Hawaii yiyona kuphela isiqhingi sase-United States. Ngaphezu kwe-Hawaii, i-United States iphinde ibe nezindawo eziyiziqhingi ezihlanganisa i-Guam, i-Northern Mariana Islands, i-American Samoa, i-Puerto Rico, kanye ne-US Virgin Islands.
Isifunda esiyisiqhingi esinjengeHawaii nezinye iziqhingi zaseziqhingini zikwazile ukuzivikela ekungeniseni leli gciwane eliyingozi kodwa zihlukaniswa buthule phakathi kukaHulumeni wase-US ufisa ukuvula kabusha izwe, ukuwa komnotho wabo, kanye nempilo yezakhamizi zabo.
Cishe kuzo zonke izimo, lokhu kuhlobene kakhulu nemboni yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha.
E-Hawaii njengesibonelo, izolo kufike abantu abangu-1,547 bevela ezindaweni ezingaphandle kwesifunda nezamazwe ngamazwe ezikhumulweni zezindiza zaseHawaii. Kulabo abafike izolo, abangu-495 bekuyizivakashi.
Izivakashi kufanele zivalele emakamelweni ehhotela amaviki ama-2. Abaningi bathi lo mthetho ubukeka umuhle ephepheni kodwa cishe akunakwenzeka ukuthi usetshenziswe. Ubani ongaya eholidini isonto noma amasonto amabili futhi aphoqeleke ukuba ahlale ehhotela? Kunemibiko yansuku zonke yezivakashi ezihlawuliswa noma ziboshwe, kodwa kwabafikayo abangama-495 kanye nesivakashi esinebhadi esi-1 esiboshwa ngosuku, wonke umuntu angakwazi ukwenza izibalo.
USenator waseMelika uSchatz ukuqinisekisile namuhla kuFacebook Q&A ukuthi iHawaii ingafunda ekwenyukeni okusha kwaleli gciwane ezindaweni ezishisayo. USenator uphinde waqinisekisa ukuthi iHawaii isiqhingi sisesimweni esingcono sokuzivikela ekungeniseni leli gciwane, kodwa ngasikhathi sinye, wenza isiqiniseko sokuthi akasoli izivakashi ngokwanda kancane kodwa kungazelelwe ezweni lakubo.
"Iningi lalabo abangenwe yileli gciwane lingene njengezakhamuzi ezibuyayo hhayi izivakashi," kusho uSchatz. Izakhamuzi ezibuyayo nazo kudingeka zibheke ukuvalelwa amaviki ama-2, kodwa ukuphoqelela okunjalo akunakwenzeka.
Abaphathi bakaTrump bebelokhu befuna ukuvula kabusha izwe okubangela ukwanda okushaqisayo kokusabalala kwegciwane.
Uhulumeni wase-US akakaze avimbe noma ubani ukuthi andize e-Hawaii, kodwa uMbusi waseHawaii u-Ige kanye neMeya yase-Honolulu uKirk Caldwell bayayibona le ngozi futhi benza konke okusemandleni abo ukubambezela ukwethulwa kabusha kwemboni yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha.
Ukuvumela ukuhamba kancane futhi lokho abakubiza ngokuthi ukubuya okuphephile kwamabhizinisi ukuthi kuvunyelwe ukuvula, iHawaii kube yizwe elibambe iqhaza kakhulu uma kukhulunywa ngokuvula kabusha umnotho wayo.
Emasontweni amathathu edlule, eTurboNews ubuze iMeya uCaldwell ukuthi ngabe ukubambezeleka kokucubungula ukubuya okusemthethweni kwezivakashi ngaphandle kokuvalelwa kwenziwa ngenhloso ukuze kubonakale imiphumela yokuvula ezokuvakasha kwezinye izifundazwe, njengeFlorida. UMeya uCaldwell uphendule ngokusobala, “Yebo.”
Namuhla, emasontweni ama-3 kamuva kubonakala ukuhlolwa kweFlorida ne-Arizona ukuvula umnotho kwehlulekile futhi kwabangela abaningi ukuthi bagule noma bafe.
Yini engayenza iHawaii? Ukugcina umnotho uvaliwe akuyona inketho. Umbuso awunazo zonke izinsiza zezimali ezisele.
Kubi kakhulu, ukuthi namuhla iMeya uCaldwell unxuse abantu bendawo ukuthi bavakashele iRoyal Palace eMelika kuphela, Iolani Palace e-Honolulu, ngakho-ke iSigodlo singakwazi ukugcina isiphephetha-moya sivuliwe futhi sigcine ingaphakathi labo. Imeya ixwayise wonke umuntu osebenzela iSigodlo ukuthi angaxoshwa. Idolobha alinayo imali yokugcina lesi sakhiwo esihle, futhi idolobha kanye neSifundazwe saseHawaii abanayo imali yokuqhubeka nokuvalwa kwemboni yezokuvakasha.
I-Iolani Palace nayo iyindawo eheha izivakashi enkulu, futhi iMeya ivumile ukuthi kufanele ibe isizinda Samagugu Omhlaba. Njengesizinda Samagugu Omhlaba se-UNESCO, kungase kube khona uxhaso lwamazwe ngamazwe, futhi ukukhanga kwalesi sakhiwo kungakhuphukela ezingeni lomhlaba wonke.
Lapho ibuzwa nge-US eshiya i-UNESCO, iMeya ithe kuyihlazo ukuthi iMelika ishiya i-UNESCO kanye neWorld Health Organisation.
