I-Integrated Systems Europe iwumbukiso omkhulu wokuhweba wevidiyo olalelwayo emhlabeni, futhi ukuphindwaphindwa kwalo nyaka, okwenzeka manje e-Amsterdam, bekumhambela kahle kakhulu uNorm Carson.Ungumongameli wenkampani ekhethekile yamagiya e-AV e-Tempe, e-Arizona—yenza intambo ye-HDMI enhle enamajekhi e-adaptha amaningi ekugcineni—futhi ingqungquthela ibonakale ilungile, uma mhlawumbe bekunezivakashi ezimbalwa kunokuvamile.Kwathi phakathi nemini ngoLwesibili, ucingo lukaCarson lwakhanya.Ucingo lulandelana lwalungena ekomkhulu lenkampani yakhe.Ngoba inkampani kaCarson ibizwa nge-Covid, futhi kusukela ngoLwesibili, kunjalo nesifo esidalwe yile coronavirus entsha.

Ngokwe-World Health Organization, i-moniker engabonakali, inombolo ye-serial efana ne-2019-nCoV ayisekho.Lesi sifo esithelele abantu abangaphezu kuka-40,000 emhlabeni wonke futhi sabulala abangaphezu kuka-1,000 manje sesibizwa ngokusemthethweni ngokuthi i-Covid-19—CoronaVirus Disease, 2019. ayibuyekeziwe kontanga, kodwa okungenzeka ukuthi izosulwa), i-microbe ngokwayo manje isibizwa ngokuthi i-Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2, noma i-SARS-CoV-2.

Hhayi kangcono kakhulu?Impela, amagama amasha awanayo i-“SARS” noma “umkhuhlane wezinyoni.”Azilungile neze ku-Carson ne-Covid.“Senza amapuleti odonga nezintambo ezisezingeni eliphezulu ezimakethe zentengiso, futhi sisebenze kanzima ukwakha umkhiqizo wethu nokwakha imikhiqizo emihle,” kusho uCarson."Ngakho-ke noma nini lapho uhlotshaniswa nobhubhane lomhlaba wonke, ngicabanga ukuthi kuyinto okufanele sikhathazeke ngayo."Ngempela;vele ubuze abakhangisi bakwa-AB InBev, abenzi bobhiya weCorona.

Kodwa i-nomenclature yesifo ayikho ukwenza izinto zibe lula kubabhali bezihloko kanye nabahleli be-Wikipedia.Ukuqanjwa kwamagciwane kuwudaba olubucayi, ukuchaza imbongi uTS Eliot.Indlela abantu abasichaza ngayo isifo kanye nabantu abanaso kungadala noma kuqhubekisele phambili ukucwaswa okuyingozi.Ngaphambi kokuba izazi zentela ziyibambe, ingculaza yayibizwa ngokungemthetho ngokuthi i-Gay-Related Immune Deficiency, noma i-GRID—eyakwazi ukwanelisa ukwesaba kwezitabane kanye ne-degoguery kuyilapho inciphisa ukuthi abasebenzisi bezidakamizwa ezifakwa emithanjeni kanye nabantu ababefuna ukumpontshelwa igazi nabo babesengozini yokungenwa yilesi sifo.Futhi impi yokuthola nokuqamba kokubili leli gciwane (eligcina seliyi-Human Immunodeficiency Virus, noma i-HIV) kanye nesifo (I-Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) kwahlukanisa umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe we-virology amashumi eminyaka.

Ukuqamba amagama akukabi lula kakhulu.Ngo-2015, ngemva kwamashumi ambalwa eminyaka alokho okwabonakala kungemuva njengezinyathelo ezingenandaba namasiko, Inhlangano Yezempilo Yomhlaba wonke yakhipha isitatimende senqubomgomo yokuthi singaqanjwa kanjani izifo ezithathelwanayo ezisafufusa.Ingxenye yephuzu kwakuwukusiza ososayensi ukuba bakhe amagama ngaphambi kokuba umphakathi uwenzele wona.Ngakho kunemithetho.Amagama kufanele abe yi-generic, ngokusekelwe ezintweni zesayensi-y njengezimpawu noma ukuqina—zingabe zisaba izindawo (Spanish Flu), abantu (isifo se-Creutzfeld-Jacob), noma izilwane (umkhuhlane wezinyoni).Njengoba uHelen Branswell abhala ku-Stat ngoJanuwari, izakhamuzi zaseHong Kong ngo-2003 zalizonda igama elithi SARS ngoba zabona ekuqaleni kubhekiselwa esimeni sedolobha lazo njengeSifunda Esikhethekile Sokuphatha eChina.Futhi abaholi baseSaudi Arabia abakuthandanga kangako lapho abacwaningi baseDashi bebiza i-coronavirus HCoV-KSA1 eminyakeni eyishumi kamuva-okumelela i-Human Coronavirus, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Igama layo elagcina selimisiwe, i-Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome, lisagcina lizwakala sengathi lisola sonke isifunda.

