• 3:51
  transmissible infection physical contact with an infected person
• 3:56
  during sexual intercourse carries a We can't risk of
• 4:01
  transmission. This is what the professor said
• 4:04
  and this is why so many of the cases are vast.
• 4:08
  Majority of the cases have come out of these areas where they
• 4:11
  have been celebrating a certain type of lifestyle.
• 4:15
  And with that celebration, they've been engaging in
• 4:19
  dangerous. Well, you know, not the most
• 4:23
  protected of sexual activities. Let's put it that way.
• 4:26
  So, intimate physical contact, T' such as hugging kissing and
• 4:31
  sexual activities represent a risk of infection with infection
• 4:36
  skin, sores being the likely mode of transmission.
• 4:40
  So rashes involved with monkeypox.
• 4:42
  Usually start on the face before spreading to other parts of the
• 4:45
  body, including the palms and hands and soles of feet other
• 4:49
  symptoms include fever, chills body aches, headaches, swollen,
• 4:54
  lymph, nodes and tiredness. So there you have it--people at
• 4:59
  I believe. Government is getting us ready
• 5:01
  and zoom in the very near future.
• 5:04
  I believe you'll see the government and the World Health
• 5:08
  Organization ramp up. Continue to ramp up the rhetoric
• 5:12
  for monkey pox and I think we're going to see mandates being
• 5:15
  brought in. They will raise the alert level
• 5:18
  for monkey pox and you're and you're going to see yet again.
• 5:23
  In my opinion, the government trying to intervene in our
• 5:27
  lives. It's very good at them.
• 5:29
  And still, they will still continue as we're seeing here in
• 5:33
  Australia. You go and watch the ABC News.
• 5:36
  There is constantly display down how, you know, it's, you know,
• 5:41
  we don't want to cause any harm or any alarm or any
• 5:45
  embarrassment to the to the gay and bisexual and the other
• 5:49
  community here, know the, the men who have sex with other men
• 5:52
  Community, which is now different from the gay and
• 5:55
  bisexual Community. We don't want to cause any alarm
• 5:58
  to that. Embarrassment to that Community.
• 6:02
  However, they're not talking about it enough and not to cause
• 6:06
  embarrassment about it, but maybe you need to discuss it a
• 6:10
  bit more and and have a serious conversation with how you can
• 6:14
  avoid getting the disease. Maybe there's a few.
• 6:19
  There's a few easy, easy precautions that you can take
• 6:24
  maybe if they would actually discuss those things instead of
• 6:28
  just trying to ramp up the rhetoric and start getting us
• 6:31
  all ready for another round of vaccinations.
• 6:35
  But hey boy. That's just my opinion.
• 6:39
  Thank you for listening to the slippery slope.
