ECleveland, e-Ohio — Odokotela nabahlengikazi bathe esithangamini sikaMbusi uMike DeWine ngoLwesibili ukuthi ochwepheshe bezokwelapha kulo lonke izwe bakhathele ngenxa yokushoda kwabasebenzi kanye nokuntuleka kwemishini ngesikhathi sokwanda kwe-COVID-19 okwamanje. Kwenza kube nzima ukunakekela isiguli.
UDkt. Suzanne Bennett we-University of Cincinnati Health Center uthe ngenxa yokuntuleka kwabahlengikazi ezweni lonke, izikhungo zezokwelapha ezinkulu zezemfundo ziyahluleka ukunakekela iziguli.
UBennett uthe: “Kudala indawo okungekho muntu ofuna ukuyicabanga. Asinaso isikhala sokwamukela iziguli ebezingase zizuze ekwelashweni kulezi zikhungo zezokwelapha ezinkulu zezemfundo.”
UTerri Alexander, umhlengikazi obhalisiwe eSumma Health e-Akron, uthe iziguli ezincane azibonile azizange zisabela ekwelashweni ngaphambilini.
“Ngicabanga ukuthi wonke umuntu lapha ukhathele ngokomzwelo,” kusho u-Alexander. “Kunzima ukufinyelela ezingeni lethu lamanje labasebenzi, sinokuntuleka kwemishini, futhi sidlala umdlalo wokulinganisela umbhede nemishini esiwudlala nsuku zonke.”
U-Alexander uthe abantu baseMelika abajwayele ukuxoshwa ezibhedlela noma ukugcwala ngokweqile futhi abakwazi ukufaka izihlobo ezigulayo egunjini lokunakekelwa okujulile.
Uhlelo lwezimo eziphuthumayo lwasungulwa ngonyaka odlule ukuqinisekisa ukuthi kunemibhede eyanele ngesikhathi sobhubhane, njengokuguqulwa kwezikhungo zemihlangano nezinye izindawo ezinkulu zibe yizindawo zesibhedlela. UDkt. Alan Rivera, ohlala eFulton County Health Center eduze kwaseToledo, uthe i-Ohio ingabeka ingxenye ebonakalayo yohlelo lwezimo eziphuthumayo endaweni, kodwa inkinga ukuthi kunokuntuleka kwabasebenzi bokunakekela iziguli kulezi zindawo.
URivera uthe inani labasebenzi abahlengikazi eFulton County Health Center lehle ngo-50% ngoba abahlengikazi bashiye, bathathe umhlalaphansi, noma bafuna eminye imisebenzi ngenxa yokucindezeleka ngokomzwelo.
URivera uthe: “Manje sinenani elikhulayo kulo nyaka, hhayi ngoba sineziguli eziningi ze-COVID, kodwa ngoba sinabantu abambalwa abanakekela inani elifanayo leziguli ze-COVID.”
UDeWine uthe inani labantu abalaliswa esibhedlela abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-50 liyakhula esifundazweni. Uthe cishe ama-97% eziguli ze-COVID-19 zabo bonke ubudala ezibhedlela zase-Ohio azikagonywa.
U-Alexander uthe uyayamukela imithethonqubo yokugoma ezoqala ukusebenza eSuma ngenyanga ezayo. UBennett uthe uyasekela ukugunyazwa kokugoma ukusiza i-Ohio ukwandisa amazinga okugoma.
“Kusobala ukuthi lesi yisihloko esishisayo, futhi siyisimo esidabukisayo…ngoba sesifinyelele eqophelweni lapho kufanele sicele uhulumeni ukuthi ahlanganyele ekuphoqelelweni kwezinto esizaziyo ukuthi zisekelwe kwisayensi nobufakazi, okungavimbela ukufa,” kusho uBennett.
UBennett uthe kusazobonakala ukuthi isikhathi esinqunyiwe sokuqinisekisa ukugonywa esibhedlela iGreater Cincinnati sizobangela yini ukuphuma kwemithi ngesikhathi sokuntuleka kwabasebenzi.
UDeWine uthe ucabanga ngesikhuthazo esisha sokukhuthaza abantu base-Ohio ukuthi bagonywe. I-Ohio ibinomcimbi wokuwina irafu yamasonto onke yabantu base-Ohio abathole okungenani umjovo owodwa we-COVID-19 ekuqaleni kwalonyaka. Ilotho inikeza imiklomelo eyizigidi eziyi-1 zamaRandi kubantu abadala njalo ngeviki kanye nemifundaze yasekolishi kubafundi abaneminyaka engu-12-17.
“Sitshele yonke iminyango yezempilo esifundazweni ukuthi uma ufuna ukunikeza imivuzo yemali, ungakwenza lokho, futhi sizokukhokhela,” kusho uDevin.
UDeWine uthe akazange ahlanganyele engxoxweni ngoMthethosivivinywa Wendlu 248 obizwa ngokuthi “uMthetho Wokukhetha Umjovo Nokulwa Nokucwasa”, ozovimbela abaqashi, okuhlanganisa nezikhungo zezokwelapha, futhi udinge ngisho nezisebenzi ukuthi zidalule isimo sazo sokugoma.
Abasebenzi bakhe bafuna izindlela zokusiza izifunda zesikole ezibhekene nokuntuleka kwabashayeli bamabhasi ngenxa yobhubhane. “Angazi ukuthi yini esingayenza, kodwa ngicele ithimba lethu ukuthi libone ukuthi singaqhamuka nezindlela zokusiza,” kusho yena.
Inothi kubafundi: Uma uthenga izimpahla ngesinye sezixhumanisi zethu ezihambisanayo, singase sithole amakhomishini.
