Njengoko i-COVID-19 yaqala ukungena kwiSibhedlele saseBoston ngoMatshi ka-2020, ndandingumfundi wezonyango owenza unyaka wesine kwaye ndagqiba umjikelo wokugqibela wekliniki. Emuva xa ukusebenza kokunxiba imaski kwakusephantsi kwengxoxo, ndayalelwa ukuba ndilandele abaguli abangena kwigumbi likaxakeka kuba izikhalazo zabo zazingeyonto yokuphefumla. Endleleni yam yokuya kwishifti nganye, ndabona indawo yovavanyo lwexeshana ikhula njengesisu esikhulelweyo kwindawo yokusebenzela esibhedlele, kunye neefestile ezininzi ezisemthethweni ezivulelekileyo ezigubungela yonke imisebenzi ngaphakathi. "Izigulana ezirhanelwa nge-COVID ziya kubona ugqirha kuphela." Ngobunye ubusuku, xa wayesula imonitha, impuku kunye nebhodi yezitshixo ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo zokusula iintsholongwane, umhlali oyintloko waxelela abasebenzi balapho-eli sisithethe esitsha esiphawula utshintsho kwiishifti.
Yonke imihla kwigumbi likaxakeka uziva ngathi ukudansa ngokungenakuphepheka. Njengoko zisanda izikolo zonyango zirhoxisa izifundo, ngalo lonke ixesha ndidibana nesigulana, ndivakalelwa kukuba eli inokuba lixesha lam lokugqibela njengomfundi. Kumfazi owaphantse wafa isiqaqa xa wayesexesheni, ngaba ndiye ndaqwalasela bonke oonobangela bokopha okungaqhelekanga kwesibeleko? Ngaba ndiphosakele umbuzo obalulekileyo wokubuza isigulane esinentlungu ebuhlungu ngokukhawuleza? Nangona kunjalo, ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa ngubhubhane, akunakwenzeka ukugxila kuphela kule miba yeklinikhi. Ukugubungela olu loyiko lokuphumelela ngaphandle kokufunda yonke into ngumbuzo phantse wonke umntu osesibhedlele anexhala ngawo: Ngaba ndiza kuyifumana i-coronavirus? Ngaba ndiza kuyidlulisela kulowo ndimthandayo? Kum, yintoni enye into yokuzicingela-ithetha ukuthini ngomtshato wam ngoJuni?
Xa ukujikeleziswa kwam ekugqibeleni kwarhoxiswa ngasekupheleni kwaloo nyanga, akukho mntu wayevuya njengenja yam. (Iqabane lam lisemva ngasemva.) Ngalo lonke ixesha ndigoduka ndiphuma emsebenzini, nje ukuba kuvulwe ucango lwangaphambili, ubuso bakhe obunoboya buya kutyhilwa kwintanda yocango lwangaphambili, umsila wakhe utswina, iinyawo zam ziyangcangcazela, ndikhulule iimpahla zam ndatsibela kwi shower Between. Xa umsitho waphelayo ngokunqunyanyiswa kweshifti yesikolo sobugqirha, injana yethu yayivuyela ukukhulula abantu bayo ababini ukuba bagoduke ngaphezu kokuba sasikhe saba nabo ngaphambili. Iqabane lam, uGqirha wezoNyango. Umfundi, osandula ukwenza uviwo lwesiqinisekiso, waqala uphando lwakhe lwecandelo-ngenxa yobhubhane, lo msebenzi ngoku ugcinwe ngokungenasiphelo. Ngexesha lethu elitsha, sizifumana sihamba nenja ngelixa sifunda ukugcina ngokufanelekileyo umgama wentlalo. Kungexesha lohambo apho sisebenza nzima ukufunda iinkcukacha ezifihlakeleyo zemitshato yeenkcubeko ezimbini eziye zibenzima kakhulu.
