Ilifa le-COVID-19 loBhubhane

Impembelelo etshabalalisayo yobhubhane we-COVID-19 iyaqhubeka ukubuyela kwilizwe liphela nakwilizwe lethu ngaphandle kokufumaneka kwezitofu zokugonya kwesi sibetho soyikekayo. Njengokuba ngoku sinokubona ukukhanya kwezaga ekupheleni kwetonela, sisekude ekubeni siphume ehlathini (ukudibanisa izikweko zam). Ewe, uqikelelo lwamva nje oluvela kwiziko lokusasazeka kwezifo lubonisa ukuba ayizukubakho de kube lixesha ngo-2022 xa siza kuvela kubhubhane "omtsha oqhelekileyo."

Kodwa, ngelishwa, kunokwenzeka ukuba imeko yesiqhelo entsha iya kubandakanya ukujongana neengxaki zempilo zesizwe ezongezelelweyo ngenxa yesifo se-COVID-19. Ayizukuphela kongeza izinto ezintsha zokugula, ukubandezeleka, kunye nosizi kwinani esele liphawulekile labonzakeleyo, kodwa iyakongeza kumonakalo wezoqoqosho osele uwenzile.

Eminye yeenyikima zomhlaba emva kwazo zinokubandakanya:

• Ukutyeba kakhulu
• Uxinzelelo lwegazi
• Seswekile
• Isifo sentliziyo
• Ukubetha
• Uxinzelelo lwezonyango
• Uxinzelelo olubalulekileyo
• Ukusetyenziswa gwenxa kotywala kunye nezinye iziyobisi

Umzekelo, ngaphezulu kwezigidi ezingama-70 zaseMelika zifumene isixa esibalulekileyo sobunzima ngexesha lobhubhane. Ulwazi lwakutsha nje lwe-anecdotal oluvela kwiziko iYunivesithi yaseYale kwiziko lotyando lwe-bariatric lucebisa ukuba abantu abaninzi bafumene ezintlanu, ezili-10, kwaye nangangama-30 eepawundi kunyaka ophelileyo. Yiyo ke loo nto, ubhubhane wokutyeba obusenzeka e-United States iminyaka emininzi ngoku ufikelele kwinqanaba elitsha-into enokuba yindida ngenxa yokuba ukutyeba kungoyena nobangela wokugula kakhulu kwe-COVID.

Ukanti ukutyeba akunxulunyaniswa nosulelo olubi kakhulu lwe-COVID-19 kunye neziphumo ezibi, kodwa kunye nezinye iimeko ezinobuzaza nezineendleko ezinje ngesifo seswekile, uxinzelelo lwegazi, uhlaselo lwentliziyo, ukuvala i-apnea yokulala, kunye neminye imihlaza. Ukwenza izinto zibe mandundu, ngenxa yokoyika kwabantu abaninzi ukosuleleka, baye bazimisa ezinye iimviwo kunye neenkqubo zonyango, nto leyo enokuthi inyuse iingxaki ezininzi esele zikhona.

Ukongeza, ubhubhane lukhokelele kwinani elikhulu labantu baseMelika abanengxaki yoxinzelelo olukhulu kunye noxinzelelo lweklinikhi. Ngapha koko, uphononongo lwamva nje Indalo ibonakalise ukuba inani labantu abadala base-US baxela iimpawu ezibalulekileyo zoxinzelelo okanye zoxinzelelo olususwe kwiipesenti ze-11 ngoJuni 2019 ukuya kwiipesenti ezingama-42 ngoDisemba 2020.

Ngaphezu koko, izehlo zokusetyenziswa gwenxa kotywala kunye nokunye ukuphazamiseka kokusetyenziswa kweziyobisi, akumangalisi kukuba, nazo zikhula ngokumangalisayo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, oku kuyakwenza ukuba imililo yezi zinto sele zikhankanyiwe ngentla, sele inyuka, iingxaki zempilo nezengqondo.

