Inzuzo Phambi Kwabantu
Ngelixa ishishini lezokhenketho litshatyalalisiwe yi-COVID-19, ubunkokeli kushishino buthule ngendlela emangalisayo. Icandelo leshishini elineprofayile ephezulu? Imigca yokuhamba ngenqanawa. Abaphathi abakhange baxolise ngokudlala indima enkulu ekusasazeni intsholongwane ngokungakhathali kunye nentloko-in-santi kwindlela yokuphatha. Kananjalo abawahoyanga amawaka abakhweli kunye nabasebenzi abavaleleke elwandle bengenalo naliphi na ithemba lokuhla ezinqanaweni babuyiselwe ekhaya. Ukusukela nge-11 kaSeptemba 2020, abahambi ngolwandle abangama-300,000 babebambeke kwiinqanawa zokuhamba ngenqanawa ngaphandle koncedo lwezonyango okanye lwezemali okanye ukuba babuyele kusapho nakwizihlobo.
Abaphathi beenqwelo-moya banexhala elingakumbi malunga neWall Street kunye nokuwa kwabo kwamaxabiso esitokhwe kunokuzama ukufumana nokuphumeza itekhnoloji entsha, umphezulu wokulwa neentsholongwane kunye neendlela eziphuculweyo zokucoca ezinokunciphisa amasuntswana e-COVID-19 kwinkqubo ye-HVAC. Iiprothokholi ezifunekayo ukuze kugcinwe abantu abagulayo kwiinqwelomoya zabo, ukunika unyango kubantu abakwaziyo ukungena kwiinqwelomoya, bagule baze bafe, kwaye baxelele abakhweli malunga neepathogens ezivela kubakhweli abosulelekileyo - onke la manyathelo awahoywanga. Abaphathi bakwathi cwaka malunga nokuqaphela kunye nokuwonga amaSamariya olungileyo awenza umsebenzi ekufanele ukuba unikwe umsebenzi wabasebenzi. Umzila wokuhamba ngenqanawa kunye namashishini eenqwelo moya ngokuqinisekileyo akhokelela kwinkolelo yokuba inzuzo ibaluleke ngakumbi kunabantu.
IVacuum yobuNkokheli
Ngaba iinkokeli zehlabathi bekufanele ukuba zazi ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba kubekho ubhubhani we-COVID-19? Impendulo emfutshane nguEWE! Kangangeminyaka emininzi ii-arhente zempilo kunye nezoqoqosho kunye namaziko ebelumkisa ngokunyuka kwamathuba okuba sisibetho esiyingozi sehlabathi. IQonga lezoQoqosho lweHlabathi (i-WEF) libambe iintlanganiso kwaye libe neengxoxo eziqhubekayo neengcali zopolitiko, amashishini kunye nezempilo – kuphononongwa imingcipheko engundoqo kuqoqosho lwehlabathi.
Ngo-2006, ngexesha leNgxelo yokuqala yoMngcipheko weHlabathi, ubhubhani waba yenye yeemeko ezine ezingundoqo zomngcipheko. Kuyathakazelisa ukuqaphela ukuba kwiNgxelo ye-Global Risk Report ka-2020, izifo ezosulelayo zibekwe kwindawo yesithathu ngokunokwenzeka (emva kwezixhobo zokutshabalalisa kunye nokunyuka kwamaxabiso) kunye neshumi kwimpembelelo enokubakho kwaye iphawulwe njengenye yeengozi ezincinci ezidibeneyo. Kwakutheni ukuze iindyikityha ziye zasiwa kwizitshisi ngasemva?
UMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) uqalise kwaye walungelelanisa impendulo kwi-SARS ngokusebenzisa iGlobal Outbreak Alert and Response Network (DOARN) ngokusebenzisana nemibutho esebenzisana nayo equka iinkonzo zempilo zelizwe ezili-115, amaziko emfundo, amaziko obugcisa kunye nabantu ngabanye. Olu thungelwano lwezempilo lukawonke-wonke lwaphuhliswa kwasekuqaleni ukuze lulawule ukuqhambuka komkhuhlane kunye nezinye izifo ezosulelayo kwaye ngoku kuyacaca ukuba uhlolo lwezizwe ngezizwe, intsebenziswano, nolulungelelanisiweyo, uphando kunye nokuthintela ukusasazeka kwe-SARS [THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS nap.edu/10915 ].
Eminye imibutho yehlabathi nayo iphakamise iiflegi ezilumkisayo kwaye ikhuthaze uphuhliso lokulungela iindyikityha ezizingisileyo ezenza uhambo lwamazwe ngamazwe lube ngumngcipheko wobuqu kwaye kufuneka ilawulwe kakhulu ukunqanda ukusasazeka kwezi ngozi zebhayoloji ezinokuthi zibe kho; nangona kunjalo, ubunkokeli, ukuthatha inxaxheba kunye neengcebiso ezivela kwihotele, kumashishini ohambo kunye nokhenketho azikho kwiingxoxo.
Iyosulela kwaye iyabulala
Nangona ihlabathi beliphila kwindyikitya yokufa kunye nobhubhane, kwaye i-COVID-19 ijongwa njengeyosulelo njengemasisi kwaye ayinakumbulala umntu owosulelekileyo njenge-EBOLA; nangona kunjalo, nge-COVID, abantu baqala ukulahla intsholongwane kwiintsuku ezininzi phambi kweempawu. Ke, abantu abane-asymptomatic bayosulela intsholongwane phambi kokuba bazi ukuba bazimele bodwa okanye bathathe amanye amanyathelo (okt, ukuhamba ngokwasemzimbeni, ukunxiba iimaski), ukukhusela usapho kunye nabahlobo.
Ukusukela nge-26 kaDisemba, ngo-2020, kuye kwakho iimeko ezingama-79.9M kunye ne-1.75 yokusweleka kwe-COVID-19 [nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/new-york-coronavirus-cases.html] kunye noMbutho wezaBasebenzi weZizwe ngezizwe (ILO) waqikelela ukuba imisebenzi engama-25 ezigidi iye yasongelwa yile ntsholongwane intsha.