Ekubeni ngamnye wethu unogqirha wabantwana kamama - ngamnye kuthi uzuze omnye umntu - kukho izimvo ezininzi malunga nendlela engcono yokubhiyozela umanyano lwabantwana babo. Yintoni eyayifudula ibe ngumtshato ongeyiyo eyehlelo ngokuthe ngcembe yaguquka yaba sisenzo esintsonkothileyo sokulinganisa, ngokuhlonipha iqabane lam iPacific Northwest kunye neengcambu zamaProtestanti kunye nezam izithethe zaseSri Lankan/zamaBhuda. Xa sifuna umhlobo ukuba akhokele kumsitho omnye, ngamanye amaxesha sifumana abefundisi abathathu abohlukeneyo ukuba bongamele imisitho yenkolo emibini eyahlukeneyo. Umbuzo wokuba ngowuphi umsitho oza kuba ngumsitho osesikweni awucacanga kangako njengoko ungqalile. Ukuthatha ixesha lokuphanda izikimu zemibala eyahlukeneyo, indawo yokuhlala yasekhaya kunye nokunxiba kwanele ukusenza sizibuze ukuba ngowabani umtshato.
Xa mna neqabane lam sasidiniwe yaye sele sijonge phandle, kwafika ubhubhane. Kuzo zonke iindawo ekuphikiswana kuzo kucwangciso lomtshato, uxinzelelo kwiimviwo zesiqinisekiso semfundo kunye nezicelo zokuhlala ziyakhula. Xa sihamba nenja, sasidla ngokuqhula sisithi impambano yentsapho yakowethu yayiza kusiqhubela ekubeni sitshate kwinkundla yesixeko ngokungxama. Kodwa ngokuvalwa okuqhubekayo kunye nokwanda kwamatyala ngoMatshi, sibona ukuba amathuba omtshato wethu ngoJuni aya encipha. Kolu hambo lwangaphandle, ukhetho olwathabatha iiveki lube yinto yokwenene kuba sasebenza nzima ukugcina injana ikude ngeemitha ezintandathu kubantu abadlulayo. Ngaba kufuneka silinde de ubhubhane uphele, asazi ukuba uya kuphela nini? Okanye ngaba sifanele sitshate ngoku kwaye sinethemba lokuba namatheko kwixesha elizayo?
Into eyabangela ukuba isigqibo sethu kukuba xa iqabane lam laliqala ukuba namaphupha amabi, ndalaliswa esibhedlele ngenxa ye-COVID-19, kubandakanya neentsuku ezininzi zenkxaso yokuphefumla ye-ICU, kwaye usapho lwam lwalunobunzima bokundisusa kwi-ventilator. Xa ndandiza kuphumelela kunye nokufundela umsebenzi, kwakukho uthotho lwabasebenzi bezonyango kunye nezigulana ezazibulawa yile ntsholongwane. Iqabane lam lanyanzelisa ukuba siza kuyiqwalasela le meko. “Ndifuna ukwenza ezi zigqibo. Ndicinga ukuba kuthetha ukuba kufuneka sitshate - ngoku. "
Ngoko siye sayenza. Ngentsasa ebandayo eBoston, sahamba saya kwiHolo yeSixeko ukuya kugcwalisa isicelo sethu sesatifikethi somtshato ngaphambi komtshato we-impromptu kwiintsuku ezimbalwa kamva. Ukujonga imozulu yale veki, sibeke umhla oza kuba nguLwesibini onethuba elincinane lemvula. Sithumele i-imeyile ekhawulezileyo kwiindwendwe zethu sibhengeza ukuba umsitho obonakalayo unokusasazwa kwi-Intanethi. Uthixo wentombi yam wavuma ngesisa ukuba aqhube umtshato ngaphandle kwekhaya lakhe, kwaye sobathathu sachitha ixesha elininzi lobusuku bangoMvulo sibhala izibhambathiso kunye nemibhiyozo. Xa sasiphumle kusasa ngoLwesibini, sasidinwe gqitha kodwa sivuya kakhulu.
