Sekucishe kube unyaka kusukela ukuphakama kwe-Zika frenzy-inani lamacala lalikhuphuka kakhulu, uhlu lwezindlela igciwane elalingasakazeka lalikhula, futhi nemiphumela yezempilo engaba khona yayisabeka futhi isabeka. Futhi konke lokhu kwakungaphambi nje kwama-Olimpiki asehlobo eRio de Janiero, eBrazil, indawo eshisayo yomiyane abathwala iZika. (U-Obv, obangela ukwesaba kwabathile base-Olimpiki, abanqume ukweqa le Midlalo ngokuphelele ukuze bahlale bephephile.)

Izindaba Ezimbi: Iziphambeko Zokuzalwa Ezihlobene neZika

Umbiko omusha ovela kwaCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) uthole ukuthi amaphesenti angu-5 abesifazane ezindaweni zase-U.S. ababenokutheleleka ngegciwane leZika okuqinisekisiwe ngesikhathi bekhulelwe babenengane noma umbungu onamaphutha ahlobene neZika. Lokhu kubandakanya i-microcephaly (ikhanda elincane ngokungavamile), ukulimala kobuchopho neso, ukunyakaza okukhawulelwe ngenxa yokungajwayelekile kwemisipha noma ukukhula kwamalunga, kanye nesifo sesimiso sezinzwa esingavamile esibizwa ngokuthi i-Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). Ngasekupheleni kukaMeyi 2017, isibalo samanje sabesifazane abakhulelwe abaneZika ezindaweni zase-US sifinyelele ku-3,916, futhi bekukhona izinsana ezingama-72 ezizalwe zinokukhubazeka okuhlobene nokuzalwa kukaZika kusukela ekukhulelweni okuqediwe okungu-1,579.

Abesifazane abangenwe yi-trimester yabo yokuqala babe nengozi enkulu kakhulu-i-1 kwezingu-12-yombungu wabo noma ingane enokukhubazeka okuhlobene ne-Zika. Ngokombiko we-CDC, cishe amaphesenti ayisishiyagalombili okutheleleka nge-trimester yokuqala, amaphesenti ama-5 wesifo sesibili, kanye namaphesenti ama-4 okutheleleka kwe-trimester yesithathu kuholele kumaphutha ahlobene neZika.

Izindaba Ezinhle: I-Zika Alert Level yamanje

Kungenzeka ukuthi lolu bhubhane seluzophuma ngokusemthethweni. Umbusi wasePuerto Rico umemezele muva nje ukuthi ubhadane lweZika virus seluphelile ngokusemthethweni kulesi siqhingi, ngokusho kweReuters. Yize iPuerto Rico ibe nokuqubuka okungaphezu kuka-40K sekukonke, kube namacala ayi-10 asanda kubikwa kusukela ekupheleni kuka-Ephreli. Lokho akusho ukuthi uZika unyamalele ngokumangalisayo ku-PR, noma kunjalo. I-CDC isancoma isexwayiso sohambo esiku-Level 2 esiphuzi "nokuthi" abantu "benza izindlela zokuphepha ezithuthukisiwe."

Futhi, izexwayiso zokuhamba ze-Level 2 zeBrazil nendawo yaseMiami zisusiwe ngokusemthethweni, okusho ukuthi, yize amacala angavamile ukwenzeka, ingozi yokudluliswa kungenzeka iphansi kakhulu. Kepha ungakhiphi imithwalo yakho okwamanje. I-CDC isabheka amanye amazwe amaningi ukuthi abeke ingozi yokuhamba ye-Level 2, kufaka phakathi iMexico, i-Argentina, iBarbados, i-Aruba, iCosta Rica, namanye amazwe amaningi aseCaribbean, eNingizimu naseMelika Ephakathi, e-Asia nase-Afrika. IBrownsville, TX, idolobha elingasemngceleni waseMexico, ukuphela kwendawo e-U.S. esenesixwayiso seLeveli 2. (Buka uhlu olugcwele lwezincomo zohambo lwe-CDC Zika nezixwayiso khona lapha, kanye nesiqondiso semikhuba ephephile ye-Zika ezindaweni zeLeveli 2 kanye nezindawo lapho ukuqokwa kweLeveli 2 kuphakanyiswe khona.)

Kusho Ukuthini Lokho Ngengozi Yakho Ye-Zika

Ungadonsa umoya. Asisekho phakathi kovalo oluhlanyayo lukaZika. Kodwa-ke, igciwane aliqedwa ngokuphelele, ngakho-ke kusafanele uthathe izinyathelo zokuphepha-ikakhulukazi uma ukhulelwe.

Okokuqala, xubha la maqiniso we-Zika virus adingeka ukwazi. Kuningi okuqondwayo ngaleli gciwane manje kunangesikhathi liqala ukuphuma, kufaka phakathi iqiniso lokuthi lingasakazeka njenge-STD, lingaphila emehlweni akho, futhi lingahle libe nemiphumela emibi ebuchosheni obudala. Uma uhambela izwe elisenesixwayiso se-Level 2 noma lapho kusanda kuphakanyiswa khona, kusamele unakekele ukuvimbela ukulunywa omiyane nokwenza ucansi oluphephile. (Okufanele ngabe uyakwenza noma kunjalo, i-TBH.)
