He anu i nā wahi a pau i kēia mau lā! Pehea e pale ai iā ʻoe iho mai ka maʻi palū (Flu)?

I kēia mau lā, ua loaʻa i ka hapa nui o nā kānaka ke anu a i ʻole ka maʻi palū. Ma ke keʻena, ma ke kula, ma ke kaʻa ʻōhua, ma nā wahi a pau āu e hele ai, ke kunu nei kekahi a ke ʻūhā nei paha. ʻOiai paha he mea maʻamau kēia, i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole ia he anu wale nō, akā he maʻi palū a i ʻole ka mea a mākou e kapa nei he 'maʻi palū'. No ka hapa nui o nā kānaka, ke loaʻa iā lākou, e ola lākou ma hope o ka noho ʻana ma ka home no hoʻokahi a ʻelua paha pule. Akā no kekahi me nā maʻi ʻē aʻe e like me ka hānō, ka maʻi puʻuwai, ka maʻi diabetes, a i ʻole ka ʻōnaehana pale nāwaliwali, hiki ke lilo i mea weliweli. No laila, ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa, ʻo ia ke pale aku i ka maʻi ma mua o ka ulu ʻana. E nānā kākou i ka mea hiki ke hana ʻia e pili ana i ia mea.

ʻO ka pale ʻana ka pale maikaʻi loa

Wahi a nā loea lapaʻau, ʻo ke ala maikaʻi loa a me ka pono e pale aku ai iā ʻoe iho mai ka maʻi palū, ʻo ia ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale. Manaʻo nui ʻia e loaʻa kēia lāʻau pale i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kēia mau lāʻau pale e kuhikuhi i nā ʻano o ka maʻi i wānana ʻia e nā loea olakino e laha nui loa i kēlā manawa. E hoʻomanaʻo paha ʻoe i ka puka ʻana o ka maʻi H1N1 (maʻi puaʻa). Ua hoʻolālā ʻia kēia mau lāʻau pale e pale aku i kēlā mau ʻano. Pale kekahi mau lāʻau pale i ʻehā mau ʻano o ka maʻi, i kapa ʻia ʻo nā lāʻau pale quadrivalent.

E aʻo iki kākou e pili ana i nā ʻano lāʻau pale, ʻeā?

Aia kekahi mau ʻano lāʻau pale maʻi palū. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e hoʻoholo i ka lāʻau pale maikaʻi loa iā ʻoe, ma muli o kou makahiki a me ke kūlana olakino.

E palekana kākou mai nā germs!

He mea maʻalahi loa ka laha ʻana o ka maʻi palū. E noʻonoʻo, inā e ʻūhā a ʻūlū paha kekahi mea maʻi kokoke iā ʻoe, hiki i nā kulu wai e loaʻa ana ka maʻi ke hele pololei i loko o kou ihu a me kou waha.

ʻAʻole wale ia, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i ka maʻi ma ka hoʻopā ʻana i kahi ʻili i haumia ʻia me ka maʻi. No ka laʻana, hiki i ka maʻi ke ola a hiki i 8 mau hola ma luna o nā ʻili i hoʻohana ʻia e kahi kanaka i loaʻa i ka maʻi, e like me ka papa ʻaina, ka ʻūpā puka, ke kelepona keʻena, a i ʻole ka noho kaʻa. Inā ʻoe e hoʻopā i kēlā ʻili a laila hoʻopā i kou mau maka, ihu, a waha paha me ka lima hoʻokahi, e hoʻopā ʻoe iā ʻoe iho me ka maʻi.