Ukhetho lokukhetha eli nqanaba liphambili kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zokucwangcisa kunye neendwendwe ezingama-200 ukuya kumsitho omncinci osasazwa kwi-Wi-Fi engazinzanga abukho ngqiqweni, kwaye oku kunokubonakaliswa kakuhle xa sikhangela iintyatyambo: sinokufumana Eyona nto ingcono yi-cactus evela. CVS. Ngethamsanqa, oku kwakukuphela komqobo ngaloo mini (abanye abamelwane baqokelela iidaffodils kwicawa yasekuhlaleni). Bambalwa abantu abakude nentlalontle, kwaye nangona usapho lwethu kunye nezalamane zikude kakhulu kwi-Intanethi, sonwabile-siyavuya kuba silususile ngandlela thile uxinzelelo lokucwangciswa komtshato kunye nexhala le-COVID-19. Kwaye intshabalalo yayandisa olu xinzelelo kwaye yangena kwimini apho sinokuqhubela phambili. Kwintetho yakhe yeparade, uthixo weqabane lam ucaphule inqaku lakutshanje nguArundhati Roy. Wathi: “Ngokwembali, oobhubhani baye banyanzela abantu ukuba bahlukane nexesha elidluleyo baze bacinge ngokutsha ngehlabathi labo. Oku akwahlukanga. Yi-portal lisango phakathi kwehlabathi kunye nelinye. ”
Kwiintsuku ezisemva komtshato, sayikhankanya le portal ngaphandle kokudinwa, sinethemba lokuba ngokuthatha la manyathelo angcangcazelayo, siyayamkela isiphithiphithi kunye nelahleko engenakulinganiswa eshiywe yi-coronavirus - kodwa ungawuvumeli ubhubhane ukuba usimise ngokupheleleyo. Ukuthingaza kuyo yonke le nkqubo, sithandazela ukuba senze into elungileyo.
Xa ekugqibeleni ndafumana ikontraka ye-COVID ngoNovemba, iqabane lam lalikhulelwe phantse iiveki ezingama-30. Kwiinyanga ezimbalwa zokuqala ndilaliswe esibhedlele, ndalala esibhedlele. Ndeva iintlungu nomkhuhlane ndaza ndajongwa ngosuku olulandelayo. Ndathi ndakukhunjuzwa ngeziphumo ezincumisayo, ndandilila ndedwa xa ndandizimele ndedwa kumandlalo womoya owawuza kuba yinkulisa yethu esandul’ ukuzalwa. Iqabane lam kunye nenja yayikwelinye icala lodonga lwegumbi lokulala, bezama konke okusemandleni am ukuba kude nam.
Sinethamsanqa. Kukho idatha ebonisa ukuba i-COVID inokuzisa umngcipheko omkhulu kunye neengxaki kwabasetyhini abakhulelweyo, ukuze iqabane lam lihlale lingenantsholongwane. Ngoncedo lwethu, ulwazi, kunye namalungelo enethiwekhi, samkhupha kwigumbi lethu ngelixa bendigqibezela ukuvalelwa. Izifundo zam zilungile kwaye ziyazibekela umda, kwaye andikude ukuba ndifune isixhobo sokungenisa umoya. Kwiintsuku ezilishumi emva kokuba iimpawu zam ziqalile, ndavunyelwa ukuba ndibuyele ewadini.
Into ebambekayo asikokuphelelwa ngumoya okanye ukudinwa kwemisipha, kodwa bubunzima bezigqibo esizenzayo. Ukususela kwincopho yomtshato wethu wethutyana, sasikhangele phambili kwinto eyayiza kukhangeleka ngayo ikamva. Ukungena ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-30 ubudala, sele siza kungenisa usapho lwezonyango oluphindwe kabini, kwaye sibona ifestile eguquguqukayo iqala ukuvala. Isicwangciso sangaphambi kobhubhani yayikukuzama ukuba nabantwana ngokukhawuleza emva komtshato, sithathe ithuba lokuba mnye kuphela wethu ophila kunyaka onzima ngexesha. Njengoko i-COVID-19 isiya ixhaphaka, siye sanqumama saza saphonononga lo mgca wexesha.
