Uyini ngempela lo mndeni we-coronavirus?
Abantu abaningi bacabanga ukuthi i-coronavirus iyigciwane elilodwa nje. Kodwa akulona iqiniso lelo. I-Coronavirus iqoqo lamagciwane angowomndeni ofanayo. Njengoba nje kunabantu abahlukene emindenini yethu, kunezinhlobo ezahlukene zamagciwane kulo mndeni we-coronavirus. Amanye amagciwane kulo mndeni abangela izifo ezincane njengomkhuhlane ovamile esiwutholayo. Kunezinye amagciwane athelela izilwane ezifana namalulwane, amakamela, nezinkomo kuphela. Ngakho-ke, kukulo mndeni omkhulu lapho kwavela khona igciwane elibangela i-COVID-19, igciwane elibizwa ngokuthi i-SARS-CoV-2 . Ososayensi baqale bathola i-coronavirus eyayingathelela abantu ngo-1965. Yabangela umkhuhlane ovamile. Kamuva, kwatholakala izinhlobo eziningi zamagciwane afana nalawa. Lapho ebhekwa ngaphansi kwe-microscope, la magciwane anezinsika ebusweni bawo ezibukeka njengomqhele, ngakho aqanjwa ngokuthi “i-corona,” ngokusekelwe egameni lesiLatini elisho “umqhele.”Izifo ezinkulu ze-coronavirus ezandulela i-COVID-19
Ngisho nangaphambi kobhubhane lwe-COVID-19, ama-coronavirus amabili amakhulu abangela izifo ezinkulu kubantu ayesakazeka emhlabeni wonke. Ake sifunde kancane ngawo.| Igciwane kanye nesifo | Unyaka nendawo yokuvela | Amaphuzu abalulekile |
|---|---|---|
| I-SARS (Isifo Sokuphefumula Esinamandla Kakhulu) | 2002, eNingizimu yeShayina | Kwasakazekela emazweni angu-28. Abantu abangaphezu kuka-8,000 batheleleka kanti abangu-774 bafa. Umkhuhlane, ikhanda elibuhlungu, ukukhwehlela, kanye nobunzima bokuphefumula kwakuyizimpawu eziyinhloko. |
| I-MERS (i-Middle East Respiratory Syndrome) | 2012, eSaudi Arabia | Nakuba i-SARS ingathelelani kangako, izinga lokufa laliphezulu. Abantu abangu-2,500 batheleleka kanti abangu-858 bafa. Ngaphezu kwezinkinga zokuphefumula, ukwehluleka kwezinso nakho kwenzeke. |
Indaba ye-COVID-19 yaqala kanjani?
Manje ake siqhubekele enseleleni enkulu yezempilo yesikhathi sethu, i-COVID-19. Ngasekupheleni kuka-2019, kwabikwa amacala amaningana e-pneumonia ngaphandle kwesizathu esaziwayo edolobheni laseWuhan, eShayina. Ayenezimpawu ezifana nomkhuhlane nobunzima bokuphefumula. Ekuqaleni, kwakucatshangwa ukuthi kwaqala "emakethe emanzi" eWuhan. Lena indawo lapho kwakuthengiswa khona imifino nezithelo ezintsha, kanye nenyama yezilwane ezahlukahlukene. Kodwa ngemva kwesikhashana, kwatholakala ukuthi lesi sifo sasisakazekela nakubantu ababengenalo uxhumano naleyo makethe. Lokhu kusho ukuthi igciwane lagxuma lisuka esilwaneni laya kumuntu, labe selisuka kumuntu laya kumuntu, ngokushesha okukhulu.Imiphi imibono ngemvelaphi ye-COVID-19?
Akukabikho ukuqiniseka okungu-100% mayelana nokuthi igciwane le-COVID-19 laqala kanjani. Kodwa-ke, kunemibono emibili eyinhloko: 1. Ukudluliselwa kwesilwane kuya kumuntu: Njenge-SARS ne-MERS, igciwane kukholakala ukuthi lavela ngokwemvelo esilwaneni (cishe ilulwane) bese lisakazekela kubantu ngesilwane esiphakathi. 2. Ukudluliselwa kwelabhorethri: Igciwane elalicwaningwa elabhorethri ukuze kwenziwe ucwaningo oluthile lakhishwa ngengozi. Abukho ubufakazi obanele bokufakazela noma ukuphikisa noma iyiphi yale mibono. Kodwa-ke, imibiko eminingi yezobunhloli iphakamisa ukuthi alizange lishintshwe izakhi zofuzo noma lidalwe njengesikhali sebhayoloji .Kungani lokhu kubizwa ngokuthi i-COVID-19?
Lokhu kuyinkinga futhi kubantu abaningi.- Igama legciwane: i-SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2). Leli gama lanikezwa ngoba lifana kakhulu negciwane le -SARS elavela ngo-2002. Amagciwane aqanjwa ngokwesakhiwo sawo sofuzo.
- Igama lesifo: i-COVID-19. Lesi isifinyezo. I-CO rona VI rus D isease ka- 2019 . Lokho kusho isifo se -coronavirus esatholakala ngo-2019.
Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuqaphela ukuthi akulungile neze ukubiza lesi sifo ngokuthi “umkhuhlane waseWuhan” noma “igciwane laseShayina”. Ukusetshenziswa kwamagama anjalo kuholele enkulumweni yenzondo nobudlova kubantu base-Asia emhlabeni wonke. Sonke sidinga ukuyeka ukuhlobanisa noma yisiphi isifo nanoma yiluphi uhlanga noma izwe.NgoMashi 11, 2020, i-World Health Organization (WHO) yamemezela ngokusemthethweni isimo se-COVID-19 njengobhubhane . Akunakuphikwa ukuthi izimpilo zethu zishintshe kangakanani kusukela ngaleso sikhathi.
Yiziphi izifundo okufanele sizifunde?
Ubhubhane lwe-COVID-19 lusifundise izinto eziningi. Okubaluleke kakhulu kuzo ukuthi ubhubhane aluyona nje inkinga yezempilo, kodwa luyinkinga yezenhlalo, yezomnotho neyengqondo. Sifunde nokuthi isayensi nolwazi olunembile lubaluleke kangakanani. Uma unokungabaza mayelana nesibonakaliso, into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukuxhumana nodokotela wakho esikhundleni sokukholelwa kukho konke okutholayo ku-inthanethi. Bazokunikeza isiqondiso esifanele.Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- I-Coronavirus akuyona igciwane elilodwa, kodwa umndeni omkhulu wamagciwane. I-COVID-19 ibangelwa ilungu elilodwa lalowo mndeni, igciwane le-SARS-CoV-2.
- Ngaphambi kwe-COVID-19, izifo ezinkulu ze-coronavirus ezifana ne-SARS kanye ne-MERS nazo zase zisakazeke emhlabeni wonke.
- Umsuka wegciwane le-COVID-19 awukacaci. Ukuthi livela esilwaneni noma lisakazeke elabhorethri kusalokhu kuyimpikiswano.
- Ungalokothi uhlobanise isifo nohlanga oluthile, ubuzwe, noma izwe. Akulungile futhi akunabo ubuntu.
- Hlala ufuna iseluleko kudokotela ofanelekayo ukuze uthole ulwazi olunembile mayelana nezinkinga zempilo.
