Nini, Ngokuchanekileyo, kufuneka Uzimele Wedwa Ukuba Ucinga Ukuba Unayo ICoronavirus?

Umxholo

• Okokuqala, ukuphindaphinda kuluhlu olubanzi lweempawu ze-COVID-19, kuba ibalulekile apha.
• Ke, kufuneka uzimele nini ukuba ucinga ukuba une-coronavirus?
• Ungashiya nini ukuzikhetha?

Ukuba awukabinaso isicwangciso endaweni sokuba wenze ntoni ukuba ucinga ukuba unayo i-coronavirus, ngoku lixesha lokuba ukhawuleze.

Iindaba ezimnandi zezokuba uninzi lwabantu olunosulelo lwe-coronavirus (i-COVID-19) lusuleleko kuphela olunobulali kwaye banakho ukuzikhetha bodwa kwaye baphinde babuyele ekhaya, ngokutsho kwamaZiko oLawulo lweZifo noKhuselo (CDC). I-arhente ikwabonelela ngokuthe ngqo ngendlela yokukhathalela umntu one-coronavirus kunye noluhlu lweemfuno ekufuneka zihlangatyezwe ngaphambi kokuba ushiye ukuzimela. (Isikhumbuzo: Abantu abangaxhomekekanga emzimbeni banokufumana iimeko ezinzima ze-COVID-19.)

Kodwa kukho ulwazi olubalulekileyo olungaphendulwanga, njengaxa, ngokuchanekileyo, kuya kufuneka ube wedwa kubantu abakwikhaya lakho (kwaye, uyazi, uluntu ngokubanzi) ukuba ucinga ukuba unayo i-coronavirus. Uvavanyo lwe-COVID-19 lusanqongophele kwiindawo ezininzi zase-US, kwaye kungathatha iintsuku ukufumana iziphumo zakho nokuba uyakwazi ukuvavanywa, itsho ingcali yezifo ezosulelayo u-Amesh A. Adalja, MD, isifundiswa esiphezulu eJohns Hopkins. Iziko loKhuseleko lwezeMpilo. Ke, ukuba uyalinda ukuze uqinisekise ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba unayo, eneneni, unayo i-COVID-19 ngaphambi kokuba uthathe amanyathelo afanelekileyo okhuseleko, unokuba usasaza intsholongwane kwabanye.

Kwihlabathi eligqibeleleyo, uya kuphila yonke iodolo yakho yokuhlala-ekhaya ubhaka isonka esonwabileyo kwaye ubambe umgca wakho weNetflix ngaphandle kokukhathazeka malunga nokuba ungaluphatha njani usulelo lwe-coronavirus. Kodwa enyanisweni, apho ngu umngcipheko wokufumana intsholongwane, nokuba wenze into encinci njengokuya kwivenkile okanye ukuphatha i-imeyile yakho-ngakumbi ukuba intsholongwane ijikeleza kakhulu kwindawo yakho. Ngoko ke, kubalulekile ukucinga ngale nto kwangaphambili. Apha ngezantsi, iingcali ziqhekeza xa (kwaye njani) ukuze uzihlukanise xa ucinga ukuba une-coronavirus.

Okokuqala, ukuphindaphinda kuluhlu olubanzi lweempawu ze-COVID-19, kuba ibalulekile apha.

Ngaphezulu kwayo yonke loo nto, kubalulekile ukugxininisa ukuba i-COVID-19 yintsholongwane entsha eyafunyanwa kuphela ngasekupheleni kuka-2019. "Sifunda ngakumbi ngayo yonke imihla, utshilo uGqirha Adalja.

Oko kwathiwa, ngeli nqanaba, unokucengceleza ezona mpawu ziphambili ze-coronavirus xa ulele: ukukhohlela owomileyo, umkhuhlane, ukuphefumla kancinci. Kodwa ayingabo bonke abantu abafumana iimpawu ezifanayo ze-COVID-19. Uphando olukhulayo lucebisa ukuba urhudo, isicaphucaphu, kunye nokugabha kunokuba yinto eqhelekileyo kubantu abane-coronavirus, kunye nokulahleka kwevumba kunye nencasa.

Umbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) unoluhlu olubanzi lweempawu ze-COVID-19 kune-CDC, kubandakanya:

• Ifiva
• Ukudinwa
• Ukhohlokhohlo olomileyo
• Iintlungu kunye neentlungu
• Ukuxinana kwempumlo
• Impumlo enemifinya
• Umqala obuhkungu
• Urhudo

Ngokubanzi, "iimpawu zihlala ziqala kancinci ngenxa yomkhuhlane, ukukhohlela owomileyo, okanye ukuphefumla kancinci ngosuku lokuqala," utshilo uSophia Tolliver, MD, ugqirha wamayeza osapho eOhio State University Wexner Medical Center.

Kodwa kwakhona, akusoloko kunjalo. "Kunokwenzeka ukuba ezinye iipateni [zeempawu] zixhaphake kakhulu kunezinye, kodwa akukho nanye iipesenti ezingama-100 ezingaguquguqukiyo," ucacisa uPrathit Kulkarni, MD, unjingalwazi oncedisayo wezifo ezosulelayo kwiKholeji yaseBaylor yezoNyango. "Nokuba kukho ipateni eqhelekileyo, inokwenzeka okanye ingenzeki nakwesiphi na isihlandlo esinye."

Ngokusisiseko, kukho iqela leempawu ezahlukeneyo onokuthi wehle nazo unako ukuba yi-COVID-19 okanye inokuba luphawu lwento eyenye ngokupheleleyo. (Jonga: Olona Phawu luQhelekileyo lweCoronavirus ukujonga, ngokweeNgcali)

Ke, kufuneka uzimele nini ukuba ucinga ukuba une-coronavirus?

Ukusuka kwimbono yezempilo yoluntu, eyona ndlela ikhuselekileyo kukuzenza ikheswa ngoko nangoko Ukuqaphela naziphi na iimpawu "ezintsha okanye ezahlukeneyo" xa kuthelekiswa nendlela oqhele ukuziva ngayo-kubandakanya ezi mpawu zikhankanywe ngasentla ezibonakala ziyimpawu eziqhelekileyo ze-COVID-19, utshilo uGqr. Kulkarni.

Cinga ngale ndlela: Ukuba uhlala uphuhlisa impumlo kunye nokukhohlela xa ixesha le-pollen libetha, mhlawumbi kukhuselekile ukucinga ukuba ukungabikho komzimba kukugxeka xa ukhula ezo mpawu ngelo xesha lonyaka, ucacisa uGqirha Kulkarni. Kodwa ukuba awunayo imbali ye-allergies kwaye ngequbuliso uvelise iimpawu ezifanayo, isenokuba lixesha lokuzihlukanisa-ingakumbi ukuba ezo mpawu zihlala, utshilo uGqr. Kulkarni. “Iimpawu kufuneka zibonakale zahlukile okanye ziphawuleke ngengqiqo yokuba khange ukhohlele kabini emva koko ukhohlokhohlo lwemka,” uyacacisa. "Kufuneka bazingise."

Ukuba ufumana umkhuhlane, kwelinye icala, uzimele wedwa ngoko nangoko, utsho uGqr. Adalja. "Kuya kufuneka ucinge ukuba une-coronavirus ngelo xesha," uyongeza.

Nje ukuba ube wedwa, uGqr. Tolliver ucebisa ukuba ufowunele ugqirha wakho ngokukhawuleza malunga namanyathelo alandelayo. Ugqirha wakho unokukunceda ukuvavanya umngcipheko wokuba ne-COVID-19 yeengxaki kwaye unqume ukuba ungazilawula na iimpawu zakho ekhaya, ucacisa uGqirha Tolliver. Banokukunceda uthathe isigqibo sokuba (kwaye kanjani) kufuneka uvavanywe. (Idibeneyo: Uvavanyo lwaseKhaya lweCoronavirus lusebenzayo)

Ngelixa iingcali zicebisa ukuba uzahlule wedwa nanini na xa uthandabuza malunga neempawu zakho, kuyaqondakala ukuba awufuni kuya kukwahlukaniswa ukukhaba. Ukuba uziva intle Qiniseka ukuba iimpawu zakho akunjalo I-COVID-19, cinga ngokuzikhwebula kubo bonke abendlu yakho kwaye ujonge iimpawu zakho ukubona ukuba ziyajika zibe yinto engaphaya kosuku okanye ezimbini, utshilo uDavid Cennimo, MD, unjingalwazi oncedisayo wezifo ezosulelayo eRutgers New Jersey Medical School. Ngeli xesha, uGqirha Cennimo ucebisa ngokwenza into ayibiza ngokuba "kukuphambuka ekhaya ekuhlaleni."