Ngaba singayenza ngokwenene le nto? Ngaba sifanele siyenze le nto? Ngeli xesha, ubhubhane awukhange ubonakalise zimpawu zokuphela, kwaye sasingaqinisekanga ukuba ukulinda kuya kuba ziinyanga okanye iminyaka. Ngenxa yokungabikho kwezikhokelo ezisesikweni zesizwe zokulibaziseka okanye ukulandela ukukhawulwa, iingcali zisandula ukucebisa ukuba ulwazi lwethu nge-COVID-19 lusenokungafanelanga ukuba senze ingcebiso esesikweni, ebanzi malunga nokuba ungakhulelwa na ngeli xesha. Ukuba sinokulumka, uxanduva kunye nengqiqo, ngoko ubuncinane akukho ngqiqweni ukuzama? Ukuba siyazoyisa iimbandezelo zosapho kwaye sitshate kwesi siphithiphithi, ngaba singathabatha inyathelo elilandelayo ebomini kunye ngaphandle kokungaqiniseki kobhubhane?
Njengoko abantu abaninzi bebelindele, asazi ukuba kuya kuba nzima kangakanani na. Ukuya nam esibhedlele yonke imihla ukuze ndikhusele iqabane lam kuye kwandothusa ngakumbi. Ukhohlokhohlo ngalunye olufihlakeleyo luvuse umdla wabantu. Xa sidlula kubamelwane abangazinxibanga izigqubuthelo zobuso, okanye xa silibele ukuhlamba izandla zethu xa singena endlwini, sisuka soyike ngequbuliso. Zonke izilumkiso eziyimfuneko ziye zathathwa ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukhuseleko abasetyhini abakhulelweyo, kubandakanywa xa ukuthandana , kunzima kum ukuba ndingabonakalisi kwi-ultrasound yeqabane lam kunye novavanyo-nangona ndilinde kwimoto epakiweyo kunye nenja ekhonkothayo Feel some connection. . Xa unxibelelwano lwethu oluphambili luba lwenyani kunokuba lujongane ubuso ngobuso, kuba nzima kakhulu ukulawula okulindelwe lusapho lwethu - oluye lwaqhelana nenxaxheba -. Umnini-mhlaba wethu wagqiba ekubeni alungise iyunithi ngequbuliso kwindlu yethu eneentsapho ezininzi, nto leyo eyandisa uxinzelelo lwethu.
Kodwa ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, eyona nto ibuhlungu kukwazi ukuba ndiye ndabhenca umfazi wam kunye nomntwana ongekazalwa kwi-COVID-19 kunye ne-pathology enzima kunye ne-sequelae. Kwi-trimester yakhe yesithathu, iiveki esizichithe sahlukene bezinikelwe ekujongeni iimpawu zakhe, elinde ngoloyiko iziphumo zovavanyo, kunye nokuphawula ngeentsuku zokuba yedwa de sibe kunye kwakhona. Xa usana lwakhe lokugqibela lwempumlo lwalungenayo, saziva sikhululekile kwaye sidiniwe kunangaphambili.
Xa sasibala iintsuku ngaphambi kokuba sibone unyana wethu, mna neqabane lam sasingaqinisekanga ukuba siya kuphinda siphinde. Ngokwazi kwethu, wafika ekuqaleni kukaFebruwari, ekhuselekile emehlweni ethu, ukuba indlela efike ngayo ayiphelelanga. Nangona sichulumancile yaye sinombulelo ngokuba ngabazali, siye safunda ukuba kulula kakhulu ukuthi “ndenze” ngexesha lobhubhani kunokusebenza nzima ukwakha intsapho emva kobhubhani. Xa abantu abaninzi belahlekelwe zizinto ezininzi, ukongeza omnye umntu ebomini bethu kuya kuba netyala elithile. Njengoko umsinga wobhubhane uqhubeka uwohloka, uqukuqela kwaye uvela, sinethemba lokuba ukuphuma kwale portal kuya kubonakala. Xa abantu kwihlabathi liphela beqala ukucinga malunga nendlela i-coronavirus ejikisa ngayo amazembe ehlabathi - kwaye becinga ngezigqibo, ukungazinzi kunye nokungakhethi okwenziwa kwisithunzi sobhubhane - siya kuqhubeka nokuvavanya zonke iintshukumo kwaye siqhubele phambili ngononophelo. phambili, kwaye ngoku ihambela phambili ngesantya somntwana. ixesha.
