Inzuzo Phambi Kwabantu
Ngenkathi imboni yezokuvakasha ichithwe yi-COVID-19, ubuholi embonini buthule ngendlela emangalisayo. Ingxenye yebhizinisi enephrofayela ephezulu kakhulu? Imigqa ye-Cruise. Abaphathi abakaze baxolise ngokubamba iqhaza elikhulu ekudluliseleni leli gciwane ngobudedengu babo kanye nendlela yabo yokuphatha. Baphinde bashaya indiva izinkulungwane zabagibeli nabasebenzi abavaleleke olwandle bengenalo ithemba lokwehla emikhunjini babuyiselwe emakhaya. Kusukela ngomhlaka-11 Septhemba 2020, amatilosi angama-300,000 abambeke emikhunjini yokuhamba ngaphandle kosizo lwezokwelapha noma lwezezimali noma indlela yokubuyela emndenini nakubangane.
Abaphathi bezindiza bakhathazeke kakhulu nge-Wall Street namanani entengo yesitoko ehlayo kunokuzama ukuthola nokusebenzisa ubuchwepheshe obusha, izindawo ezilwa namagciwane kanye nezindlela zokuhlanza ezithuthukisiwe ezinganciphisa izinhlayiya ze-COVID-19 ohlelweni lwe-HVAC. Imithetho edingekayo ukuze kunqandwe abantu abagulayo ezindizeni zabo, ukuhlinzeka ngosizo lwezokwelashwa kubantu abakwazi ukunyonyoba ezindizeni, bagule futhi bafe, kanye nokuxwayisa abagibeli ngamagciwane asemkhunjini abagibeli abanaleli gciwane - zonke lezi zinyathelo azizange zishaywe indiva. Abaphathi baphinde bathule ngokubona nokuklomelisa amaSamariya alungile awenza umsebenzi okufanele ujutshwe ukuba yizisebenzi. I-cruise line kanye nezimboni zezindiza ngokuqinisekile zihola enkolelweni yokuthi inzuzo ibaluleke kakhulu kunabantu.
I-Vacuum yobuholi
Ngabe abaholi bomhlaba bekufanele bazi ukuthi kungenzeka kube nobhubhane olufana ne-COVID-19? Impendulo emfushane ithi YEBO! Iminyaka eminingi izikhungo zezempilo nezomnotho nezikhungo bezilokhu zixwayisa ngokwanda kwamathuba obhubhane oluyingozi emhlabeni. I-World Economic Forum (WEF) yabamba imihlangano futhi yaba nezingxoxo eziqhubekayo nochwepheshe bezombusazwe, abamabhizinisi kanye nokunakekelwa kwezempilo - ukuhlola ubungozi obubalulekile emnothweni womhlaba.
Ngo-2006, ngesikhathi sombiko wokuqala we-Global Risk Report, ubhubhane lwalungesinye sezimo ezine ezibalulekile zobungozi. Kuyathakazelisa ukuqaphela ukuthi ku-Global Risk Report ka-2020, izifo ezithathelwanayo zikleliswe endaweni yesithathu okungenzeka (ngemuva kwezikhali zokucekela phansi okukhulu kanye nokwehla kwamandla emali) kanye neshumi kumthelela ongaba khona futhi okuphawulwe njengenye yezingozi ezingaxhumene kakhulu. Kungani izifo eziwumshayabhuqe zithuthelwe kuma-back-burners?
Inhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba (i-WHO) iqale futhi yaxhumanisa impendulo kwa-SARS ngenethiwekhi yayo Yokuxwayisa Ngokuqubuka Kwezifo kanye Nezimpendulo (DOARN) ngokubambisana nezinhlangano ezisebenzisana nazo ezihlanganisa izinsizakalo zezempilo zikazwelonke eziyi-115, izikhungo zemfundo, izikhungo zobuchwepheshe kanye nabantu ngabanye. Le nethiwekhi yezempilo yomphakathi ekuqaleni yasungulwa ukuze ilawule ukuqubuka komkhuhlane nezinye izifo ezithathelwanayo futhi manje sekuyacaca ukuthi ukugada, ukucwaninga kanye nezindlela zokuvimbela eziqhutshwa ngamazwe ngamazwe, ukucwaninga nezindlela zokuvimbela zinciphise kakhulu ukusabalala kwe-SARS [THE NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS nap.edu/10915 ].
Ezinye izinhlangano zomhlaba nazo ziphakamise amafulegi ayisixwayiso futhi zakhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa kokulungela izifo eziwubhadane eziyingozi eziphikelelayo ezenza ukuhamba kwamanye amazwe kube yingozi yomuntu siqu futhi kufanele zilawulwe kakhulu ukuze kuvinjelwe ukusabalala kwalezi zingozi ezingase zibe khona; Nokho, ubuholi, ukubamba iqhaza kanye nezincomo ezivela ezimbonini zamahhotela, ezokuvakasha nezokuvakasha azikho ezingxoxweni.
Iyathelelana futhi Iyabulala
Nakuba umhlaba uye waphila phakathi kwezifo eziwumshayabhuqe nezifo eziwubhadane, futhi i-COVID-19 ibhekwa njengengatheleleki njengesimungumungwane futhi ayinamathuba okubulala umuntu onaleli gciwane njenge-EBOLA; kodwa-ke, nge-COVID, abantu baqala ukuchitha leli gciwane ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngaphambi kwezimpawu. Ngakho-ke, abantu abangenazimpawu badlulisela leli gciwane ngaphambi kokuba bazi ukuzehlukanisa bodwa noma bathathe ezinye izindlela (okungukuthi, ukuqhela ngokomzimba, ukugqoka imaski), ukuvikela umndeni nabangane.
Kusukela ngoDisemba 26, 2020, kube namacala ayi-79.9M nokufa kwabantu abangu-1.75 ngenxa ye-COVID-19 [nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/new-york-coronavirus-cases.html] kanye ne-International Labour Organisation (ILO) yabikezela ukuthi imisebenzi eyizigidi ezingama-25 iye yasongelwa yileli gciwane elisha.
