Ukugqoka amaphinikhodi okugoma asesitayeleni kuyindlela esheshayo nelula yokwabelana nabanye ngokuthi uthathe umgomo we-COVID-19.
U-Edie Grace Grice, isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo e-Georgia Southern University, udale izikhonkwane ze-lapel "V for Vaccinated" njengendlela yokusiza ukuqwashisa ngezimali kanye nokusekela imizamo yokugomela i-COVID.
“Wonke umuntu ufuna ukuphila kubuyele kwesejwayelekile ngokushesha okukhulu, ikakhulukazi abafundi basekolishi,” kusho uGrice.“Enye yezindlela ezisheshayo zokufeza lokhu ukuthi abantu abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka bathole umuthi wokugomela i-COVID.Njengesikhulu sezengqondo, ngibona imiphumela i-COVID ayinayo kuphela ngokomzimba kodwa ngokwengqondo.Ngifuna ukwenza ingxenye yami ekwenzeni umehluko, ngidale lezi zikhonkwane zokugomela 'Zokunqoba i-COVID'."
Ngemva kokusungula lo mbono, uGrice waklama izikhonkwane futhi wasebenza noFred David ongumnikazi woMnyango Wezokumaketha, umdayisi wendawo wokuphrinta nezinto ezintsha.
“Ngazizwa sengathi lona kuwumbono omuhle kakhulu ngoba uMnu. David wayejabule kakhulu ngakho,” kusho yena."Wasebenza nami ukwenza i-prototype sabe sesiphrinta iziphini zokugoma eziyi-100 futhi zathengiswa ngamahora amabili."
UGrice uthe uthole impendulo enhle kubantu abathenge amaphinikhodi futhi bamtshela ukuthi yonke imindeni yabo nabangane abagonyiwe bayawafuna.
“Si-ode izimpahla eziningi futhi manje sesizikhulula kabanzi ku-inthanethi nasezindaweni ezikhethiwe,” kusho yena.
UGrice unikeze ukubonga okukhethekile ku-A-Line Printing e-Statesboro ngokuphrinta amakhadi esibonisi iphini ngalinye elinamathiselwe kuwo.Umgomo wakhe kwakuwukusebenzisa abathengisi bendawo abaningi ngangokunokwenzeka.
Futhi ukuqaphela bonke abahlinzeki bemithi yokugoma "abenze umsebenzi omangalisayo wokugoma umphakathi wethu" kuyinhloso enkulu, kusho uGrice.Abathathu balabo badayisa izikhonkwane zokugoma: I-Forest Heights Pharmacy, iMcCook's Pharmacy kanye neNightingale Services.
“Ngokuthenga nokugqoka le phinikhodi yokugoma uxwayisa abantu ukuthi ugonyiwe, wabelane ngesipiliyoni sakho sokugoma esiphephile, wenza ingxenye yakho ukusindisa izimpilo nokubuyisela indlela yokuziphilisa kanye nokweseka imfundo yokugoma nemitholampilo,” kusho uGrice.
UGrice uthe unikezela ngephesenti lokuthengiswa kwamaphini ukuze asize emzamweni wokugoma.Izikhonkwane manje sezithengiswa kulo lonke elaseNingizimu-mpumalanga, naseTexas naseWisconsin.Unethemba lokuthi uzozithengisa kuzo zonke izifundazwe ezingama-50.
Ukwenza ubuciko kube uthando lwempilo yonke lukaGrice, kodwa ngesikhathi sokuvalelwa yedwa wasebenzisa ukudalwa kobuciko njengendlela yokubaleka.Uthe uchithe isikhathi sakhe edweba izigcawu zezindawo afisa ukuya kuzo.
UGrice uthe ugqugquzelekile ukuthi athathele phezulu intshisekelo yakhe yokudala ngemuva kokushona okungazelelwe komngane wakhe omkhulu owayengumfundi waseGeorgia waseNingizimu, uKathryn Mullins.U-Mullins wayenebhizinisi elincane lapho ayedala futhi edayisa khona izitika.Ezinsukwini ngaphambi kokufa kwakhe kabuhlungu, u-Mullins wabelane ngombono omusha wesitika noGrice, okwakuwumfanekiso wakhe.
UGrice uthe uzizwe eholeleka ukuthi aqedele isitikha sika-Mullins asiklame futhi asidayise ngokumhlonipha.UGrice unikele ngemali eqoqwe yiphrojekthi yesitikha sika-Mullins esontweni lakhe ukuze amkhumbule.
Le phrojekthi yayiyisiqalo sobuciko be-"Edie travels".Umsebenzi wakhe uboniswe kumagalari kulo lonke elaseGeorgia.
“Bekuyiphupho ukuthi abantu bakholelwe kwezobuciko bami ngokwanele ukuthi bangicele ukuthi ngibenzele okuthile okukhethekile futhi ngisize izinhloso ezinhle ngesikhathi esifanayo,” kusho uGrice.
