Beberapa waktu ini, masyarakat dihebohkan dengan penyebaran coronavirus yang mirip pneumonia di China. Pasalnya, virus yang menyerang bagian pernapasan manusia ini telah menjangkit 3.000 orang di China dan terus bertambah setiap harinya. Menurut NY Times, 106 orang di antaranya meninggal dunia akibat virus tersebut.
Lalu, sebenarnya apa itu coronavirus?
WHO menginformasikan bahwa coronavirus merupakan sekelompok virus yang menyebabkan infeksi pernapasan mulai dari flu hingga SARS (Severe Acture Respiratory Syndrome). Saat ini coronavirus yang menyerang China dan negara lainnya disebut sebagai Novel 201 Coronavirus atau 2019-nCov.
Penyebaran virus ini umumnya terjadi melalui binatang kepada manusia. Jika manusia terjangkit virus ini, barulah ia bisa terdeteksi. Namun, penyebaran antar manusia pada manusia lainnya mungkin terjadi.
Profesor Jonathan Ball, pakar virologi dari Universitas Nottingham, berpendapat jika berkaca dari penyebaran wabah di masa lalu, maka coronavirus yang baru ini pasti datang dari binatang. Contohnya, di Timur Tengah sempat terjadi wabah MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome). Sebanyak 858 dari total 2.945 penderitanya meninggal akibat virus MERS. Diketahui penyebaran virus ini berasal dari unta Somalia.
Pemerintah China memastikan Senin bahwa penularan virus misterius ini dapat terjadi antar manusia. Setidaknya 14 petugas medis yang merawat pasien yang terjangkit virus corona, juga tertular. Maka, dikhawatirnya wabah coronavirus yang mirip pneumonia ini bisa meluas karena jutaan orang keluar masuk dari China.
Apa gejala dari coronavirus?
Gejala coronavirus sendiri beragam seperti demam di atas 38 derajat Celcius, tubuh menggigil, kesulitan bernapas atau napas pendek, tubuh terasa sakit, hingga berujung pada kematian. Jika Anda mengalami gejala di atas, segera hubungi tenaga kesehatan profesional untuk mendapatkan instruksi lebih lanjut.
Perlukah kita waspada?
Sampai saat ini, penyebaran wabah coronavirus terus meluas di China bahkan negara di luar China seperti Jepang, Thailand, Australia, hingga Amerika Serikat. Hingga saat ini, pemeriintah China tetap berusaha untuk mencegah penyebaran virus dengan melakukan isolasi. Indonesia sendiri belum mencatat adanya korban dari coronavirus ini. Beberapa turis yang dicurigai mengidap virus dan warga negara Indonesia yang dicurigai mengalami gejala mirip coronavirus telah domonitor secara intensif. Masyarakat juga diimbau untuk menjaga kebersihan tangan dan saluran pernapasan atas.
Bagi Anda yang berencana mengunjungi negara yang terjangkit wabah, maka disarankan agar Anda mengurangi kontak dengan binatang atau dengan korban terjangkit wabah. Jika bisa, Anda bisa mengubah jadwal keberangkatan. Anda dapat memperlengkapi diri dengan asuransi perjalanan atau asuransi kesehatan untuk melindungi diri dari kejadian tak diinginkan di masa depan.
Semoga Anda dan keluarga sehat selalu.

Since most car components are made of metal, such as iron and steel, they are highly prone to oxidation. This risk increases in humid environments when exposed to road salt, dirt, scratches, or damaged paint.
The oxidation process causes rust on cars, and if left untreated, it can spread and cause serious damage. To prevent this, rusty areas must be repaired immediately.
Here are 6 easy and effective ways to remove rust from your car that you can try!
Discover 6 quick and easy methods to remove car rust effectively. Read the full guide below!
One of the simplest methods is applying lubricant to hidden car parts, such as door hinges, the hood, and the trunk.
These areas are often overlooked when cleaning, making them more vulnerable to rust. By applying the lubricant, a protective layer is formed that prevents moisture and air from reaching the metal surface, slowing down the corrosion process.
Rainwater is slightly acidic and can accelerate the oxidation process, leading to rust. That is why washing your car after rain is highly recommended.
Even when it doesn’t rain, regular car washing helps protect the paint and body from dirt, dust, and pollution while extending the car’s lifespan.
The best time to wash your car is in the morning or afternoon when sunlight is available to speed up drying and help you check hidden areas more easily.
A rust remover works by lifting rust from the metal surface through a chemical reaction, usually involving phosphoric acid or surfactants.
Besides rust, it can also remove deposits from car components such as wheels, engine blocks, exhaust pipes, and other metal parts, restoring both their look and function effectively.
For more severe rust problems, sanding and repainting are the best solutions.
Sanding the rusty surface helps remove the rust layer, making the repainting process more effective. This step also improves paint adhesion, making it last longer and providing better protection.
Toothpaste can be surprisingly effective in removing light rust or mold from car components. Its mild abrasive properties help scrub away minor rust.
Apply toothpaste to the rusty area, leave it for a few minutes, then scrub gently and clean off the residue. If the rust remains, repeat the process until it disappears.
Electrolysis is a more advanced method of removing rust. It involves soaking the rusty component in an electrolytic solution while applying an electric current.
Through a chemical reaction, this process converts rust back into pure iron. It’s highly effective for treating both light and heavy rust on various car parts.
Those are 6 proven ways to remove rust from your car. Since cars contain many metal components, rust is a common issue that every car owner should be aware of.
By applying the right method, you can protect your car’s durability and keep it looking great for an extended period.
