COVID-19 payakatanga kupinda muBoston Hospital muna Kurume 2020, ndaive mudzidzi wezvechiremba wegore rechina uye ndakapedza kutenderera kwekiriniki kwekupedzisira. Kudzoka apo kushanda kwekupfeka mask kwanga kuchiri kupokana, ndakarairwa kuti nditevere varwere vakapinda mukamuri yekukurumidzira nekuti zvichemo zvavo zvaive zvisiri zvekufema. Pandaienda kushift yega yega, ndakaona nzvimbo yekuyedza yenguva pfupi ichikura kunge dumbu rine nhumbu mukamuri yekutandarira yechipatara, paine mamwe mahwindo epamutemo akavharika achivhara zviitiko zvese mukati. "Varwere vanofungidzirwa kuti vane COVID vanongoona chiremba." Humwe husiku, paakapukuta cheki, mbeva uye kiibhodhi nemapuku akasiyana ekuuraya utachiona, mugari mukuru akaudza vashandi vepo-iyi tsika itsva inoratidza kuchinja kwekuchinja.
Zuva rega rega muimba yekukurumidzira inonzwa sekutamba neasingadzivisiki. Sezvo zvikoro zvekurapa zvawanda zvichikanzura makosi, pese pandinosangana nemurwere, ndinonzwa kuti ino ingave nguva yangu yekupedzisira semudzidzi. Kune mukadzi akapotsa afenda panguva yekuenda kumwedzi, ndakafunga nezvese zvikonzero zvekubuda ropa kwechibereko chisina kujairika? Ndakapotsa mubvunzo wakakosha wekubvunza murwere ane kurwadziwa kamwe kamwe kumashure? Nekudaro, pasina kuvhiringidzwa nedenda, hazvibviri kutarisa chete pazvinhu izvi zvekiriniki. Kuvhara kutya uku kwekupedza usina kudzidza zvese mubvunzo uyo anenge munhu wese muchipatara arikunetsekana nawo: Ndichawana coronavirus here? Ndichachipfuudza kune wandinoda here? Kwandiri, chii chinonyanya kuzvida-izvi zvinorevei kumuchato wangu munaJune?
Apo kutenderera kwangu kwakakanzurwa gare gare mwedzi iwoyo, hapana akafara kupfuura imbwa yangu. (Muroora wangu ari mumashure chaimo.) Pese pandinoenda kumba ndichibva kubasa, panongovhurwa gonhi repamberi, chiso chake chine mvere chinobuda pachena kubva pakatsemuka pamusuwo wepamberi, muswe wake uchizunguza, tsoka dzangu dzichibvunda, bvisa hembe dzangu ndokusvetukira mushower Pakati. Apo mhemberero yakapera nokumiswa kwechinjo yechikoro chezvokurapa, kambwanana wedu akafara kurega vanhu vake vaviri vachienda kumba kupfuura zvatakamboita kare. Mumwe wangu, Chiremba weMishonga. Mudzidzi, achangotora bvunzo, akatanga tsvakiridzo yake yemumunda-nekuda kwedenda, basa iri rave kuchengetwa zvachose. Nenguva yedu yatichangobva kuwana, tinozviwana pachedu tichifamba nembwa tichidzidza kuchengetedza zvakafanira kureba. Panguva yekufamba uku ndipo patinoshanda nesimba kuti tidzidze zvakadzikama zvemichato yetsika nemagariro izvo zviri kunetsa zvakanyanya.
Sezvo mumwe nemumwe wedu aine chiremba wevana amai - mumwe nemumwe wedu akagara nhaka yemumwe munhu - pane pfungwa dzakawanda dzekupemberera mubatanidzwa wevana vavo. Waimbove muchato usiri wesangano zvishoma nezvishoma wakashanduka kuita chiitiko chakaomarara, kuremekedza mumwe wangu wePacific Northwest nemidzi yechiPurotesitendi uye netsika dzangu dzeSri Lankan/Buddhist. Apo patinoda kuti shamwari itungamirire mhemberero imwe chete, dzimwe nguva tinowana vapirisita vatatu vakasiyana kuti vatarisire mitambo miviri yechitendero yakasiyana. Mubvunzo wekuti ndeupi mhemberero ichava mhemberero yepamutemo haina kunyanya kujeka sezvairi nyore. Kutora nguva yekutsvaga zvakasiyana-siyana zvirongwa zvemavara, pekugara pamba uye kupfeka zvakakwana kutiita kuti tifunge kuti muchato ndewaani.
Ini nemudiwa wangu patakange taneta uye tatotarisa kunze, denda rakauya. Pamharadzano dzese dzine gakava mukuronga michato, kudzvanyirirwa kwebvunzo dzezvidzidzo uye kunyorera pekugara kuri kuwedzera. Pakufamba nembwa taiseka kuti kupenga kwemhuri yedu kwaizoita kuti tiroorane mudare reguta tichingofunga. Asi nekuvharika kuri kuramba kuchiitika uye nekuwedzera kwenyaya munaKurume, tinoona kuti mukana wewanano yedu munaChikumi uri kuramba uchidzikira. Mukufamba kwekunze uku, sarudzo yemavhiki akawanda yakava yechokwadi nekuti takashanda nesimba kuchengetedza kambwanana kubva pamamita matanhatu kubva kune vaipfuura. Tinofanira kumirira kusvika denda rapera, hatizive kuti richapera rinhi? Kana kuti tinofanira kuroorana iye zvino totarisira kuva nemapati mune ramangwana here?
