• Uphengululo lwe

Xa uzama ukutywina lonke ulwandle lokugqibela luxhomekeke, ukuzilolonga ngaphandle, kunye nesiselo esinqabileyo onokukwazi ukuphuma ehlotyeni, into yokugqibela ofuna ukuyicinga ngomkhuhlane. Kodwa ixesha lomkhuhlane linokubonakala ngathi lifikile ngaphambi kwexesha njengokufika kwespice spice-yonke into ngo-Agasti. Ukuba awuzilungiseleli ngokwasengqondweni ngoku, unokufuna ukuqalisa.

Uninzi lweminyaka, ixesha lomkhuhlane lihlala ukusuka ekwindla ukuya ekuqaleni kwentwasahlobo, kodwa linokuba lide okanye libe lifutshane. "Ixesha elichanekileyo kunye nobude bexesha lomkhuhlane liyahluka unyaka nonyaka, kodwa ixesha elininzi lomsebenzi womkhuhlane uqala ukwanda ngo-Okthobha kunye nokunyuka phakathi kukaDisemba noFebruwari," utshilo uNorman Moore, Ph.D., umlawuli wezifo ezosulelayo kwimicimbi yezenzululwazi. ka-Abbott. "Nangona kunjalo, iintsholongwane zomkhuhlane zinokuqhubeka nokujikeleza kwangoMeyi." Thetha malunga nentwasahlobo eyoyikisayo. (Inxulumene: Ngaba ungawufumana umkhuhlane kabini kwixesha elinye?)

Omnye wemiba ephambili echaphazela ubude bexesha lomkhuhlane elinikiweyo lixesha lohlobo oluphambili lwaloo nyaka okanye iintlobo zentsholongwane yomkhuhlane. "Ixesha lexesha lomkhuhlane linokuchaphazeleka zizinto ezinje ngokujikeleza kweentlobo ezahlukeneyo zentsholongwane ngamaxesha ahlukeneyo, ezenzekileyo kwisizini ka-2018-2019," ucacisa uMoore. Njengesikhumbuzo, kunyaka ophelileyo uxinzelelo lwe-H1N1 lwalawula ukusukela ngo-Okthobha ukuya phakathi kuFebruwari kwaye i-H3N2 inyuke ukusuka ngoFebruwari ukuya ngoMeyi, kukhokelela kwelona xesha lide lomkhuhlane kwirekhodi leminyaka eli-10 edlulileyo.

Kwaye kude kube lelona xesha lilungileyo lokudubula umkhuhlane okanye isitshizi seempumlo sokugonya umkhuhlane? Akukho xesha linje ngoku. Iingcali zicebisa ukuba ugonywe ngaphambi kokuba kuqale ixesha lonyaka. "Elona xesha lilungileyo lokugonywa sekupheleni kukaSeptemba," uDarria Long Gillespie, MD, ugqirha we-ER kunye nombhali Umama Hacks, sixelelwe kwangaphambili. Ukuba ufuna ukuya phambili komdlalo, isitofu sokugonya se-2019-2020 sele sikhona. Kungaziva kwangoko ukuthatha elo nyathelo, kodwa ukufa okunxulumene nomkhuhlane sele kuxeliwe eCalifornia.

Ke, ngelixa unokuxhomekeka ngoSeptemba okanye ngo-Okthobha njengelona xesha lilungileyo lokugonywa, ukuqala, ukuphela, kunye neencopho zonyaka onikwe umkhuhlane aziqikelelwa. Nanku ukuthemba ukuba ixesha lomkhuhlane lonyaka lifutshane kunelo lokugqibela.
