Ngaba iCoronavirus isasazeka ngezihlangu?

Umxholo

• Ungakhathazeka kangakanani malunga nokuba i-coronavirus ihamba ngezihlangu zakho?
• Uphengululo lwe

Iindlela zakho zokuthintela i-coronavirus mhlawumbi ziyindalo yesibini okwangoku: hlamba izandla zakho rhoqo, coca indawo yakho yobuqu (kubandakanya ukutya kwakho kunye nokuthatha), ziqhelanise nokuhamba kude ekuhlaleni. Kodwa ukuba ukhe uzibuze ukuba ingaba i-coronavirus ingahamba ngezihlangu zakho-kwaye, ukuba inakho, ingaba oko kuthetha ukuba izihlangu endlwini zininzi kakhulu hayi-isifundo esitsha sinokukhanyisa.

Ukuhlaziya: Njengangoku, iephambili (funda: ayisiyiyo yodwa) iindlela zokudluliselwa kwe-coronavirus kuthiwa ngamathontsi okuphefumla ahamba ngokukhohlela kunye nokuthimla nokujongana ngqo nomntu onentsholongwane (nokuba abafumani mpawu ze-coronavirus). Intsholongwane inokuphila kwindawo ethile, nangona kukho iingxelo eziphikisanayo malunga nokuba intsholongwane inokuphila ixesha elingakanani ngaphandle komzimba womntu kwaye ingaba olu hlobo losulelo lwe-coronavirus luqhelekile na.

Ukufumana ngakumbi, abaphandi e-Wuhan, e-China bavavanye iisampulu zomoya kunye nomphezulu womoya kwigumbi labagula kakhulu (ICU) kunye newadi ye-COVID-19 ngokubanzi kwiSibhedlele saseHuoshenshan. Phakathi kukaFebruwari 19 kunye no-Matshi 2, abaphandi baqokelela iisampulu zomphezulu wezinto kwizinto ezinokungcoliseka ezinje ngemigangatho, iimpuku zekhompyuter, iinkonkxa zenkunkuma, izibambo zokubopha esibhedlele, iimaski zobuso zabaguli, izixhobo zokhuselo zabasebenzi bezempilo (PPE), kunye nomoya wangaphakathi kunye iisampulu zokungenisa umoya. Mhlawumbi ngokungathandabuzekiyo, iziphumo, ezipapashwe kwiZiko loLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo (CDC), Izifo ezosulelayo ezisakhulayo, ibonise ukuba uninzi lwezi sampuli zavavanywa ukuba zine-COVID-19-kodwa imigangatho ibonakala iqhelekile, kwindawo ebingalindelekanga.

Ukuyichitha ngokuqhubekekayo, iipesenti ezingama-70 zeesampulu zomgangatho ezithathwe kwisibhedlele i-ICU kuvavanyelwe i-COVID-19, xa kuthelekiswa neepesenti ezili-15 zeesampulu zomgangatho wewadi ze-COVID-19, ngokweziphumo zophando. Abaphengululi babhala kwiphepha labo ukuba oku kungenzeka ngenxa "yomxhuzulane kunye nokuhamba komoya" okubangele ukuba amathontsi wentsholongwane adade emhlabeni. Baye baqaphela ukuba inani eliphezulu leesampulu zomgangatho ezine-COVID-19 zinengqiqo kuba abasebenzi kuzo zombini iindawo bebenyanga abaguli abane-coronavirus.

Kwakhona, ayimangalisi into yokuba indawo ezichukunyiswayo ziqhelekile — singasathethi ke ngezisibhedlele — njengeempuku zekhompyuter, izibambo zebhedi zasesibhedlele, kunye neemaski zobuso zihlala zifunyaniswa ukuba ziyi-COVID-19-positive kwisifundo. Kodwa eyona nto yabamangalisa abaphandi yayikukuba 100 ekhulwini iisampulu zangaphambi komgangatho osuka kwikhemesti yesibhedlele — apho bekungekho zigulana konke konke, ngokophando-kuvavanyiwe ukuba kune-COVID-19. Okuthetha ukuthi, kusenokwenzeka ukuba intsholongwane "ilandelele wonke umgangatho" wesakhiwo sesibhedlele, okanye ubuncinci naphi na apho abasebenzi basesibhedlele abanyanga abaguli abane-COVID-19 babehamba (becinga ukuba abasebenzi banxiba izihlangu ezifanayo lonke ixesha), abaphandi babhala isifundo sabo. "Ngapha koko, isiqingatha seesampulu ezisuka kumngxunya wezihlangu zabasebenzi bezonyango e-ICU kuvavanywe ukuba nako," babhala ababhali bophando. "Ke ngoko, ukuhla kweenyawo zezihlangu zabasebenzi bezonyango kunokusebenza njengabathwali." Ngokusekwe kwezi zinto zifunyanisiweyo, abaphandi bacebisa ukuba abantu babulale iintsholongwane kwangaphambi kokuba baphume kwiindawo ezinabantu abane-COVID-19.

