Okwangoku, kunzima ukuba ungaziva kwinqanaba lokutshatyalaliswa kwinani lamabali ahambelana ne-coronavirus aqhubeka nokwenza iintloko. Ukuba uqhubeka nokusasazeka kwawo e-U.S, uyazi ukuba iimeko zale noveli coronavirus, aka COVID-19, ziqinisekisiwe ngokusemthethweni kuwo onke ama-50 amazwe. Kwaye njengopapasho, ubuncinci i-75 ye-coronavirus ukufa kuye kwaxelwa e-US, ngokwe-Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Unoko engqondweni, usenokuzibuza malunga nenqanaba lokufa kwe-coronavirus kunye nokuba iyingozi kangakanani intsholongwane.

Enye indlela elula yokufumanisa ukuba bangaphi abantu abasweleke kwi-coronavirus (ngaphandle kokuhla emngxunyeni womvundla ngalo lonke ixesha usenza uphando) kukujonga imeko ze-World Health Organisation (WHO). Ingxelo yakutshanje, eposwe ngo-Matshi 16, ithi i-COVID-19 ibulale abantu abangama-3,218 e-China kunye ne-3,388 yabantu ngaphandle kwe China ukuza kuthi ga ngoku. Ukuthathela ingqalelo i-WHO ichaze i-167,515 yehlabathi lilonke lamatyala aqinisekisiweyo e-coronavirus, oko kuthetha ukuba uninzi lwabantu abane-COVID-19 ababhubhanga kuyo. Ngokukodwa, oku kuthetha ukuba ukusweleka kwe-coronavirus kwenza ngaphezulu kweepesenti ezintathu zamatyala eqinisekisiweyo. Intsholongwane ibonakala iyabulala abantu abadala kunama-60 kunye / okanye abaneemeko zempilo ezingaphantsi, ngokweNgxelo ye-WHO kaMatshi 16.

Ukuba uwazi kakuhle amazinga okufa, izinga lokufa kwe-coronavirus leepesenti ezintathu mhlawumbi livakala liphezulu, kuthathelwa ingqalelo izinga lokufa komkhuhlane e-US ngesiqhelo alidluli kwipesenti ezi-0.1. Nokuba umyinge wokufa komkhuhlane waseSpain ngo-1918 wawuyiipesenti ezi-2.5 kuphela, wabulala abantu abamalunga ne-500 yezigidi kwihlabathi liphela, kwaye ibisesona sifo sibi kakhulu kwimbali yakutshanje.

Gcina ukhumbula, nangona kunjalo, ukuba ayinguye wonke umntu osulelwe yi-COVID-19 okhe wangena esibhedlele, singasathethi ke ngokuvavanyelwa intsholongwane. Oku kuthetha ukuba, uqikelelo lwangoku lokusweleka kwe-coronavirus yeepesenti ezintathu inokunyuswa. Kwaye, nangona izinga lokubhubha kwe-coronavirus libonakala ngathi likwicala eliphezulu, inani lokufa lilonke lisezantsi xa lithelekiswa nenani labasindileyo kwi-coronavirus ngeli xesha, kunye nenani lokufa lilonke elibangelwa zezinye izifo eziqhelekileyo kunye Iintlobo ze-coronavirus. Ukuqala, ingaphantsi kakhulu kumakhulu amawaka okusweleka kwehlabathi okubangelwa ngumkhuhlane nyaka ngamnye. (Idibeneyo: Ngaba umntu ophilileyo angafa kuMkhuhlane?)

Ukuba i-COVID-19 yenqanaba lokufa ngu phezulu kangangeepesenti ezintathu, sonke esona sizathu sokuba wenze eyakho indima ukunceda ukuthintela ukusasazeka kwayo kwaye ugcine izinga lokusinda le-coronavirus liphezulu. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, akukabikho isitofu sokugonya esifumanekayo se-coronavirus, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba yonke into iphumile ezandleni zakho. Ngokusekwe koko kuqokelelwe yi-CDC malunga nokusasazwa kwe-coronavirus, i-arhente yezempilo icebisa ukuba uthathe amanyathelo okulumkisa: ukuhlamba izandla, ukuziqhelanisa noluntu, indawo yokubulala iintsholongwane, njl.

Ke, ukuba ixesha elibandayo kunye nomkhuhlane alinakuba phezulu kumdlalo wakho wezempilo, mayibe sisizathu sakho.

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.
