IiNkqubo eziDityanisiweyo zaseYurophu ngowona mboniso mkhulu wokurhweba ngevidiyo-vidiyo emhlabeni, kwaye ukuphindaphindwa kwalo nyaka, okwenzekayo ngoku eAmsterdam, bekuhamba kakuhle kakhulu kuNorm Carson.Ungumongameli wenkampani yezixhobo ze-AV ezikhethekileyo eTempe, eArizona-yenza intambo ye-HDMI entle eneejekhi ezininzi zeadaptha kwelinye icala-kwaye inkomfa ibibonakala ilungile, ukuba mhlawumbi ibizinyaswa kancinci kunesiqhelo.Kwaye emva kwemini ngoLwesibini, ifowuni kaCarson yakhanya.Umnxeba emva komnxeba wawungena kwikomkhulu lenkampani yakhe.Kuba inkampani kaCarson ibizwa ngokuba yiCovid, kwaye ukusukela ngoLwesibini, sinjalo isifo esibangelwa yile coronavirus entsha.

NgokoMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi, i-moniker engabonakaliyo, inombolo ye-serial-efana ne-2019-nCoV ayisekho.Isifo esosulele abantu abangaphezu kwe-40,000 kwihlabathi liphela kwaye sabulala ngaphezulu kwe-1,000 ngoku sibizwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuba yi-Covid-19-CoronaVirus Disease, 2019. ayijongwanga ngoontanga, kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba icocwe), intsholongwane ngokwayo ngoku ibizwa ngokuba yiSevere Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, okanye iSARS-CoV-2.

Akukho ngcono kakhulu?Ngokuqinisekileyo, amagama amatsha awanayo “i-SARS” okanye “umkhuhlane weentaka.”Ngokuqinisekileyo abalunganga kwiCarson kunye neCovid.“Senza iipleyiti zodonga ezikumgangatho ophezulu kunye neentambo zokuthengisa, kwaye sisebenze nzima ukwakha uphawu lwethu kunye nokwakha iimveliso ezilungileyo,” utshilo uCarson.Ke ngalo lonke ixesha unxulunyaniswa nobhubhane wehlabathi, ndicinga ukuba yinto ekufuneka uzikhathaze ngayo.Kanjalo;buza nje kubathengisi bakwa-AB InBev, abenzi bebhiya yeCorona.

Kodwa i-nomenclature yesifo ayikho ukwenza izinto zibe lula kubabhali beentloko kunye nabahleli beWikipedia.Ukuthiywa kwentsholongwane kukuba, ukuchaza imbongi uTS Eliot, ngumcimbi onzima.Indlela abantu abasichaza ngayo isifo kunye nabantu abanaso banokudala okanye baqhubekisele phambili amabala ayingozi.Ngaphambi kokuba iingcali zerhafu ziyifumane, uGawulayo wayebizwa ngokungekho mthethweni ngokubizwa ngokuba yiGay-Related Immune Deficiency, okanye iGRID—eyayikwazi ukondla abantu abathandana nabantu abathandana ngobulili obufanayo kunye ne-degoguery ngelixa inciphisa ukuba abasebenzisi beziyobisi kunye nabantu abafuna utofelo-gazi basengozini yesi sifo.Kwaye idabi lokufumanisa kunye nokuthiya zombini intsholongwane (eyathi ekugqibeleni yaba yiNtsholongwane yoKhuseleko loMzi, okanye i-HIV) kunye nesifo (i-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) yaqhekeza uluntu lwehlabathi lwe-virology kangangamashumi eminyaka.

Ukuthiya amagama akukabi lula.Ngo-2015, emva kwamashumi ambalwa eminyaka oko kwabonakala ngathi kukungakhathali ngokwenkcubeko, uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi ukhuphe ingxelo yomgaqo-nkqubo omalunga nendlela yokubiza izifo ezosulelayo.Inxalenye yenqaku yayikukunceda izazinzulu ukuba zivelise amagama phambi kokuba uluntu luzenzele lona.Ngoko kukho imigaqo.Amagama kufuneka abe generic, ngokusekelwe kwizinto zesayensi-y ezifana neempawu okanye ubunzima-akukho ndawo (iSpanish Flu), abantu (isifo seCreutzfeld-Jacob), okanye izilwanyana (umkhuhlane weentaka).Njengoko uHelen Branswell wabhala kwi-Stat ngoJanuwari, abahlali baseHong Kong ngo-2003 bamthiya igama elithi SARS kuba babona kwisiqalo sibhekisa kwimo yesixeko sabo njengoMmandla woLawulo oluKhethekileyo eTshayina.Kwaye iinkokeli zaseSaudi Arabia azizange ziyithande kakhulu xa abaphandi baseDatshi babiza i-coronavirus HCoV-KSA1 kwiminyaka elishumi kamva-emele i-Human Coronavirus, uBukumkani baseSaudi Arabia.Igama layo elagcina limisiwe, iMiddle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome, lisaphela livakala ngathi libeka ityala kuwo wonke lo mmandla.