"Akunyanzelekanga ukuba uzivalele kwigumbi elinye, kodwa mhlawumbi ungahlali esofeni kunye [nabo bonke abendlu] xa ubukele iTV, utshilo. Uyakufuna kwakhona ukuqinisekisa ukuba uqhubeka uhlamba izandla zakho rhoqo, uvale umlomo wakho xa ukhohlela, kwaye ubulala iintsholongwane kwiindawo ezichukumisayo eziqhelekileyo (uyazi, zonke iindlela zokuthintela i-coronavirus osele uzazi). Kwaye, kwakhona, biza ugqirha wakho ngokukhawuleza kwaye uhlale unxibelelana nabo rhoqo.

Gcina ukhumbula: Abanye abantu abane-COVID-19 baneempawu "eziphazamisayo", okuthetha ukuba iimpawu ziyeza kwaye zihamba, uphawula uGqr. Adalja. Ke, ukunikela ingqalelo kwindlela ezitshintsha ngayo imihla ngemihla kubaluleke ngakumbi. "Sukucinga ukuba ulungile kwakamsinya nje ukuba uziva ulungile, utshilo. (Nalu ulwahlulo oluneenkcukacha ngakumbi Njani ukuzahlula ekhaya ukuba wena okanye umntu ohlala naye une-COVID-19.)

Ungashiya nini ukuzikhetha?

I-CDC inesikhokelo esicacileyo koku. Kwimeko apho uvavanyo lwe-COVID-19 alufumaneki kuwe, i-arhente icebisa ngokukodwa ukuphelisa ukuzikhetha xa uhlangabezana nezi ndlela zilandelayo:

• Awuzange ube nomkhuhlane iiyure ezingama-72, ngaphandle kokusebenzisa amayeza anciphisa umkhuhlane.
• Iimpawu zakho ziphuculwe (ngakumbi ukukhwehlela kunye nokuphefumla kancinci-qiniseka ukubonisana ne-doc yakho malunga nokuqhubela phambili kwezi mpawu).
• Ubuncinci iintsuku ezisixhenxe okoko iimpawu zakho zaqala ukubonakala.

Ukuba u zi iyakwazi ukwenza uvavanyo lwe-COVID-19, i-CDC icebisa ukuba uzishiye wedwa emva kokuba ezi zinto zenzekile:

• Awusenayo ifiva, ngaphandle kokusebenzisa amayeza anciphisa umkhuhlane.
• Iimpawu zakho ziphucukile (ingakumbi ukukhohlela kunye nokuphefumla kancinci-qiniseka ukuba udibana nogqirha wakho malunga nokuqhubeka kwezi mpawu).
• Ufumene iimvavanyo ezimbini ezimbi ngokulandelelana, iiyure ezingama-24 ukuqelelana.

Ekugqibeleni, ukuthetha nogqirha wakho rhoqo kuwo onke amava-kunokuba uzame ukufumanisa konke ngokwakho-kubalulekile, utshilo uGqirha Tolliver. “Okwangoku, kunzima kakhulu ukuxelela ukuba ngubani na okanye ongenalo usulelo lwe-COVID-19. Akunakwenzeka ukuxela ngokujonga nje umntu,” uyacacisa. "Akusoze kubekho monakalo ekunxibelelaneni nogqirha wakho okhathalelayo ukuze uxoxe ngazo naziphi na iimpawu ezinobulali, ezilinganiselweyo, okanye ezinzima, nokuba ucinga ukuba iimpawu zinokuba sisilumkiso sobuxoki. Kungcono ukuphambuka kwicala lokulumkisa kunokungakhathali."

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.