No laila, e makaʻala i kēia mau mea:

• E holoi pinepine i kou mau lima. E holoi pono i kou mau lima me ke kopa a me ka wai mehana. He mea nui loa kēia ma hope o ka hoʻi ʻana mai i ka home mai waho mai, e lulu lima me kekahi, a i ʻole e hoʻopā i nā wahi lehulehu.
• E mālama i kahi mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe lima ma ka lima. He mea pono loa kēia ma nā wahi hiki ʻole iā ʻoe ke holoi mau i kou mau lima. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mea i hana ʻia me ka waiʻona.
• Mai hoʻopā i kou maka me ke kumu ʻole. E hoʻōki i ka maʻa o ka hoʻopā ʻana i kou mau maka, ihu, a me ka waha me ka holoi ʻole i kou mau lima i kēia lā.
• ʻAʻole maikaʻi ka kaʻana like ʻana i kēia manawa. ʻOi loa aku, mai kaʻana like i nā mea e like me nā pā, nā kīʻaha wai, a me nā ʻokiʻoki me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe.

E mālama hoʻi i kou kino.

Inā ikaika kou ʻōnaehana pale kino, e maʻalahi i kou kino ke pale aku i kekahi maʻi ahulau, ʻaʻole wale ka maʻi palū. No kēlā, pono ʻoe e noho olakino.

• E ʻai i ka meaʻai maikaʻi a momona hoʻi. E hoʻokomo i nā mea kanu, nā huaʻai, a me nā greens i kāu papaʻai.
• Hoʻoikaika kino. E hana i kekahi ʻano hoʻoikaika kino e hoʻoulu ai iā ʻoe i ka hou ma ka liʻiliʻi he 5 mau lā o ka pule, no ka liʻiliʻi he 30 mau minuke i ka lā.
• E hiamoe pono. He mea nui loa ka hiamoe maikaʻi ma waena o 7 a me 9 mau hola no kou ʻōnaehana pale kino.

E hāʻawi kēia mau mea maʻalahi i kou kino i ka ikaika e pono ai e hakakā i nā maʻi.

Inā ʻoe e puhipaka, pili pū kēlā iā ʻoe.

Hoʻonui ka puhipaka i ka pilikia o ka maʻi kanesa, hoʻonui koke i ka ʻili i ka ʻili, a hoʻonui i ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi palū. Ua ʻike ʻia nā noiʻi ua loaʻa pinepine ka maʻi palū i ka poʻe puhipaka ma mua o ka poʻe puhi ʻole, a i ka wā e hana ai lākou, ʻoi aku ka nui o ko lākou maʻi. No laila, ʻo ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi palū kekahi kumu maikaʻi e noʻonoʻo ai e haʻalele i ka puhipaka. E kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i kēia a noi i ke kōkua.

He aha kāu e hana ai inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ke kuni?

ʻOiai me kēia mau mea a pau, i kekahi manawa hiki iā kākou ke maʻi. Inā hana ʻia kēlā, e noʻonoʻo pū i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopili i kekahi mea ʻē aʻe a hiki i hoʻokahi pule ma hope o kou maʻi ʻana.

• E ʻimi i ke kōkua lapaʻau: E ʻike i ke kauka ke hoʻomaka ʻoe e ʻike i nā hōʻailona like me ka maʻi flu. I kekahi manawa e kuhikuhi paha kāu kauka i nā lāʻau antiviral, e like me oseltamivir (Tamiflu). Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kēia mau mea inā lawe ʻia i ka wā mua, i loko o nā lā ʻelua mua o ka maʻi.
• E noho ma ka home: E noho ma ka home a hoʻomaha a hiki i kou ʻoluʻolu. Mai hele i ka hana a i ke kula a pau loa kou kuni a ʻaʻole ʻoe i lawe i kekahi lāʻau lapaʻau.
• E pale i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe: Ma kahi o ka uhi ʻana i kou waha me kou lima i ka wā e ʻū ana a i ʻole e ʻūhā ana, e ʻū i loko o kou kuʻekuʻe. E pale aku kēia i nā germs mai ka laha ʻana i kou mau lima. E hoʻolei pono i nā ʻiʻo i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o ka ʻōpala, ma mua o ka hoʻolei ʻana aku.
