Ukuqhomfa kunye ne-COVID-19: ubhubhane amabini ngamanani
Ukusukela ngo-1973, zingama-61.628.584, XNUMX, XNUMX izisu eMelika, ubhubhane ongazange ubonwe
Kukho isizathu sokuba uMark Twain abhale ukuba ezi nyaniso zintathu "zibubuxoki, buxoki kunye neenkcukacha-manani". Nje ukuba udlule kula manani angasentla, ungathembela kwiminwe yakho eli-10, eqala ukungafumaneki. Ngaphandle kokubala kuqala, zama ukucinga ngomfanekiso wabantu abali-12 entlokweni yakho. Ngoku bala ukuba bangaphi abantu abakwifoto yakho. Uqikelelo lwam kukuba ubuncinci kwisiqingatha sakho uya kuba ucinga ngaphantsi okanye ngaphezulu.
Njengokuba amanani esonyuka, baye bangabonakali. Ndiyakhumbula, kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo, ndihleli kubunzima bangoMgqibelo ebusuku, ndibethwa yindlela ababembalwa ngayo abantu ecaweni xa kuthelekiswa nobukhulu bayo. Ndiqikelele ukuba bekukho abantu abangama-40 phaya, kodwa, behleli kumqolo ongasemva, ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndibalwe. Ngokwenyani babekho abangama-26.
Ngoku ndiyazi ukuba kusenokwenzeka ukuba uSenator ongasekhoyo u-Everett Dirksen wayethetha ntoni nge-aphorism eyaziwa kakhulu kuye: "ibhiliyoni apha kunye nebhiliyoni apho, kwaye kungekudala kuya kuthethwa ngemali yokwenene."
Makhe ndithethe ngamanye amanani namhlanje kwaye ndizame ukubenza bangabonakali.
Makhe sithethe nge-COVID-19. Abantu abaninzi basweleke ukusukela ebusika obudlulileyo. Mingaphi imixholo yengxoxo-mpikiswano. Amaziko oLawulo lweZifo athi sawela amanqaku angama-200.000 ngasekupheleni kukaSeptemba.
Kunzima ukufumana intloko ejikeleze i-200.000. Ke masiyiphule.
Ukuba ukufa kwabantu abangama-200.000 bekuya kwenzeka kunyaka nje omnye, kuyakufuneka kubekhona ukufa kube kanye kwimizuzu emithathu (ngokuchanekileyo, malunga nayo yonke imizuzu emi-2 kunye nemizuzwana engama-38, kodwa loo nto ayibonakali).
Oku kuninzi. Umndilili waseMelika uthatha imizuzu esibhozo ukuhlamba. Xa ephuma eshaweni, phantse abantu abathathu belizwe lakhe baswelekile.
Ukungasetyenziswa kubhubhane kwaye sinamathele ixesha elide, sibethwe bubungakanani belo nani. Abezopolitiko sele befuna iivoti ngokusekwe "kwizicwangciso" zabo zokulwa isifo esasulelayo. Sikhathazekile. Siza kuthetha ngayo.
Ngoku, masiqwalasele elinye inani.
IKomidi likaZwelonke leLungelo lokuPhila liqikelela inani lokuqhomfa ngo-2018-19 (iinkcukacha-manani ezisuka kwixesha elidlulileyo zinokukhutshelwa ngaphandle) ngama-862.320 ngonyaka. Eli nani libonakala lichanekile, lihambelana neZiko loCwangciso loMzali eGuttmacher. Kuya kufuneka bazi: sisonka sabo kunye nebhotolo (okanye isaladi kunye nekhabernet).
Kunzima ukufumana intloko ejikeleze i-862.000. Ke masiyiphule.
Ukuba ukusweleka kwabantu abangama-862.000 bekuya kwenzeka kunyaka omnye, kuyakufuneka kubekhona ukufa kube kanye qho ngomzuzu (ngokuchanekileyo, malunga nayo yonke imizuzwana engama-37, kodwa loo nto ayibonakali).
