He aha kēia "Herd Immunity" a nā mea a pau e kamaʻilio nei? E hoʻomaopopo maʻalahi kākou, ʻeā?

Ua lohe paha ʻoe i ka huaʻōlelo "Herd Immunity." Ua nui ka kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ia mea, ʻoiai i ka wā o ka maʻi ahulau COVID-19. No laila, he aha ke ʻano maoli o ia mea? E kamaʻilio iki kākou e pili ana i kēia lā, e like me ke kamaʻilio ʻana me kahi hoaaloha.

He aha kēia 'Herd Immunity'?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo ka palekana o ka lehulehu ka wā e palekana ai ka nui o ka poʻe ma kahi wahi a i ʻole hui paha (ʻo ia hoʻi, pale ʻia) mai kahi maʻi kikoʻī a i ʻole kekahi mea hoʻolaha ʻē aʻe, e paʻakikī ai ka laha ʻana o kēlā maʻi. E noʻonoʻo, i ka wā e palekana ai ka nui o ka poʻe, ua emi ka manawa e lele ai kēlā pathogen mai kekahi kanaka a i kekahi kanaka.

Aia kekahi mau ala e kūkulu ai i ka palekana:

• Ma ka maʻi ʻana a me ka ho'ōla kūlohelohe ʻana.
• Ma o ka lāʻau pale.
• Ma ka loaʻa ʻana o nā antibodies mai waho, e like me mai ka makuahine a i ka pēpē (ua kapa ʻia kēia he immunity passive, e kamaʻilio mākou e pili ana i kēlā ma hope iki).

Wahi a nā kauka ʻo ka lāʻau pale ke ala palekana a maikaʻi loa no ka pale ʻana .

ʻO nā mea āpau i palekana i ka maʻi e kōkua i ka pale ʻana i ka laha ʻana o ka maʻi i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe. E noʻonoʻo ua hoʻopili ʻia ʻoe. Ma kēlā ʻano, ua emi ka manawa e hoʻoili ai i ka maʻi i kekahi. Hoʻemi pū ia i ka manawa e loli ai ka maʻi i loko o kou kino a hana i kahi ʻano hou. Eia nō naʻe, inā e laha wikiwiki ana kahi maʻi, pono e kiʻekiʻe aʻe ka nui o ka poʻe i palekana i ia mea e hoʻōki ai.

I kekahi manawa, ua kapa ʻia kēia palekana hui he "palekana kaiāulu" a i ʻole "palekana heluna kanaka." Ua like ke ʻano o lākou a pau.

Pehea e hoʻomohala ʻia ai ka palekana?

He mau mea kūikawā nā antibodies a ko kākou kino e hana ai e hakakā i nā germs e hoʻoulu ai i nā maʻi e komo i loko o ko kākou kino. Hāʻawi kēlā me kēia antibody i ka pale ʻana i hoʻokahi maʻi wale nō. Hiki iā kākou ke loaʻa kēia palekana ma nā ʻano nui ʻelua.

Palekana Hana

Pili kēia i ka hana ʻana i nā antibodies mai ko mākou kino ponoʻī. Hiki nō hoʻi kēia ke hana ma nā ʻano ʻelua:

1. Ka palekana kūlohelohe: ʻO ke ʻano kēia, ke maʻi mākou a ola hou mai ia mea, hana ko mākou kino i nā antibodies e kūʻē i kēlā maʻi.

2. Palekana mai ka lāʻau pale: Hoʻohana ʻia nā lāʻau pale e hoʻokomo i kahi pathogen i hoʻonāwaliwali ʻia a pepehi ʻia paha (a i ʻole kekahi hapa o ia mea) i loko o ko mākou kino, e hana ana i ko mākou kino e hana i nā antibodies e kūʻē i kēlā maʻi.

Hāʻawi kēia palekana hana i ko mākou kino i kahi "hoʻomanaʻo palekana." ʻO ke ʻano kēia inā loaʻa hou iā mākou ka maʻi like i ka wā e hiki mai ana, hiki i ko mākou kino ke ʻike koke iā ia a hana i nā antibodies.