Chakakurudzira sarudzo yedu ndechekuti mumwe wangu paakatanga kurota hope dzinotyisa, ndakaiswa muchipatara nokuda kweCCIDID-19, kusanganisira mazuva akati wandei erutsigiro rwekufema kuICU, uye mhuri yangu yakanga ichizeya kuti vondibvisa here mumhepo inofefetera. Pandakanga ndava kuda kupedza chikoro uye kudzidzira basa, kwaiva nenhamba yakadzikama yevashandi vezvokurapa nevarwere vakafa neutachiona. Mumwe wangu akaramba akati taizofunga nezvenyaya iyi. “Ndinoda kuita sarudzo idzi. Ndinofunga zvinoreva kuti tinofanira kuroorana - ikozvino. "
Saka takazviita. Mamwe mangwanani kwaitonhora muBoston, takafamba tichienda kuCity Hall kunozadza chikumbiro chedu chemuchato usati waitwa muchato mazuva mashoma gare gare. Kuti titarise mamiriro ekunze esvondo rino, takatara zuva richave Chipiri paine mukana mudiki wekunaya kwemvura. Takatumira email yekuchimbidza kuvaenzi vedu ichizivisa kuti mutambo chaiwo unogona kufambiswa pamhepo. Mwari wemudiwa wangu akabvuma nerupo kutungamira muchato kunze kwemusha wake, uye isu vatatu takapedza yakawanda yeMuvhuro manheru tichinyora mhiko nemhemberero dzemhemberero. Patakazorora mangwanani eChipiri, takanga takaneta zvikuru asi tichifara zvikuru.
Sarudzo yekusarudza ichi chiitiko chakakosha kubva kumwedzi mishoma yekuronga uye 200 vashanyi kuenda kumhemberero diki kutepfenyurwa paWi-Fi isina kugadzikana haina musoro, uye izvi zvinogona kuenzanisirwa zvakanyanya kana isu tichitsvaga maruva: tinogona kuwana Yakanakisa ndiyo cactus kubva. CVS. Sezvineiwo, ichi ndicho chaive chipingamupinyi chega zuva iroro (vamwe vavakidzani vakaunganidza daffodils kubva kuchechi yeko). Kune vanhu vashoma vari kure nekugarisana, uye kunyangwe mhuri yedu nehama dziri kure nemakiromita online, isu tinofara kwazvo-tinofara kuti neimwe nzira takabvisa kudzvanywa kwekuronga kwemuchato kwakaoma uye kunetseka kweCCIDID-19. Uye kuparadzwa kwakawedzera dzvinyiriro iyi ndokupinda muzuva apo tinogona kufambira mberi. Mukutaura kwake kweparadhi, mwari wemumwe wangu akataura chinyorwa chazvino naArundhati Roy. Akaonesa, kuti: “Munhau, nhenda dzakamanikidzira vanhu kusiya zvomunguva yakapfuura ndokufungazve nyika yavo. Izvi hazvina kusiyana. Iyo portal inzvimbo pakati penyika neimwe. "
Mumazuva mushure memuchato, takataura zvisina basa portal iyi, tichitarisira kuti nekutora matanho anodedera, tinobvuma mhirizhonga uye kurasikirwa kwakanyanya kwakasiiwa nekoronavirus - asi usatendere denda kutimisa zvachose. Tichizeza mukuita uku, tinonamata kuti tiri kuita chinhu chakanaka.
Pandakazobata COVID munaNovember, mumwe wangu anga ave nepamuviri kweanoda kusvika mavhiki makumi matatu. Mumwedzi mishomanana yokutanga yandakapiwa muchipatara, zuva rakandiremera chaizvo rokuenda kuchipatara. Ndakanzwa kurwadziwa nefivha uye ndakaongororwa zuva rakatevera racho. Pandakarangarirwa nemigumisiro yakanaka, ndaichema ndiri ndega apo ndakanga ndiri ndoga pametiresi yemhepo yaizova kireshi yedu yakanga ichangoberekwa. Mumwe wangu nembwa vakanga vari kune rumwe rutivi rwemadziro eimba yekurara, vachiedza nepese pandaigona kuti varambe vari kure neni.
Isu tine rombo rakanaka. Pane data inoratidza kuti COVID inogona kuunza njodzi huru uye matambudziko kune vakadzi vane pamuviri, saka mumwe wangu anogona kuramba asina hutachiona. Kuburikidza nezviwanikwa zvedu, ruzivo, uye nerubatsiro rwetiweki, takamuburitsa mumba medu ini ndichipedzisa kuvharirwa. Makosi angu akanaka uye anozvimisa, uye ini ndiri kure nekuda chekufambisa. Mazuva gumi mushure mekunge zviratidzo zvangu zvatanga, ndakabvumirwa kudzokera muwadhi.