Isiphumo sayo yonke loo mithetho kunye nobuntununtunu bezopolitiko yi-anodyne Covid-19.“Kuye kwafuneka sifumane igama elingabhekiseli kwindawo, isilwanyana, umntu okanye iqela labantu, kwaye likwavakala kwaye linxulumene nesi sifo,” utshilo umlawuli jikelele we-WHO uTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus kwinkomfa yabezindaba. ULwesibini."Ikwasinika ifomathi eqhelekileyo ekufuneka siyisebenzise kuko nakuphi na ukuqhambuka kwecoronavirus kwixesha elizayo."

Isiphumo: I-bummer ye-Neal Carson's Covid, kunye nabalandeli bamagwababa kunye namahlungulu-i-corvids-abafunda ngokukhawuleza okukhulu.(I-covid yayiyiyunithi yobude kwi-17th-century Macao nase-China, kodwa loo nto mhlawumbi ayisebenzi apha.) Okubuhlungu ngakumbi, i-Covid-19 ngoku iyitemplate;elo nani ekugqibeleni lunakano olucacileyo lokuba umhlaba uya kuba ujongene namanani aphezulu kumashumi eminyaka ezayo.Ii-coronavirus ezintathu zabantu ezintsha kwiminyaka eli-17 zixela ngaphezulu okufanayo.

Ukunika intsholongwane igama elahlukileyo kunesi sifo kunceda ngaloo ngxaki ye-nomenclature yexesha elizayo, nayo.Ngaphambili, iintsholongwane ezazisaziwa ngoososayensi yayizezo zazibangela izifo;kwakunengqiqo ukunxulumanisa amagama.Kodwa kule minyaka ilishumi idlulileyo, uninzi lweentsholongwane abazifumeneyo azinaso nasiphi na isifo.“Ngoku phantse kukhethekile ukuba kufunyanwe intsholongwane ngenxa yesifo,” utshilo uAlexander Gorbalenya, ugqirha ophumayo kwiZiko lezoNyango leYunivesithi yaseLeiden kunye nelungu elide leQela lokufunda leCoronavirus.

Ke iSARS-CoV-2 iyinto ekhethekileyo encinci."Indlela abadibana ngayo kwaye bayazisana kuxhomekeke kwiimeko ezithile zembali," utshilo uGorbalenya.“Igama lale ntsholongwane intsha ine-'SARS Coronavirus' kuba isondelelene.Zezodidi olunye.”

Iyabhida kancinci lonto.Ngo-2003, isifo i-SARS yafumana igama ngaphambi kwentsholongwane eyasibangelayo, abathi izazinzulu zathiywa emva kwesi sifo: SARS-CoV.Intsholongwane entsha, i-SARS-CoV-2, ithiywe ngegama laloo pathogen ka-2003, kuba ihlobene ngokwemfuza.

Eli gama lalinokuhamba ngenye indlela.IKomishini yezeMpilo yeSizwe yaseTshayina ibhengeze kwimpelaveki ukuba iza kusibiza isifo iNovel Coronavirus Pneumonia, okanye i-NCP.Kwaye i-Branswell inike ingxelo ngoJanuwari ukuba amanye amagama agqatswa abekhona-kodwa izishunqulelo ze-South East Asia Respiratory Syndrome kunye ne-Chinese Acute Respiratory Syndrome zazizidenge kakhulu.“Sijonge nje indlela ezinye iintsholongwane ezibizwa ngayo.Kwaye zonke iintsholongwane kolu hlobo zibizwa ngokwahlukileyo, kodwa zonke ziqulathe-ngendlela enye okanye enye indlela-'SARS Coronavirus.'Ke bekungekho sizathu sokuba le ntsholongwane intsha ingabizwa ngokuba 'yi-SARS Coronavirus,'” utshilo uGorbalenya."Yayilula kakhulu loo nto."Kwenzeka nje ukuba kubangele igama elithile elinzima.Kodwa yeyakhelwe ukuhlala.

WIRED kulapho ingomso libonwa khona.Ngumthombo obalulekileyo wolwazi kunye neengcinga ezenza intsingiselo yehlabathi kwinguqu eqhubekayo.Incoko ye-WIRED ikhanyisa indlela itekhnoloji etshintsha ngayo yonke inkalo yobomi bethu-ukusuka kwinkcubeko ukuya kwishishini, isayensi ukuya kuyilo.Impumelelo kunye nezinto ezintsha esizityhilayo zikhokelela kwiindlela ezintsha zokucinga, unxibelelwano olutsha, kunye namashishini amatsha.
