Seasonal influenza, commonly called âthe flu,â is caused by influenza viruses, which infect the respiratory tract (i.e., the nose, throat, lungs). Unlike many other viral respiratory infections, such as the common cold, the flu can cause severe illness and life-threatening complications in many people.hildren may pass the virus for longer than 7 days. Symptoms start 1 to 4 days after the virus enters the body. Information about how long a person is contagious is available at How Flu Spreads.
The serpentine belt and v-belt are also known as drive belts.. Because of the high amount of heat in the engine, the belt can develop cracks over time and eventually break. If the belt breaks, the steering wheel will be difficult to turn and driving will be hazardous. In some cars, water pumps are driven by the drive belts. If the belt breaks, water and coolant needed to keep the engine cool will not properly flow to the engine. The engine will overheat, potentially causing severe damage.
If your belt breaks on a motor like this the piston will travel up and hit the valve and could cause serious damage to the valve, the head and/or the camshaft. This could mean buying a head for your motor. There are pictures of Porsche motors that blew the valve right through the valve cover when the timing belt broke.