Chinononoka hakusi kupera kwekufema kana kuneta kwetsandanyama, asi huremu hwesarudzo dzatinoita. Kubva pamugumo womuchato wedu watakangoroorana, taitarisira kuti ramangwana richange rakaita sei. Tichipinda makore anopfuura makumi matatu, tave kuda kuunza mhuri yezvekurapa mbiri, uye tinoona hwindo rinochinjika richitanga kuvhara. The pre-denda plan yaive yekuyedza kuita vana nekukurumidza mushure mekuroora, kutora mukana wekuti mumwe chete wedu aigara mugore rakaoma panguva. Sezvo COVID-19 ichiwedzera kuwanda, takambomira tikaongorora nguva iyi.
Tinganyatsoita izvi here? Tinofanira kuita izvi here? Panguva iyoyo, denda rakaratidza kusapera, uye takanga tisina chokwadi chekuti kumirira kwaizova mwedzi kana makore. Mukushaikwa kwegwara renyika rekunonoka kana kutevera kubata pamuviri, nyanzvi nguva pfupi yadarika dzakakurudzira kuti ruzivo rwedu rweCCIDID-19 rungave rusingakodzere kupa zano, rakazara rekuti ungave nepamuviri here kana kuti kwete panguva ino. Kana isu tichigona kungwarira, mutoro uye zvine musoro, saka zvirinani hazvina musoro kuedza? Kana tikakunda matambudziko emhuri tikachata mumhirizhonga iyi, tingatore nhanho inotevera muhupenyu tose zvisinei nekusagadzikana kwedenda?
Sezvaitarisira vanhu vakawanda, hatizivi kuti zvichange zvakaoma sei. Kuenda neni kuchipatara mazuva ose kuti ndidzivirire mumwe wangu kwave kuramba kuchiwedzera kushaya simba. Kukosora kwega kwega kwakamutsa pfungwa dzevanhu. Patinopfuura nevavakidzani vasina kupfeka masiki, kana kuti patinokanganwa kugeza maoko edu patinopinda mumba, tinongoerekana tavhunduka. Ese matanho anodiwa akatorwa kuti ave nechokwadi chekuchengetedzwa kwevakadzi vane pamuviri, kusanganisira pakufambidzana, zvakandiomera kuti ndisaratidze ultrasound yemumwe wangu uye bvunzo-kunyangwe akandimirira mumotokari yakamira nembwa inohukura Inzwa imwe kubatana. . Kana kutaurirana kwedu kukuru kukava kwechokwadi kwete kutarisana chiso nechiso, zvinobva zvanyanya kuoma kubata zvinotarisirwa nemhuri yedu - izvo zvave kujaira kutora chikamu -. Muridzi wemba yedu akasarudza kuerekana agadziridza yuniti mumba medu ine mhuri dzakawanda, izvo zvakawedzerawo dzvinyiriro yedu.
Asi kusvika pari zvino, chinhu chinorwadza kuziva kuti ndafumura mukadzi wangu nemwana asati azvarwa kune maze yeCCIDID-19 uye yakaoma pathology uye sequelae. Munguva yake yechitatu trimester, mavhiki atakapedza takaparadzana akazvipira kutarisa chaiko kwezviratidzo zvake, achimirira neshungu mhinduro dzebvunzo, uye tichitarisa pamazuva ekuzviparadzanisa nevamwe kusvika tave pamwe zvakare. Apo mhino yake yekupedzisira yakanga isina kunaka, takanzwa takasununguka uye takaneta kupfuura kare.
Pataiverenga mazuva tisati taona mwanakomana wedu, ini nemumwe wangu takanga tisina chokwadi chokuti taizozviita zvakare. Sekuziva kwedu, akasvika kutanga kwaFebruary, akakwana-akakwana mumaziso edu, kana nzira yaakasvika nayo isina kukwana. Kunyange zvazvo tichifara uye tichitenda kuva vabereki, takadzidza kuti zviri nyore kuti “ndinoita” panguva yedenda pane kushanda nesimba kuvaka mhuri pashure pedenda. Kana vanhu vazhinji vakarasikirwa nezvinhu zvakawanda, kuwedzera mumwe munhu kuhupenyu hwedu kuchava nemhosva. Sezvo mafambiro echirwere ichi achiramba achidzika, kuyerera uye kubuda, isu tinovimba kuti kubuda kweiyi portal kuchave kuoneka. Kana vanhu pasi rese vatanga kufunga nezvekuti iyo coronavirus inotemesa matemo avo epasirese - uye kufunga nezvesarudzo, kusafunga uye kusasarudza kwakaitwa mumumvuri wedenda - isu ticharamba tichiyera chiito chese uye kufambira mberi nekuchenjerera. mberi, uye zvino iri kufambira mberi nenhanho yemwana. nguva.
