Emva kokuba ihlobo liphelile, izilumkiso zengqele kunye nezomkhuhlane ziqala ukuhlasela amaziko ezempilo. Besisoloko sinxulumanisa ingqele nolu hlobo lwesi sifo, kodwa inyaniso kukuba ubushushu abunanto yakwenza noko. Nangona kunokwenzeka ukuba ugule ngoNovemba kunango-Agasti, izazinzulu zikholelwa ukuba ukufuma yeyona nto iphambili. Oko kukuthi, xa ukufuma kuphezulu, amasuntswana esiwasasaza ekuthumbeni (kwaye alayishwe yintsholongwane yomkhuhlane) makhulu kwaye anzima, ngoko achitha ixesha elincinci emoyeni. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kwixesha elibandayo, umswakama uphantsi, ngoko kunokwenzeka ukuba amaqhekeza ahlala emoyeni ixesha elide.
Yintoni umkhuhlane ngokwenene?
Sijamelene nesifo esosulelayo esiyingozi, esidla ngokusasazwa ngumoya kwaye sixhaphake kakhulu kubemi. Imvelaphi yayo ikwintsholongwane yosapho I-Orthomyxoviridae kwaye, njengoko besinixelele ngaphambili, ixhaphake kakhulu kwiinyanga zasebusika.
Umkhuhlane usasazeka lula, ngoko ke amanyathelo okhuseleko athathwa minyaka le ukunqanda ubhubhani wamaxesha onyaka. Kuba nawuphi na umntu ophilileyo, ekukhuleni, akuyi kuthetha ngaphezu kweentsuku ezimbalwa zokuphumla; kodwa kukho amanye amaqela abuthathaka ngakumbi, njengabantwana nabakhulileyo, abanokuba neengxaki ezinzulu.

Abanye abantu bosulelwe yintsholongwane yomkhuhlane kodwa ababonakalisi zimpawu, kodwa bayakwazi ukuyithwala.Ngelishwa, iintsholongwane zomkhuhlane ziyaguquka minyaka le, ngoko ke soze sigonywe ngonaphakade. Nangona kunjalo, nokuba intsholongwane iyatshintsha, iimpawu zayo zihlala zifana.
Ukosulelwa yile ntsholongwane kubangela a utshintsho kwi-epithelium yokuphefumula kakhulu kunayo nayiphi na enye into ebangelwa ngumkhuhlane. Umfanekiso wokuqala wekliniki udla ngokuqala ngesiquphe ngefiva kunye neengqele, kunye nentloko ebuhlungu, ukuxinana kweempumlo, umqala obuhlungu, ukuqaqanjelwa zizihlunu, ukuphelelwa ngumdla wokutya, kunye nokhohlokhohlo olomileyo.

Ngaba ibeka ingozi enkulu kwimpilo?
Uninzi lwabantu luyachacha kwiveki enye ukuya kwezimbini, kodwa iingxaki zinokuvela kwezinye iimeko.
Njengoko besesitshilo ngaphambili, umkhuhlane unokubangela ubuzaza ngakumbi kubantu abadala, ngakumbi ukusuka kwiminyaka engama-65 kunye nesifo esingapheliyo.

Kuyinto eqhelekileyo ukufuna ukulaliswa esibhedlele kunye nokukhubazeka ukwenza imisebenzi yemihla ngemihla. Nangona ikhefu lethutyana licetyiswa emsebenzini, ziya zisanda iinkampani ezicebisa ukusetyenziswa kwesitofu sokugonya. Ukugonywa kunciphisa ukulaliswa esibhedlele ngama-50% kunye nokufa ngama-35%..
Usasazwa njani?
Kuxhaphake kakhulu ukuba isasazwe ngomoya phakathi kwabantu abakwiindawo ezivaliweyo. Inokudluliselwa ngokudibana ngokuthe ngqo ngamathontsi amathe esiwakhuphayo xa sithetha, sincamisana, sikhohlela okanye sithimla. Nasezandleni ezosulelekileyo, intsholongwane yomkhuhlane inokuqhubeka iiyure, ngakumbi ukuba sikwiindawo ezibandayo ezinobumanzi obuphantsi.
Ukuba ungumdlali kwaye uya kwindawo yokuzivocavoca ngeli xesha, unethuba elihle lokugula ngokuchukumisa nayiphi na into. Hlala ekhaya ukuba unomkhuhlane, kwaye uqalise ngoqeqesho lwakho xa sele ubuyele kwi-100%.
