Ifa le-COVID-19 Pandemic's Epidemics

Umthelela omubi wesifo esiwumshayabhuqe se-COVID-19 uyaqhubeka nokubhebhetheka emhlabeni wonke nasezweni lethu naphezu kokutholakala kwemithi yokugoma eminingana yalesi sihlava esesabekayo. Noma sesikwazi ukubona ukukhanya kwesaga ekugcineni komhubhe, sisekude nokuba siphume ehlathini (ukuxuba izingathekiso zami). Ngempela, ukuqagela kwakamuva okuvela esikhungweni se-epidemiological kusikisela ukuthi ngeke kuze kube ngesinye isikhathi ngo-2022 lapho sizovela khona esihlahleni esiwubhadane “esisha.”

Kepha, ngokudabukisayo, kungenzeka ukuthi okujwayelekile okusha kuzobandakanya ukubhekana nezinkinga eziningana ezengeziwe zezempilo njengomphumela wobhadane lwe-COVID-19. Lokhu ngeke nje kuphela kungeze izendlalelo ezintsha zokugula, ukuhlupheka, nosizi kwinani elivele likhulukazi labalimele bhubhane, kepha kuzophinde kwengeze nomonakalo omkhulu wezomnotho ubhadane osuwudalile.

Okunye ukuzamazama komhlaba okulandelayo kungafaka:

• Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile
• Umfutho wegazi ophezulu
• Isifo sikashukela
• Isifo senhliziyo
• Unhlangothi
• Ukudangala kwemitholampilo
• Ukukhathazeka okuphawulekayo
• Ukuphuza ngokweqile nezinye izinkinga zokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa

Isibonelo, abantu baseMelika abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-70 bathole isisindo esikhulu ngesikhathi sobhadane. Imininingwane yakamuva ye-anecdotal evela esikhungweni se-Yale University sokuhlinza nge-bariatric ikhombisa ukuthi abantu abaningi bathole amakhilogremu amahlanu, ayishumi, futhi afinyelela kuma-30 ngonyaka odlule. Ngakho-ke, ubhadane lokukhuluphala obelwenzeka e-United States iminyaka eminingi manje selufinyelele ezingeni eliphakeme — okuyindida engahle ibe yingozi njengoba ukukhuluphala kuyimbangela enkulu yokugula okukhulu kwe-COVID.

Kodwa-ke ukukhuluphala akuhlotshaniswa nokutheleleka okubi kakhulu kwe-COVID-19 nemiphumela emibi, kepha kunezinye izimo zezempilo ezibucayi kakhulu nezibizayo njengesifo sikashukela, umfutho wegazi ophakeme, isifo senhliziyo, i-apnea yokulala evimbelayo, kanye neminye imidlavuza. Ukwenza izinto zibe zimbi kakhulu, ngenxa yokwesaba kwabantu abaningi ukutheleleka, bahlehlise izivivinyo nezinqubo eziningi ezijwayelekile, ngaleyo ndlela kubhebhethekise izinkinga eziningi zezempilo esezivele zanda.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ubhadane luye lwaholela enanini elikhulu labantu baseMelika abaphethwe ukukhathazeka okukhulu nokudangala komtholampilo. Eqinisweni, ucwaningo lwamuva ku Imvelo ikhombise ukuthi inani labantu abadala base-U.S. ababika izimpawu ezibalulekile zokukhathazeka noma zokucindezeleka lisuswe kusuka kumaphesenti ayi-11 ngoJuni 2019 kuya kumaphesenti angama-42 ngoDisemba 2020.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, izehlakalo zokusebenzisa kabi utshwala nezinye izinkinga zokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa, akumangazi, nazo zikhula kakhulu. Lokhu kuzobhebhethekisa imililo yalezi zinkinga esezishiwo ngenhla, esezivele ziyanda, ezempilo nezengqondo.

