Feeling under the weather? You've likely heard friends or family blame it on the flu that's supposedly going around. But is there truly a flu outbreak?
According to the RIVM, a flu epidemic is declared when 51 per 100,000 registered patients consult their GP for flu-like symptoms. For the week of October 30 through November 5, only 24 people per 100,000 reported such symptoms—no epidemic occurred.
