There's a flu going around in The Netherlands right now, it progresses like this:

- Day 1: Fever, fatigue and muscle pain with a dry itchy cough.

- Day 2+: Nausea and diarrhea can be experienced as well as the first day symptoms.

It takes about a week for the worst of the symptoms to die down however the stomach ache, cough and light tiredness last weeks.

My entire family and most of my son's class at school has had it and they're all still recovering. My wife is, after 3 weeks, still really ill. Probably because she's working full time and breastfeeding.

This is what makes the Corona-virus hard: at the start the symptoms are extremely similar to existing flu. Unless the case is extremely severe most people won't see a doctor let alone a hospital.

I don't see how it can be stopped.
