Ngaso kanye ekuqaleni kobhadane lwe-coronavirus, nganginesiqiniseko sokuthi abantu bazohamba futhi uma bezizwa kuphephile ukwenza njalo ezweni elisha le-Covid-19, futhi uma benemali eyisipele yokwenza njalo. Ukukholelwa kwami kuleyo mantra kuqinile namuhla njengoba bekunjalo kuzo zonke lezo zinyanga ezedlule.
Ngenkathi iThailand namuhla ithathwa njengephephile, kungekho zifo ezintsha zasendaweni emasontweni amane edlule - kuthiwani ngomhlaba wonke? Ngezigigaba ezintsha ezidabukisayo ezifinyelelwe kule mpelasonto - manje amacala angaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-4 nokufa kwabantu abayi-10 emhlabeni jikelele - ukubikezela okuningi kubukeka sengathi bekungasaziwa ngalutho. Akunjalo kakhulu e-United States.
Nge-1 kwamane amacala we-coronavirus nokufa emhlabeni wonke ngaphakathi kwemingcele yawo - amacala angu-4 afaka amacala amasha angama-2,510,000 nsuku zonke nokufa kwabantu abangu-44,000 - i-USA imbi kakhulu.
Ngangizisola ngokufunda nge-BBC ukuthi eNdiya, eDelhi manje sekuyindawo ethinteke kakhulu kuleliya lizwe, enamacala abalelwa ku-73,000 aqoshiwe eCovid-19 kanye nokufa kwabantu okungenani abayi-2,500.
IDelhi ibe nezinselelo eziningi kubandakanya uhulumeni ohlukanisiwe wasekhaya nowesifunda ongaboni ngaso linye ngaso sonke isikhathi kanye nabantu abantula intando yokulandela imihlahlandlela yenhlanzeko nezenhlalo. Futhi kungumbuso onemingcele eminingi okwenza ukuqukatha kube nzima.
EThailand, siphethwe kahle. Awekho amacala amasha we-coronavirus noma ukufa okubikwe isikhathi eside okushiya inani eliphelele emacaleni e-3,162 nokufa kwabantu abangu-58 kusukela ngoJanuwari. Akukho ukutheleleka okusha kwendawo izinsuku ezingama-31, futhi akukho ukufa okusha.
Sibe ngqongqo kakhulu, siphethe uhulumeni waseThailand oqinile, futhi sathobela kakhulu izakhamizi zayo ngisho nangesikhathi sokufika ekhaya, lapho sasisebenza.
Okwenzeka emhlabeni wonke kubalulekile eThailand. Kumele sihlale phansi sinake. KUNGANI?
Noma siyathanda noma cha siyathintana kakhulu. Ngamacala ayizigidi eziyi-10 emhlabeni wonke okungabantu abayi-1.5 kwabangu-100 abatheleleke nge-coronavirus GLOBALLY kanti eminye imibiko ithi iphakeme. Ngaphandle kweCovid-19 elawulwa emhlabeni jikelele sonke siyathinteka.
KUNGABOPHEKA yini ukuvula imingcele yethu nezikhumulo zezindiza eThailand kubavakashi abavela emhlabeni wonke lapho amazwe aseYurophu, eMelika, eMpumalanga Ephakathi, nase-Asia esabona izindawo ezidonsa kanzima nokufa kwe-coronavirus? Njengomuntu otshala imali eningi ekungeniseni izihambi nakwezokuvakasha ngiyenqena, kepha kufanele ngithi YEBO kungaba ukunganaki.
Ukube benginguNdunankulu waseThailand impendulo yami ingaba yini? Angicabangi ukuthi ngidinga ukuyipela.
Ngesonto elizayo kulindeleke ukuthi iThailand yenze izimemezelo eziningi ezinkulu. ICentre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) ngoMsombuluko izodalula imininingwane yokwehliswa kwemikhawulo yeSigaba 5, ezoqala ngomhla wokuqala kaJulayi. Ngaphandle komakhelwane bethu bomhlaba angiboni uhulumeni ebeka engcupheni wonke umsebenzi omuhle wezinsuku ezingama-95 ezedlule selokhu Isimo Sezimo Eziphuthumayo eThailand kwamenyezelwa ngomhlaka 26 Mashi 2020. Ngendlela engifisa ngayo ukube akunjalo - ngenxa yemisebenzi yezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha - uNdunankulu waseThailand ngeke agembule ngokuvula imingcele nezikhumulo zezindiza ngokuphelele. Kungaba yisinyathelo esinjalo esiyingozi.
Ngakhuthazwa nguMongameli weKhomishini yase-Europe u-Ursula von der Leyen lapho ekhuluma ngokugonywa wamemezela ukuthi i-European Union izokwenza konke okusemandleni ayo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi bonke abantu bakulo mhlaba bathola umuthi wokugoma, ongabonisi ukuthi bahlala kuphi. Uphinde wathi kufanele sikulungele ukukhiqiza nokusabalalisa umuthi wokugoma onjalo eYurophu nasemhlabeni jikelele. Ikakhulukazi emazweni ampofu. KUNGANI?
Ngoba naye uyakubona ukuxhumana kwethu. Ukuthi SONKE sixhumene. Akekho umuntu oyisiqhingi futhi kufanele sonke sidlale indima yethu ukuvikela umhlaba wethu owodwa, singabantu ababodwa. Sonke sixhumekile.
Ngingathanda ukusho ukuhamba okuphephile kodwa endaweni yayo ake ngithi:
Hlala uphephile, uhlale uphilile.