Umphezulu osecaleni, iipesenti ezingama-35 zeesampulu zomoya zangaphakathi ze-ICU kunye neepesenti ezingama-67 zeesampulu zomoya ze-ICU ezivavanywe zine-COVID-19, ngokweziphumo zophononongo. Iisampulu ezithathwe kwiwadi ngokubanzi ye-COVID-19 zibonakala zinamathuba okuvavanya ukuba unayo, ngeepesenti ezili-12.5 zeesampulu zomoya kunye neepesenti eziyi-8.3 zomoya obonisa umoya wentsholongwane. "Ezi ziphumo ziqinisekisa ukuba i-SARS-CoV-2 [intsholongwane ebangela i-COVID-19] ukubonakaliswa kwe-erosol kubeka umngcipheko," lifunda njalo iphepha. Kodwa i-FTR: Ngokubanzi, iingcali azibonakali ngathi ziyavumelana nje Njani Ukuhanjiswa ngentsholongwane komoya ngentsholongwane kuyingozi, ngakumbi xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iindlela ezisekwe kubungqina zokudluliselwa kwe-coronavirus. Okwangoku, uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) uthi abukho ubungqina obaneleyo bokuqinisekisa ukuba i-COVID-19 iyabhabha.

Ungakhathazeka kangakanani malunga nokuba i-coronavirus ihamba ngezihlangu zakho?

Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukuphindaphinda ukuba olu phononongo lutsha lwenziwe kwisibhedlele esinyanga inani eliphezulu lezigulana ezine-COVID-19. "Izibhedlele, ngakumbi ii-ICUs, zinoxinzelelo oluphezulu lwentsholongwane xa kuthelekiswa nezinye iindawo, ngoko ayilulo unxibelelwano oluchanekileyo kwihlabathi langaphandle," utshilo uPurvi Parikh, MD, ugqirha wabantwana, ugqirha wezifo zamajoni kunye nelungu kooGqirha boKhuseleko lweZigulane. Iziphumo zophando. (Idibeneyo: Yintoni i-ER Doc efuna ukuba uyazi ngokuya kwisibhedlele seCoronavirus RN)

Oko kwathiwa, uphononongo lubonisa ukuba intsholongwane inokuthi isasazeke ngokulula kangakanani, singasathethi ke ukuba ingakanani ingcaciso entsha efundwa ngabaphandi yinke imihla malunga ne-coronavirus-yiyo loo nto ukuthatha amanyathelo okhuseleko ukuze ukhuseleke (ewe, njengokunganxibi izihlangu endlwini) ayingombono umbi, ucacisa uGqr. Parikh.

Kwaye, uphando malunga nokuhanjiswa kwezinye iintlobo zecoronaviruses lubonisa ukuba ezi zifo zingaphila kwiindawo ezininzi-kubandakanya ikhadibhodi, iplastiki, kunye nentsimbi, phakathi kwezinye izinto — naphi na phakathi kweentsuku ezimbini ukuya kwezisithoba, utshilo uMary E. Schmidt, MD, MPH , ingcali yesifo esosulelayo eqinisekisiweyo. Ngokusekwe kolu phando, "kukho ithuba lokuba i-coronavirus [inoveli] inokuhlala okanye izihlangu" (ingakumbi iisoli zezihlangu, uyaphawula) iiyure okanye iintsuku ngexesha; Kuselithuba kakhulu ukuba wazi ngokuqinisekileyo, uyacacisa.

Kodwa ukusukela ngoku, amathuba okurhuqa i-COVID-19 ungene ekhayeni lakho usuka kwiivenkile zokutya okanye kwizitalato zangaphandle kunye neepavumente zisezantsi, utshilo uGqirha Schmidt. Okwangoku, ukuba ufuna ukuphambuka kwicala elikhuselekileyo, ucebisa ukuba unganxibi izihlangu ekhaya kwaye uthathe la manyathelo alandelayo:

• Lumka ngelixa ususa izihlangu zakho. Ukuba uyakwazi ngokwasemzimbeni ukwenza njalo, zama ukungazichukumisi izihlangu zakho xa uzikhulula, ucebisa uGqirha Schmidt. "Ufanele ukungcolisa izandla zakho okanye impahla xa uzichukumisa okanye uzama ukuzisula," uyachaza. Ewe kunjalo, kwiimeko ezininzi kulula ukutsho kunokuba ukwenzile-ke, nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, qiniseka ukuba uzihlamba kwangoko izandla zakho emva kokutyibilika kwezihlangu ezinyaweni zakho, uyongeza.
• Coca izihlangu zakho rhoqo. Ukucoca izihlangu zakho, tshiza phezulu nasezantsi ngemveliso yokucoca i-coronavirus evunyiweyo yi-CDC, vumela isibulali-zintsholongwane sihlale malunga nomzuzu, emva koko wosule kwaye uhlambe izandla zakho kwangoko, utshilo uGqirha Schmidt. Kwizihlangu ezinokungena kumatshini wokuhlamba iimpahla, zihlambe rhoqo usebenzisa ubushushu obuphezulu, obunokunceda ukubulala umkhondo wecoronavirus, utshilo.

• Ukutyumba izihlangu zangaphakathi nangaphandle. Okanye, kwakhona, cinga ngokunganxibi zihlangu kwaphela endlwini. Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, uGqirha Schmidt ucebisa ukuba unamathele kwizihlangu ezibini kuphela okanye ezibini ngokubanzi. "Beka izihlangu ephepheni kwaye ukhumbule ukucoca umgangatho phantsi kwezihlangu njengoko kufuneka," uyongeza.

Ulwazi kweli bali luchanekile ngexesha lokushicilelwa. Njengoko uhlaziyo malunga ne-coronavirus i-COVID-19 iqhubeka nokuvela, kunokwenzeka ukuba ulwazi kunye neengcebiso kweli bali zitshintshile okoko kwapapashwa okokuqala. Siyakukhuthaza ukuba ujonge rhoqo ngezixhobo ezinjenge-CDC, i-WHO, kunye nesebe lezempilo likarhulumente kwindawo yakho yokufumana olona lwazi lwanamhlanje kunye neengcebiso.
