Semakin meluasnya penyebaran corona virus atau COVID-19 khususnya di Indonesia membuat masyarakat makin waspada. Berbagai upaya dilakukan agar anggota keluarga tidak terjangkit virus yang mirip pneumonia ini. Bahkan ada beberapa mitos tak akurat seputar virus corona yang beredar.
Mitos apa saja yang sebaiknya Anda abaikan? World Health Organization telah menyediakan satu laman khusus untuk membahas mitos dan fakta seputar COVID-19. Berikut ini beberapa informasi yang MyProtection rangkum.
Berdasarkan informasi dari WHO dan kenyataan pada lapangan, virus corona bisa menyebar kemana saja. Negara beriklim dingin maupun Indonesia yang beriklim tropis tetap terpapar dengan virus ini.
Mandi dengan air hangat atau panas tidak efektif bisa membunuh virus COVID-19. Suhu tubuh tidak akan berubah mengikuti suhu air yang Anda pakai untuk mandi. Sedangkan, langkah paling efektif adalah rajin mencuci tangan dengan air mengalir dan sabun serta kurangi menyentuh wajah, mata, hidung, dan mulut.
Menyemprotkan cairan alcohol ke seluruh tubuh tidak akan membunuh virus yang telah masuk ke dalam tubuh. Selain itu, menyemprotkan alkohol ke area tubuh tertentu seperti mata dan mulut bisa berefek buruk.
Bawang putih memang mengandung beberapa zat antimikroba. Namun, belum ada penelitian yang membuktikan bahwa bawang putih bisa mencegah atau mengobati virus corona.
Hingga saat ini, belum ada informasi yang dapat membuktikan bahwa virus corona dapat disebarkan oleh nyamuk. COVID-19 sendiri ditularkan terutama melalui partikel liur kecil atau droplet yang dikeluarkan pasien positif corona saat bersin atau batuk.
antibiotik tidak dapat bekerja pada virus dan HANYA dapat membunuh bakteri saja. Vaksin pneumonia juga tidak bisa memberikan proteksi terdapat virus corona yang baru.
Hingga saat ini, juga belum ditemukan obat spesifik untuk mencegah atau menyembuhkan virus corona. Tenaga medis akan memberikan perawatan pada masing-masing gejala yang diderita.
Semua orang dengan segala usia bisa terkena virus corona. Mulai dari anak-anak hingga penduduk dengan usia lanjut bisa mengidap virus ini. Reaksi yang ditimbulkan pun bervariasi, mulai dari ringan hingga berat. Penduduk berusia 20 tahun – 50 tahun pun bisa merasakan gejala yang parah ketika positif mengidap virus corona.
Tetap Berada di Rumah
Langkah terbaik yang bisa Anda lakukan untuk mencegah penyebaran virus corona adalah dengan berdiam diri di rumah. Kurangi perjalanan ke luar jika tidak ada kebutuhan mendesak. Jangan lupa untuk menggunakan masker jika Anda batuk atau pilek. Rutin mencuci tangan dan membersihkan pakaian serta peralatan di rumah dapat meminimalisir potensi virus atau bakteri tersebar.

Car brake pads are one of the most vital components in the braking system. Their main function is to create friction with the brake disc, allowing the vehicle to stop or slow down.
Because of this crucial role, it’s important to check your car’s brake pads regularly to ensure optimal performance and maintain driving safety.
Here’s a complete guide about the car brake pads to help you better understand how they work, their types, and how to check them properly.
To understand how brake pads work and function within the braking system, here’s the process:
When the brake pedal is pressed, the pressure is transmitted through the brake fluid to the caliper.
The caliper then pushes the brake pads against both sides of the brake disc, which rotates with the wheels.
This creates friction against the wheel’s rotation, causing the vehicle to slow down and stop.
Semi-Metallic, known for durability and excellent heat transfer. These brake pads are usually made from synthetic organic materials mixed with processed metals, giving them high heat resistance.
Organic, made from a blend of resin, carbon, glass, rubber, and other materials. Vehicles using this type are typically free from squeaking sounds. However, regular inspections are needed to ensure the pads don’t wear out completely.
Non-Asbestos Organic or NAO, offers better performance compared to brake pads that are made of metal. They provide reliable performance and improved safety while driving.
Ceramic, considered the best performing type, is often found in luxury cars due to its higher price. Ceramic brake pads don’t leave residue or produce annoying noises, making them highly efficient.
Generally, the right time to replace car brake pads is when you hear a squeaking or squealing sound during braking.
The physical condition of the brake pads can also indicate when they need replacement. That’s why it’s highly recommended to check their condition regularly.
Most disc brake pads are equipped with a thin metal plate that serves as a wear indicator.
When this small plate rubs against the brake disc, it produces a squeaking sound as a warning sign.
If the plate is already touching the brake disc, it means the brake pads must be replaced immediately.
Before replacing them, make sure the caliper and brake disc are cleaned properly to avoid dirt buildup, such as debris or residue from worn brake pads.
This step is essential to optimize braking performance, especially since dirt mixed with water can disrupt the braking process.
That’s the complete discussion about car brake pads, including their function, how they work, different types, how to check them, and the right time for replacement. Hope it helps!