Umphumela wakho konke lokho kubusa kanye nokuzwela kwezepolitiki yi-anodyne Covid-19."Kudingeke ukuthi sithole igama elingabhekiseli endaweni, isilwane, umuntu noma iqembu labantu, futhi elizwakalayo nelihlobene nalesi sifo," kusho umqondisi-jikelele we-WHO uTedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus esithangamini nabezindaba. ULwesibili."Kuphinde kusinikeze ifomethi ejwayelekile esingayisebenzisa kunoma yikuphi ukuqubuka kwe-coronavirus esikhathini esizayo."

Umphumela: I-bummer ye-Neal Carson's Covid, kanye nabalandeli bamagwababa namagwababa—ama-corvids—abafunda ngokushesha okukhulu.(I-covid futhi yayiyiyunithi yobude e-Macao nase-China yangekhulunyaka le-17, kodwa lokho cishe akusebenzi lapha.) Okudabukisayo nakakhulu, i-Covid-19 manje isiyisifanekiso;lelo nani ekugcineni liwukuqaphela okucacile kokuthi umhlaba cishe uzobhekana nezibalo eziphezulu emashumini eminyaka ezayo.Ama-coronavirus amasha amathathu abantu eminyakeni eyi-17 abikezela okufanayo.

Ukunikeza igciwane igama elihlukile kunelesifo kusiza kuleyo nkinga yesikhathi esizayo ye-nomenclature, futhi.Esikhathini esidlule, amagciwane kuphela ababewazi ososayensi kwakuyilawo ayebangela izifo;kwakunengqondo ukuhlobanisa amagama.Kodwa phakathi neminyaka eyishumi edlule, amagciwane amaningi abawatholile awanazo izifo ezihlobene."Manje cishe kuyinto engavamile ukuthi kutholakale igciwane ngenxa yesifo," kusho u-Alexander Gorbalenya, udokotela osafufusa e-Leiden University Medical Center futhi osenesikhathi eside eyilungu le-Coronavirus Study Group.

Ngakho-ke i-SARS-CoV-2 okungenani ikhethekile."Ukuthi zihlangana kangakanani futhi ziyazisana kangakanani kuncike ezimweni ezithile zomlando," kusho uGorbalenya.“Igama laleli gciwane elisha liqukethe i-'SARS Coronavirus' ngoba lihlobene eduze.Bangabezinhlobo ezifanayo.”

Kuyadida lokho.Ngo-2003, lesi sifo i-SARS yathola igama ngaphambi kwegciwane elasibangela, ososayensi ababethi ngalo ngemuva kwalesi sifo: i-SARS-CoV.Igciwane elisha, i-SARS-CoV-2, liqanjwe ngalelo gciwane lango-2003, ngoba lihlobene nofuzo.

Igama ngabe lihambe ngenye indlela.I-National Health Commission yaseChina imemezele ngempelasonto ukuthi izobiza lesi sifo i-Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia, noma i-NCP.Futhi u-Branswell wabika ngoJanuwari ukuthi amanye amagama abantu abazobhapathizwa ayekhona—kodwa izifinyezo ze-South East Asia Respiratory Syndrome kanye ne-Chinese Acute Respiratory Syndrome zaziyisimungulu kakhulu.“Simane sabheka ukuthi amanye amagciwane aqanjwa kanjani.Futhi wonke amagciwane kulolu hlobo aqanjwe ngendlela ehlukile, kodwa wonke aqukethe—ngandlela eyodwa noma enye—'SARS Coronavirus.'Ngakho besingekho isizathu sokuthi kungani leli gciwane elisha kungafanele libizwe nge-'SARS Coronavirus,'” kusho uGorbalenya."Leyo bekuyi-logic elula kakhulu."Kwenzeka nje ukuthi kuholele egameni eliyinkimbinkimbi.Kodwa yilowo owakhiwe ukuze uhlale.

I-WIRED yilapho ikusasa litholwa khona.Iwumthombo obalulekile wolwazi nemibono eyenza umhlaba ube noguquko oluqhubekayo.Ingxoxo YE-WIRED ikhanyisa indlela ubuchwepheshe obushintsha ngayo yonke ingxenye yempilo yethu—kusuka kusiko kuye kwezamabhizinisi, isayensi kuye kokuklama.Ukuphumelela kanye nezinto ezintsha esizidalulayo ziholela ezindleleni ezintsha zokucabanga, ukuxhumana okusha, nezimboni ezintsha.