Palekana Hana ʻole

ʻO kēia ka manawa e loaʻa ai iā mākou nā antibodies mai waho o ko mākou kino. Eia kekahi laʻana:

• Loaʻa i nā pēpē hānau hou nā antibodies mai ko lākou mau makuahine ma o ka waiū umauma.
• Hiki ke loaʻa nā antibodies ma o kekahi mau huahana koko.

I loko o kēia pale ʻana o ka maʻi, ʻaʻole e hoʻomohala ko mākou kino i kēlā ʻano "hoʻomanaʻo." No laila, ʻo ka palekana āna e hāʻawi ai a hiki i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā antibodies mai waho. He manawa pōkole ia.

Pehea e pili ai ka palekana o ka hui me COVID-19?

Ua ʻike ʻoe i ka wikiwiki o ka laha ʻana o ka maʻi `(COVID-19)`, kona ʻano mua, a me nā ʻano ma hope e like me `(Delta variant)` a me `(Omicron variant)`. I nā lā mua o ke ahulau, ua manaʻo nā kānaka noiʻi inā ua hoʻopili ʻia he 60% a 70% o ka heluna kanaka o ka honua, ua ola hou mai ka maʻi, a i ʻole ua loaʻa iā lākou ka palekana, e hiki iā lākou ke kūkulu i ka palekana hui i `(COVID-19)`.

Eia nō naʻe, ua ʻike nā kānaka noiʻi ʻaʻole lawa kēia helu, no ka mea he laha loa nā ʻano `(Delta)` a me `(Omicron)`. I kēia manawa, ʻōlelo kekahi poʻe hiki i kēlā helu ke piʻi aʻe i ka 85%.

ʻAʻole hiki iā kākou ke hoʻokō i ka palekana lehulehu i ka COVID-19 me ka ʻole o kahi lāʻau pale?

ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he mea paʻakikī loa a he mea weliweli hoʻi ke kūkulu ʻana i ka palekana lehulehu i kahi maʻi e like me "(COVID-19)" me ka ʻole o kahi lāʻau pale. I mea e hiki ai kēlā, pono ka nui o ka poʻe e loaʻa i ka maʻi. Inā hana ʻia kēlā, e make ka nui o ka poʻe a e maʻi nui ka nui o ka poʻe.

I kēia manawa, ʻoiai me nā lāʻau pale, aia kekahi mau pilikia i ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka palekana o ka hui. E nānā:

• Ua ʻae kekahi poʻe he palekana nā lāʻau pale, akā ʻaʻole lākou makemake e lawe.
• ʻAʻole hiki i kekahi poʻe ke loaʻa ka lāʻau pale no nā kumu olakino.
• ʻO kekahi poʻe (no ka laʻana, ʻo ka poʻe me ka pale kino haʻahaʻa loa - `(immunocompromised)`) ʻaʻole lākou e hana pono i nā antibodies ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale.
• ʻOiai ma hope o ke ola hou ʻana mai COVID-19 a i ʻole ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale, ʻaʻole maopopo iā mākou ka lōʻihi o ka mau ʻana o ia palekana.
• ʻAʻole i loaʻa i nā kānaka a pau ma ka honua nā lāʻau pale like.

ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ka manaʻo ʻana i ka palekana o ka lehulehu me ka ʻole o ka lāʻau pale ʻana ua like ia me ka hana ʻana i kahi pōʻino nui.

ʻO nā mea a mākou i aʻo ai e pili ana i ka palekana o ka hui mai ka maʻi ʻōpala a me ka maʻi influenza

Ua hoʻopakele maoli nā lāʻau pale i ko mākou ola mai nā maʻi make. ʻAʻole mākou e manaʻo hou i ka maʻi ʻūlū he maʻi koʻikoʻi, akā ma nā wahi o ka honua kahi i ʻole ai ka mālama olakino maikaʻi, ma kahi o 5% o nā keiki i loaʻa i ka maʻi ʻūlū e make ana. Ma nā ʻāina e like me ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, kahi i lilo ai nā lāʻau pale i mea maʻamau, ua hāʻule nā ​​​​hihia ʻūlū ma mua o 99%.

