Kulezi zinsuku, kubukeka sengathi awukwazi ukuskena izindaba ngaphandle kokubona isihloko esikhulu esihlobene ne-COVID-19. Futhi nakuba okuhlukile kwe-Delta okuthathelwana kakhulu kusekuningi ku-radar yawo wonke umuntu, kubonakala sengathi kunokunye okuhlukile ochwepheshe bezempilo bomhlaba wonke abaqaphayo. (Okuhlobene: Iyini i-C.1.2 COVID-19 Variant?)

Okuhlukile kwe-B.1.621, okwaziwa kangcono ngokuthi i-Mu, kufakwe ohlwini lweNhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba wonke okuhlukile kwe-SARS-CoV-2 okuthakaselayo, okuyizinhlobonhlobo "ezinoshintsho lwezakhi zofuzo okubikezelwa ukuthi luzothinta izici zegciwane," njengokudluliswa nokudluliswa kwegciwane. ubulukhuni besifo, phakathi kwezinye izici. Kusukela ngoMsombuluko, Agasti 30, i-WHO ibheke kakhulu ukusabalala kweMu. Nakuba intuthuko mayelana ne-Mu isaqhubeka, nansi incazelo yalokho okwaziwayo okwamanje mayelana nokwehluka.

I-Mu Variant yaqala nini futhi kuphi?

Ukwahlukahluka kukaMu kwaqala ukubonakala ngokulandelana kwe-genomic (inqubo esetshenziswa ososayensi ukuhlaziya amagciwane egciwane) eColombia emuva ngoJanuwari. Njengamanje kubalwa cishe amaphesenti angama-40 amacala akuleli, ngokusho kombiko wakamuva wamasonto onke ovela ku-WHO. Yize amanye amacala ebikiwe kwenye indawo (okubandakanya iNingizimu Melika, iYurophu, kanye ne-U.S., ngokusho Unogada), UVivek Cherian, MD, udokotela wezokwelapha wangaphakathi ohlangene ne-University of Maryland Medical System, utshela Umumo kusesekuseni kakhulu ukukhathazeka ngokungadingekile ngoMu. "Kumayelana nokuthi ukwanda kokuhlukahluka eColombia kuyanda njalo, yize ukusabalala komhlaba wonke kungaphansi kwamaphesenti ayi-0.1," utshela Umumo. (Okuhlobene: Kuyini Ukutheleleka Kwe-COVID-19?

Ingabe i-Mu Variant iyingozi?

Nge-Mu njengamanje efakwe ohlwini njengenye yezintshisekelo ezahlukahlukene ze-WHO, kuyaqondakala uma uzizwa ungazinzile. Kepha futhi kufanele wazi ukuthi, njengamanje, iZikhungo Zokulawulwa Kwezifo Nokuvimbela azikabhalisi i-Mu ngaphansi kokuhlukahluka kwayo kokuthakaselayo noma okuhlukahlukene kokukhathazeka (okubandakanya okuhlukahlukene, okufana neDelta, okunobufakazi bokwanda kokudluliseka, izifo ezinzima kakhulu , nokunciphisa ukusebenza emithini yokugoma).

Ngokuqondene nokwakheka kuka-Mu, i-WHO iphawula ukuthi okuhlukile "kunochungechunge lwezinguquko ezibonisa izici ezingaba khona zokuphunyuka kwamasosha omzimba." Lokhu kusho ukuthi ukuzivikela onakho njengamanje (okutholakala ngomuthi wokugoma noma ukuzivikela kwemvelo ngemva kokuba negciwane) kungenzeka ngeke lisebenze ngempumelelo uma kuqhathaniswa nezinkinga zangaphambilini noma igciwane lasekuqaleni lakwa-SARS-CoV-2 (i-Alpha variant), ngenxa yokuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo okukhonjwe kulolu hlobo oluthile, kusho uDkt Cherian. Ukwelashwa kwe-Monoclonal antibody, okusetshenziselwa i-COVID-19 emaphakathi kuya kokumaphakathi, kungase kungasebenzi kahle uma kuqhathaniswa nokwahluka kwe-Mu, usho kanje. "Konke lokhu kusekelwe ekubuyekezweni kwedatha yokuqala ebonise ukusebenza okunciphile kwamasosha omzimba atholwe ekugomeni noma ekuchayekeni kwangaphambili."

Ngokuqondene nobukhali nokusabalala kwe-Mu? I-WHO "isemkhankasweni wokuqoqa imininingwane eminingi, ezonquma amandla okwehlukahlukana okubanga izifo ezinzima kakhulu, idluliselwe kalula noma inciphise ukusebenza kahle kwezindlela zokwelapha noma imigomo, nokuyinto ekhathaza abantu manje" ngokusho kukaDkt Cherian. Uma kubhekwa ukuthi ukwahluka kwe-Delta kukhule ngokushesha kangakanani emhlabeni wonke, "impela kunethuba lokuthi [u-Mu] angathuthukiswa abe okuhlukile okukhathazayo," esho.

Noma kunjalo, uyaphinda ukuthi "ekugcineni, konke lokhu kusekelwe olwazini lwangaphambili, futhi isikhathi esiningi nedatha kuyadingeka ukwenza noma yisiphi isitatimende esiqondile mayelana nokuhluka kwe-Mu." Kusesekuseni kakhulu ukusho ukuthi u-Mu uzoba yini umehluko okhathazayo kubantu baseMelika abagonywe ngokugcwele. "Ngeke wenze okuvelayo kusuka ekutheni uMu ubalwe njengenye yezintshisekelo," esho.

Okufanele Ukwenze NgoMu

“Ikhono legciwane ukuba lilawule ekugcineni lincike ezicini ezimbili eziyinhloko: ukuthi igciwane lithathelwana/lithathelwana kanjani nokuthi lisebenza ngempumelelo kangakanani ekubangeleni izifo ezinzima noma ukufa,” kusho uDkt. Cherian. "Ukuguqulwa kwamagciwane kuyenzeka njalo, futhi ekugcineni noma yikuphi ukuguquka kwezakhi ezithile okubangela uhlobo oluthile ukuthi lusuleleke kakhulu noma lube yingozi kakhulu (noma okubi kakhulu, zombili), maningi amathuba okuthi babe nethuba eliphakeme lokuba namandla."

Njengamanje, imigqa yezokuvikela ehamba phambili ifaka ukugqoka imaski emphakathini nasendlini uma ungekho nabantu abavela ekhaya lakho, ukuqeda imithamo yakho yokugoma, nokuthola i-booster shot lapho ufanelekile (ie izinyanga eziyisishiyagalombili ngemuva komthamo wakho wesibili wokugoma wePfizer- Abamukeli be-BioNTech noma beModerna, ngokusho kwe-CDC). Lawa angamanye amathuluzi asebenza kahle kakhulu ukukusiza ukuthi ugcine i-COVID-19 nakho konke okuhlukile kwayo kude. (FYI: UJohnson &Johnson hive, ama-booster recs akho asendleleni maduze.)

Imininingwane ekule ndaba inembile njengesikhathi sokushicilela. Njengoba izibuyekezo mayelana ne-coronavirus COVID-19 ziqhubeka nokuvela, kungenzeka ukuthi ulwazi oluthile nezincomo kule ndaba kushintshile kusukela ekushicilelweni kokuqala. Sikukhuthaza ukuthi uhlole njalo izinsiza ezifana ne-CDC, i-WHO, kanye nomnyango wezempilo womphakathi wendawo ukuze uthole imininingwane yakamuva nezincomo.