Emasontweni amabili edlule, izitolo nezindawo zokudlela zavulwa kancane kancane eHawaii; kube nezinkumbi zabantu ebezingalindelekile okubalwa nezimashi zeBlack Lives Matter; kanye nokuvulwa kwamapaki olwandle, izitolo, nezindawo zokudlela okubangele ukwanda okuphezulu kakhulu kwamacala e-COVID-19 e-Oahu ngamacala angama-27 izolo nayi-18 ngosuku olwedlule.
Lezi zinombolo zilungile ngokuphelele futhi ziseyingxenye yalokho okwenzeka kuyo yonke i-United States. IFlorida idlula amacala amasha angama-3,822, i-Arizona ilandela ngama-3,246, kanti iTexas inamacala amasha angama-2,971.
Ukuvula i-Hawaii kwezokuvakasha kungase kube iphutha lesikhathi esifushane futhi kungase kubambezele “ukuvulwa kwangempela” nakakhulu uma kwenziwa ngokushesha okukhulu.
USenator Schatz, obhekene nokuntuleka kwemisebenzi okungama-22%, ubikezele ukuthi amakhulu ezinkulungwane zezakhamizi zaseHawaii eziyizigidi eziyi-1.4 zingaphoqeleka ukuthi zithuthele ezweni lase-US uma ezokuvakasha zingakwazi ukubuya maduze. Ngokusobala alukho uhlelo B olulungele ukuhamba Aloha Isho ngaphandle kwemboni yezokuvakasha neyokuvakasha. USenator akazange achaze ukuthi lokhu kuzokwenzani emnothweni, amahhotela, izindawo zokudlela, nengqalasizinda yezokuvakasha.
Ephinda lokho abantu abasembonini yezokuvakasha abakucabangayo, uSenator ukhulume ngamabhamuza ezokuvakasha, okusho ukuvula imigudu yokuhamba phakathi kwezifunda ezinezinombolo eziphansi zegciwane. Ukuthi lokhu kungahunyushwa kanjani eHawaii ngokuphepha, cishe wayengenawo umkhondo.
USenator waseHawaii manje ulandela itimu efanayo eyakhiwe nguHulumeni wase-US. Inguqulo esemthethweni ye-Schatz iyisitatimende sokubuya okuphephile kwemboni yezokuvakasha. Ehlukaniswe phakathi kwalokho okwaziwayo nokungaziwa, wengeze wathi: “Ayikho into ephephe ngokuphelele, kodwa ngeke sihlale sivaliwe kuze kube yilapho sekwenziwe umuthi wokugoma. Noma ngabe kukhiqizwa umuthi wokugoma, ngeke utholakale ngokushesha kuwo wonke umuntu.”
Uxwayise ngokuthi, "Lokhu kuzoba kubi kakhulu ngaphambi kokuba ngcono ngokwezezimali nakwezempilo."
Eqaphela lokho asanda kukusho, wanezela ngokushesha: “Asibona izwekazi. Lokhu singakwenza ndawonye. Adonse umoya kakhulu. Lokhu akuzona ezombangazwe. Asizigcine siphephile futhi kuvulwe imisebenzi nezikole.”
Ngaphandle kokusho kanjalo, ingabe uSenator ube nesikhalo esifihliwe? Ingabe lona bekuwumlayezo kanye nokugunyaza kokuthi iHawaii, Governor Ige, kanye neMeya uCaldwell bahambe kancane ngangokunokwenzeka?
Okusezithebeni kuyisinqumo sezempilo nomnotho, okuyisinqumo Hawaii, umnotho usho ezokuvakasha.
Abaphathi bakaTrump banqume ngezomnotho futhi bafaka ezokuvakasha zesifunda.
Amazwe manje saphoqeleka ukuthi anqumele umnotho, ikakhulukazi ngaphandle kwezinsiza ezanele zombuso nezendawo.
Kwabanye abaholi bezepolitiki, ukuqonda okunalokho okungokoqobo kungase kube kukhulu kakhulu ukuba kungafihlwa. Ngabe uSenator Schatz, iMeya uCaldwell, kanye noMbusi u-Ige bangabaholi bezepolitiki abanjalo? Ingabe bazakhela ifa iningi lalabo abaku Aloha State ungakaqondi?
Umbuzo omkhulu ngothi yini elandelayo, futhi “okulandelayo” kungabambezeleka kanjani ngaphandle kokuphula umnotho nempilo yabantu?
USenator Schatz, iMeya uCaldwell, kanye noMbusi u-Ige bonke bayavumelana ngendikimba eyodwa:
Gqoka imaski, geza izandla zakho, futhi ubuke ukuqhelelana komphakathi.
#ukwakha kabusha
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- The Senator also confirmed Hawaii as an island is in a better position to protect itself from bringing the virus in, but at the same time, he made sure not to blame tourists for the slow but sudden increase in his home state.
- It is so bad, that today Mayor Caldwell pleaded with locals to visit the only Royal Palace in the United States, Iolani Palace in Honolulu, so the Palace can keep the air-conditioning on and maintain their interior.
- Isifunda esiyisiqhingi esinjengeHawaii nezinye iziqhingi zaseziqhingini zikwazile ukuzivikela ekungeniseni leli gciwane eliyingozi kodwa zihlukaniswa buthule phakathi kukaHulumeni wase-US ufisa ukuvula kabusha izwe, ukuwa komnotho wabo, kanye nempilo yezakhamizi zabo.