Eia nō naʻe, loaʻa pinepine nā maʻi ahulau i ka poʻe i hoʻopili ʻole ʻia. No ka laʻana, i ka makahiki 2019, aia he 1,282 mau hihia ahulau ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻo ia ka helu kiʻekiʻe loa mai ka makahiki 1992. ʻO ka poʻe i hoʻopili ʻole ʻia, ʻoiai ka poʻe i huakaʻi i nā ʻāina ʻē, a me ka poʻe e noho ana ma nā kaiāulu i hoʻopili ʻole ʻia, ʻo lākou ka poʻe i pilikia nui loa.

ʻOiai hiki i nā lāʻau pale ke kūkulu i ka palekana lehulehu e kūʻē i nā maʻi i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka pathogen like, e like me ka measles a me ka smallpox, ʻokoʻa iki nā maʻi e like me ka influenza (kapa mākou iā lākou he "flu"). Nui nā ʻano virus like ʻole e hiki ke hoʻoulu i ka flu. Hana ʻia ka lāʻau pale flu i hāʻawi ʻia i kēlā me kēia makahiki e kūʻē i kekahi mau ʻano virus i manaʻo ʻia he nui loa ia makahiki.

ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau pale maʻi hiki ke pale i nā make, ʻoiai ma waena o nā keiki. Hiki iā ia ke hōʻemi i ke koʻikoʻi o ka maʻi a me ka pono e hoʻokipa ʻia i ka haukapila. Mālama pū ia i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe a puni mākou. Eia naʻe, me kēia mau mea maikaʻi a pau, ʻaʻole nui ka poʻe e loaʻa i ka lāʻau pale maʻi i kēlā me kēia makahiki.

Nā Pōʻino o ka Hoʻomohala ʻana i ka Palekana Puʻu "Maoli"

ʻO ke kūkulu ʻana i ka palekana hui i nā maʻi make "ma ke ʻano maoli" ʻo ia hoʻi ka ʻae ʻana i nā kānaka he nui e make a me nā mea hou aku e maʻi nui. Ua hoʻohana mākou i nā lāʻau pale no nā makahiki he nui e pale aku iā mākou iho a me ka poʻe a puni mākou ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa ka lāʻau pale, ʻōpiopio loa e loaʻa ka lāʻau pale, a i ʻole ua palupalu ka pale ʻana o ka maʻi a ʻaʻole pane maikaʻi i ka lāʻau pale. ʻO ia hoʻi, e kūkulu i ka palekana hui.

ʻO ka mea hope loa, ʻo ka mea nui loa (Leka Lawe-Home)

No laila, ua maopopo paha iā ʻoe i kēia manawa he aha ka palekana o ka hui a me ke koʻikoʻi o ia mea no ka palekana o nā mea āpau i loko o ko kākou kaiāulu.

• ʻO ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi ka ala palekana a maikaʻi loa e hoʻokō ai i ka palekana o ka hui.
• Ke loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi lāʻau pale, kōkua ʻoe i ka pale ʻana iā ʻoe iho, akā, i kou ʻohana, nā hoaaloha, a me ke kaiāulu holoʻokoʻa.
• ʻO ka poʻe i hiki ʻole ke loaʻa ka lāʻau pale (e like me nā pēpē ʻōpio, nā poʻe me kekahi mau maʻi, a me ka poʻe me nā ʻōnaehana pale nāwaliwali) e loaʻa ka palekana nui aʻe.
• I nā maʻi e pālahalaha wikiwiki ana e like me COVID-19, ʻo ke ala maikaʻi loa e kāohi ai i ka maʻi, ʻo ia ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka nui o ka poʻe i ka hiki a me ke kūkulu ʻana i ka palekana.

No laila, e like me ka ʻōlelo a nā kauka, e kiʻi i kāu mau lāʻau pale a kōkua i ke kūkulu ʻana i kēia palekana lehulehu. E pōmaikaʻi ia iā kākou a pau!

ʻO ka palekana o ka pūʻulu, ka lāʻau pale, ka palekana, COVID-19, ka maʻi ahulau, nā maʻi lele, ke olakino pale
