Ua loaʻa i ka paʻi media o The New York Times kahi nīnau kūpono loa no ke kau anuanu:
Ua manaʻo ʻo Robin Thompson, he internist ma ProHealth Care Associates ma Huntington, New York, ʻo ka holoi lima pinepine ke kī i ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi.
"He mea kōkua paha ka pale ʻana i ka pilina pili, akā ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ʻia," wahi a Kauka Thompson.
ʻO ka hiamoe ʻana ma ka moena hoʻokahi hiki ke hoʻonui i kou manawa e loaʻa ai i ke anu a i ʻole ka maʻi maʻi mai kāu wahine, wahi a ia, akā hiki ke kōkua i ka pale ʻana iā ia. No ka mea heluhelu e kākau ʻaʻole ʻo ia e haʻalele i ka hale. ʻO ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe mau ʻana i nā ʻili i hoʻopā pinepine ʻia e nā poʻe o ka hale e hiki ke hōʻemi i ka nui o nā germs.
Manaʻo ʻo Kauka Susan Rehm, ka hope noho o ka 'Oihana o nā maʻi maʻi maʻi ma Cleveland Clinic, ma waho aʻe o nā mea i ʻike ʻia, hiki i nā kīʻaha a me nā aniani pulupulu i loko o ka lumi lumi ke kumu o ka bacteria. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Rehm ʻo ka pale maikaʻi loa i ka maʻi ʻo ia ka lāʻau lapaʻau, akā hiki i ke kauka ke kuhikuhi i ka lāʻau antiviral no nā lālā o ka ʻohana i maʻi ai kekahi kanaka e pale i ka maʻi a hāʻawi i ka pale hou.
Wahi a Rem, i nā manawa a pau e hopohopo ai ʻo ia no kahi maʻi e hiki mai ana, e kālele ana ʻo ia i ka mea hiki iā ia ke hoʻomalu. No ka laʻana, kēlā me kēia kanaka (me ka nānā ʻole i nā kau anu) hiki ke hoʻomalu i kā lākou meaʻai, hoʻoikaika kino a me nā pae hoʻoikaika kino, a me ka hiamoe maikaʻi. Manaʻo ʻo ia he mea hiki ke kōkua iā ia e pale aku i ka maʻi, a i ʻole ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻomanawanui ʻana i ka maʻi inā loaʻa ka maʻi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Kauka Preetish Tosh, ka mea noiʻi maʻi maʻi ma ka Mayo Clinic (kekahi o nā keʻena lapaʻau pilikino a me nā noiʻi pilikino nui loa ma ka honua), he mea nui e noʻonoʻo i ka "respiratory etiquette" inā he maʻi ʻoe. Ke ʻā ʻoe a hune paha, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana pēlā i loko o kou kuʻe kuʻe lima ma mua o kou lima a lima paha. A ʻae, pono ka maʻi e hoʻokaʻawale iā ia iho mai nā ʻohana ʻē aʻe, a i ʻole e hoʻāʻo e haʻalele iā lākou i ka wā o ka maʻi.
Ua ʻike ʻo ia e ʻike pinepine ʻia nā ʻohana i nā microbes i ka manawa like, no laila ke ulu pinepine nei nā maʻi o ka home i kekahi i kekahi, a maʻi maoli nā ʻohana i loko o ka pōʻai.
Inā he anu a i ʻole ka maʻi maʻi ka ʻohana a ʻaʻole ʻoe e haʻalele pinepine i ka hale no nā kumu like ʻole, hiki ke kōkua kēia mau mea:
E ho'āʻo e hoʻokaʻaʻike i ka mea maʻi ma ka liʻiliʻi loa i ka wā o kona maʻi.
Holo pinepine i kou mau lima.
Hana i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe pulu o ke keʻena, e nānā pono i nā mea a ka mea maʻi e hoʻopā ai. ʻO nā lima puka, nā puka pahu hau, nā keʻena, nā pākaukau moe, nā kīʻaha niho niho.
Hoʻokomo i ka lumi ma ka liʻiliʻi ʻelua i ka lā - i ke kakahiaka a ma mua o ka moe.
ʻAi kūpono. Mai hoʻonāwaliwali i ka pūnaewele immune me nā meaʻai a me nā mea inu waiʻona, e nānā nui i nā huaʻai, nā mea kanu a me nā'ōmaʻomaʻo.
Inu nui i ka wai.
Hana mau a i ʻole ka hoʻouka ʻana. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e hana i kēia ma waho o ka home, no ka laʻana, ma ke keʻena a ma ke alanui paha. Akā inā hoʻoholo ʻoe e holo i ka holo, mai poina e hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi i ka maʻi ʻaʻole ma muli o kahi hoahānau maʻi, akā no ka hypothermia.