Lokhu kungaphezu kokuziphatha "kokubhekana" nobungozi obulimaza ngokulinganayo abantu ababuyela kubo njengokudlala ividyo "umlutha" (ikakhulukazi ezinganeni) nokunye ukuziphatha okuphoqelela njengokugembula.

Okubuhlungu kakhulu ukuthi sizobhekana nemiphumela emibi kakhulu njengoba umthelela walolu bhubhane uqhubeka nokudlanga ezweni lonke kuqhubeka nokucindezela kakhulu uhlelo lwethu lwezokunakekelwa kwezempilo olumatasa kakhulu kanye nomnotho osuvele ukhubazekile.

Kepha izindaba ezinhle ukuthi sisekhona isikhathi sokulungisa izifundo nokubalekela kulezi zinkinga eziqinisayo zezempilo kanye nezindleko zezomnotho.

Njengoba ngivame ukutshela iziguli zami, "Ukuqwashisa imvamisa kuyisinyathelo sokuqala sendlela yokwenza ushintsho noma ukuxazulula inkinga." Ngoba ngaphandle kokuqaphela ukuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle, umuntu angazithatha kanjani izinyathelo zokulungisa?

Kepha yize ukuqwashisa kungadingeka, akukude ngokwanele. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abantu kumele bavume ukuthi inkinga abayibona manje iyinkinga kunokuba bacashe kuyo ngemuva kweveli lokuphika. Futhi-ke bazodinga ukubiza inkuthazo yokuthatha isenzo esithile esidingekayo ukuze baphume ngaphansi kwenkinga. Ngemuva kwalokho, ekugcineni, badinga ukuthola i-repertoire yamasu wokulwa nokubekeka enempilo nokuguquguquka ukuze balondoloze inqubekela phambili yabo futhi bahlale kude phambi kwenkinga ngangokunokwenzeka.

Ekushayweni okubanzi okubanzi, amakhono asebenzela abantu kahle kakhulu ngezikhathi zobunzima, ukucindezeleka, noma ukumane nje ubhekane nezinselelo zokuphila kwansuku zonke yilezi:

1. Ukufunda ukubekezelela usizi ngoba kuyingxenye yokuphila engenakugwemeka futhi ejwayelekile.
2. Ukufunda ukulawula nokuphatha ukusabela okungokomzwelo nezimpendulo.
3. Enye insika esekela isisekelo sempilo engokomzwelo neyezokwelapha ukusebenza kahle kwabantu noma ukuqiniseka ngokuzimela.
4. Okokugcina, ukuhlakulela “isikhala somqondo esinengqondo” kuyinto enhle ongasebenzela kuyo. Ngamazwi alula, ukucabanga kukhona, ukuhlala ngokugcwele ngomzuzu ngangokunokwenzeka, nokuzwa imicabango, imizwelo, nokuzwa ngokomzimba ngaphandle kokwahlulela, ukubhala amalebula noma ukuwahlola.

Uma umuntu engasebenzela ukuthuthukisa lawa mathuluzi anamandla angokwengqondo nawokuziphatha, azokwazi ukunciphisa imiphumela yomqedazwe omkhulu wangemva kokuzamazama komhlaba kwango-2020 empilweni yabo yangasese.

Ngeminye imininingwane mayelana namakhono abaluleke kakhulu, sicela ubuyekeze okunye engikuthumele ngaphambilini. Futhi unake ezinye zesikhathi esizayo ezizohlola lezi zindlela ezibalulekile zokuziphatha ngaphansi kokuphakanyiswa okuphezulu.

Okwamanje, uma ulwa nezinkinga njengokudla kwengcindezi nokuzuza kwesisindo, ukuphuza ngokweqile noma ukusebenzisa izidakamizwa, ukudana kwengqondo noma ukukhathazeka, sicela uxhumane nabahlinzeki bakho bezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Khumbula: Cabanga kahle, Yenza kahle, Zizwe uphilile, Uphile!
