ʻO ka wiki hoʻopaʻa maʻi maʻi maʻi maʻi
ʻO ia ka manawa o ka makahiki hou. Ua hāʻule nā lau, ua ʻoluʻolu ke ea, a i koʻu kākau ʻana i kēia, ʻeono ʻīniha o ka hau i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia ma koʻu pā hale. No nā mea he nui, ʻoluʻolu ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā kau ma hope o ka wela o ke kauwela lōʻihi. Hiki iā mākou ke ʻaʻahu hou i nā papa a hana i nā sopa a ʻoluʻolu i loko me kahi puke maikaʻi. Me nā leʻaleʻa maʻalahi a pau o ka hoʻoilo ʻo Colorado, ʻo kēia manawa o ka makahiki e hōʻike ana i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka manawa maʻi.
I ka wā e ʻōwili ai ka hāʻule a hoʻomaka ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā lau mai ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo a i ka melemele i ka ʻulaʻula, hoʻomaka nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā keʻena o nā kauka i ka hoʻolaha ʻana no nā kiʻi maʻi flu a paipai iā mākou e loaʻa i kā mākou mau lāʻau lapaʻau makahiki. E like me nā lā pōkole a me nā pō anuanu, he mea kēia a mākou i manaʻo ai me ka loli o nā kau. A ʻoiai ʻaʻole paha ʻo nā pana flu ka mea a mākou e manaʻo nui ai e pili ana i ka hāʻule a i ʻole ka hoʻoilo, ʻo ka hiki ke pale a hoʻomalu i ka hopena o kahi kau maʻi i hāʻawi ʻia he mea ʻole ia o ka holomua olakino lehulehu.
ʻAʻole mea hou ka wā maʻi maʻi iā mākou. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua puni ka maʻi influenza i ka honua no nā haneli mau makahiki i kēia manawa. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hapa nui o mākou i kamaʻāina loa i ka maʻi maʻi maʻi H1N1 o 1918, ka mea i manaʻo ʻia ua loaʻa i ka 500 miliona mau kānaka a kaulana hoʻi nā mea make ma mua o ke Kaua Honua I.1 ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, ma hope o nā makahiki o ka noiʻi ʻana, ua alakaʻi ʻia ka maʻi maʻi influenza kaʻawale i ka lāʻau lapaʻau mua i hoʻohana ʻole ʻia i ka makahiki 1940.1 Me ka hoʻomohala ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi maʻi i hele mai ka ʻōnaehana mākaʻikaʻi influenza mua i hoʻohana ʻia e kakali i nā loli i ka maʻi maʻi flu makahiki.2
E like me kā mākou e ʻike ai i kēia manawa, hoʻololi ʻia nā maʻi virus, ʻo ia ka mea e pono ke hoʻololi ʻia nā lāʻau lapaʻau e hakakā i nā maʻi hou o ka maʻi mutated. I kēia lā, aia nā maʻi maʻi maʻi maʻi maʻi ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa e hana holoʻokoʻa i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i ke ʻano o ka maʻi maʻi e ʻike pinepine ʻia i ka wā maʻi i hāʻawi ʻia. ʻO kā mākou mau lāʻau lapaʻau maʻi maʻi maʻamau e pale aku i ʻekolu a ʻehā mau maʻi o ka maʻi maʻi influenza, me ka manaʻolana e hōʻemi i ka maʻi e like me ka hiki.2 I nā makahiki mua o 2000, ua hoʻomaka ke Kōmike Kūkākūkā o nā Hana Hoʻomaʻamaʻa (ACIP) i ka ʻōlelo ʻana e loaʻa i kēlā me kēia 6 mahina a ʻoi aku ka maʻi maʻi flu makahiki.3
Mahalo nui wau i nā makahiki o ka noiʻi ʻana a me ka ʻike ʻepekema i alakaʻi ai i kahi kano maʻi flu i loaʻa i ka lehulehu. Ma kahi kokoke i ʻelua hapakolu o koʻu ola, ua laki wau i hiki iaʻu ke hele i koʻu lāʻau lapaʻau kūloko a loaʻa i ke kano. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole au e ʻae aku ma kahi o ʻelima mau makahiki i hala ua haʻalele wau i ka loaʻa ʻana o kaʻu pana maʻi maʻi makahiki no ka manawa mua loa. Paʻa ka hana, hele nui au, a no laila, i kēlā me kēia mahina, hoʻopaneʻe wau i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka lāʻau lapaʻau. I ka holo ʻana o Malaki o kēlā makahiki, ua noʻonoʻo wau iaʻu iho, "Phew, ua hiki iaʻu i ka wā maʻi maʻi me ka ʻole o ka maʻi." Ua manaʻo maoli wau aia wau i ka maopopo…. ka hoohenehene. Ma hope o kēlā pūnāwai, me he mea lā e iho mai ana nā mea a pau o koʻu keʻena me ka maʻi maʻi, a no ka pale ʻole ʻia e ka maʻi maʻi maʻi i kēlā makahiki, ua maʻi nui nō hoʻi au. E hoʻokoe au iā ʻoe i nā kikoʻī, akā ʻaʻole pono e ʻōlelo ʻaʻole au i ka hana no ka liʻiliʻi o hoʻokahi pule hiki ke ʻai i ka hupa moa a me ka wai. Pono ʻoe e ʻike i kēlā degere o ka maʻi i hoʻokahi manawa ʻaʻole makemake e ʻike hou.
Ua wānana ʻia kēia makahiki he kau maʻi maʻi paʻakikī, hoʻohui ʻia e ka hoʻomau ʻana o nā maʻi ʻē aʻe e like me RSV a me COVID-19. Ke paipai nei nā kauka i ka poʻe e loaʻa i kā lākou lāʻau lapaʻau maʻi maʻi makahiki ke hele nei mākou i nā lā hoʻomaha, a he aha ka manawa maikaʻi e hoʻonohonoho ai i kāu pana maʻi maʻi ma mua o ka National Influenza Vaccination Week (Kekemapa 5 a hiki i ka 9, 2022). Makemake mākou a pau e leʻaleʻa i nā mea a pau o ke kau hoʻoilo, e leʻaleʻa i ka manawa me ka ʻohana a me nā hoaaloha a ʻākoakoa a puni nā meaʻai ʻono me nā mea a mākou e aloha ai. ʻO ka pōmaikaʻi, aia nā ʻanuʻu e hiki ai iā mākou ke hana i mea e pale aku ai iā mākou iho a me ko mākou mau kaiāulu mai ka loaʻa ʻana o ka maʻi maʻi. No ka hoʻomaka, hiki iā mākou ke ʻaʻahu i nā masks a noho i ka home inā ʻaʻole maikaʻi mākou, holoi pinepine i ko mākou mau lima a hana mua i ka hoʻomaha maikaʻi. A ʻo ka mea nui loa, hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa i ka maʻi maʻi flu makahiki, loaʻa ma ka hapa nui o nā lāʻau lapaʻau nui, nā keʻena kauka, a me nā keʻena olakino kūloko. Hiki iā ʻoe ke pili ua loaʻa iaʻu kaʻu!