Oku kuninzi. Sinovakalelo olukhulu kwindlela i-COVID eyonakalisa ngayo iMelika. Kodwa xa kusweleke umntu omnye kwi-COVID, ezine zenzekile ukusuka ekuqhomfeni kwaye okwesihlanu kuyaqhubeka.
Okanye ukuyibeka ngenye indlela, xa uphuma kwishower yakho yesiqhelo, baphantse bathathu abafayo kwi-COVID kwaye baphantse babe li-13 ukusuka ekuphumeni kwesisu.
Sele siqhelile ubhubhane wokuqhomfa, ngokuhlala nayo iminyaka engama-47, siyekile ukucinga malunga nelo nani. Abezopolitiko bade bafune iivoti ngokusekwe "kwizicwangciso" zabo zokuyandisa. Asinaxhala. Asithethi ngayo.
Cinga ngalo thelekiso: Ukuba bonke abantu baseMelika abasweleke nge-COVID ukuza kuthi ga ngoku banokufa ngesantya kunye nokuphindaphinda kwesisu, irhafu yokuphunza ithatha de kube ngu-Disemba 31 ukufikelela kuyo iya kufikelelwa yi-COVID nge-29 ka-Matshi.
Abaxhasi bezisu, ewe, baya kuyityeshela le mpikiswano. Bangatsho ukuba ndixuba ii-apile kunye neeorenji, kuba akukho "kufa" kukhutshwa isisu, nokuba bayala ngenkani ukuthetha malunga nokuba ubomi bomntu buqala nini kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo bayala inyani yenzululwazi yokuba iqala ekukhawulweni.
Kubantu abakulungeleyo ukumamela isayensi kuneengcinga, la manani kufuneka apholise, ngakumbi xa eqhawulwe yi-abstract. Masiyeke ukuvumela iingcamango zokuqhomfa ezikhuthaza impikiswano.
Njengokuba sichaphazelekile sisibalo sokufa se-COVID, siqhelene nokuqhomfa kuba siye sagqiba ekubeni singayithathi njengobhubhane wesizwe.
Ndivumele ukuba ndibonelele ngenye into eyonakeleyo yekhonkrithi. Ukusukela ngo-1973, zingama-61.628.584, XNUMX, XNUMX izisu eMelika. Yinto engafakwanga njengohlahlo-lwabiwo mali lukaSenator Dirksen!
Ewe, makhe ndiyenze loo nto. Ndingumfana onzima waseNew Jersey othanda uMntla mpuma. Uyazi ukuba zinkulu kangakanani 61.628.584?
Khawufane ucinge ukuba kwakungekho namnye umntu-kungabikho mntu-kwezi ndawo zontathu: eMaryland, eDelaware, ePennsylvania, eNew Jersey, eNew York, eConnecticut, eRhode Island, eMassachusetts, eVermont naseNew Hampshire. Ukutshatisa inani lokuqhomfa eMelika ukusukela ngo-1973 ukuya kubemi bethu, ngekhe ubenomntu omnye kwili-10 phakathi kweWashington, DC neMaine.
Khawufane ucinge nganye yezi zixeko zingenanto: INew York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Boston, Newark, Hartford, Wilmington, Providence, Buffalo, Scranton, Harrisburg, kunye neAlbany- ipaseji yeBosWash.
Kulabo kuni abangayithandiyo iNyakatho-mpuma, makhe ndiyizobe ngomnye umlinganiso: Ukutshatisa isivuno sokukhupha isisu eMelika ukusukela ngo-1973 xa kuthelekiswa nabantu base-US, ngekhe ubenomntu omnye ohlala eCalifornia, e-Oregon, Washington. , ENevada naseArizona. Akukho ntshona ye-Utah.
Khawufane ucinge ukuba siqale ukuthetha, ngakumbi ngeli xesha lonyulo, malunga nokuqhomfa njengobhubhane- ubhubhane osasazwayo- ngaba kunjalo?