Konke oku kungaphaya kokuziphatha ngendlela "eyonakalisayo" eyonakalisayo yokuba abantu babuyela umva kwimidlalo yevidiyo "iziyobisi" (ngakumbi phakathi kwabantwana) kunye nezinye izinto ezinyanzelekileyo njengokungcakaza.

Into ebuhlungu kukuba siza kujongana nemiphumo emibi kakhulu njengoko ubhubhane uqhubeka uthotywa kwilizwe liphela uqhubeka uxhalabisa inkqubo yezempilo kunye noqoqosho esele lukhubazekile.

Kodwa iindaba ezimnandi zisekhona ixesha lokulungisa ikhosi kunye nokubaleka kwezi ngxaki zempilo zibambekayo kunye neendleko zoqoqosho.

Njengoko ndihlala ndixelela izigulana zam, "Ukwazisa kuhlala linyathelo lokuqala kwindlela yokwenza utshintsho okanye ukusombulula ingxaki." Kuba ngaphandle kokuqonda ukuba kukho into engalunganga, umntu unokuthatha njani amanyathelo okulungisa?

Kodwa nangona ukuqonda kunokuba yimfuneko, kukude ngokwaneleyo. Ukongeza, abantu kufuneka bavume ukuba ingxaki abayaziyo ngoku yingxaki kunokuba bazimele kuyo emva kwesigqubuthelo sokungavumi. Kwaye emva koko kuya kufuneka babize inkuthazo yokuthatha inyathelo elithile elifunekayo ukuze baphume phantsi kwengxaki. Ke, ekugqibeleni, kufuneka bafumane ireferensi yezempilo esempilweni kunye neendlela zokulwa eziguqukayo zokugcina inkqubela phambili kunye nokugcina kude phambi kwengxaki kangangoko kunokwenzeka.

Kwimivumbo ebanzi yebrashi, izakhono ezisebenzela abantu kakuhle kakhulu ngamaxesha obunzima, uxinzelelo, okanye ngokulula ekujonganeni nemiceli mngeni yokuphila kwemihla ngemihla zezi:

1. Ukufunda ukunyamezela uxinzelelo kuba yinto engenakuphepheka kunye neqhelekileyo yokuphila.
2. Ukufunda ukulawula nokulawula iimpendulo kwiimvakalelo kunye neempendulo.
3. Enye intsika exhasa isiseko sempilo yezemvakalelo kunye neyonyango kukusebenza ngokukuko komntu okanye ukuzithemba okuthembekileyo.
4. Okokugqibela, ukuhlakulela "indawo yentloko engqondweni" yinto entle ekufuneka usebenze kuyo. Ngendlela elula, ingqondo ikhona, ihlala ngokuzeleyo ngomzuzu, kwaye ifumana iingcinga, iimvakalelo, kunye neemvakalelo zomzimba ngaphandle kokugweba, ukubhala iilebheli, okanye ukuzivavanya.

Ukuba umntu unokusebenza ekuphuhliseni ezi zixhobo zinamandla zengqondo kunye nokuziphatha, baya kuba nakho ukunciphisa umva wesifo esikhulu sika-2020 emva kwentshukumo yobomi babo.

Ngolwazi oluthe kratya malunga nezi zakhono zibaluleke kangaka, nceda uphonononge ezinye zezithuba zam zangaphambili. Kwaye gcina iliso lakho kwixesha elizayo eliza kuvavanya ezi ndlela zibalulekileyo zempilo zokuziphatha phantsi kophakamiso oluphezulu.

Okwangoku, ukuba ulwa neengxaki ezinje ngokutya koxinzelelo kunye nokuzuza ubunzima, utywala kakhulu okanye ukusebenzisa iziyobisi, uxinzelelo okanye unxunguphalo, nceda ufikelele kubaboneleli ngezempilo.

Khumbula: Cinga kakuhle, yenza kakuhle, uzive uphilile, Phila!
