no??? why would they???
Because in manga there's always hospitals, medicine, terrible fever and bed rest involved? Also having to be looked after by someone etc. I've never had a cold that involved any of that stuff just a sore throat and runny nose and nobody I know who didn't already have a pre-existing health issue has needed a doctor for a cold so I was just wondering if it was different for Asians. It's not a crazy question a lot of Asians lack an enzyme to process alcohol so it effects them differently so I was just wondering if the cold virus is different or effects them differently.
Im European by blood and also get bedridden for a day or two practically every time I get sick. I think my body condition is fairly normal too, you sound like you just have an abnormally good immune system, and I don’t think it has anything to do with race
Don't let it rain it take most of them out

I'm Brazilian and I don't know anyone who got THAT sick just because of a cold, me included. Usually if it's to the point that you get bedridden, it's another illness.
LMAOOOO
calling it a cold is just purfonctory. it's probably more accurate to say it is a flu or fever. it is normal to happen to overworked/tired workers and students during certain season or weather. maybe blame the working/studying hours and high humidity of many asian regions which help bacteria
if you're talking about "getting sick" in mangas/manhwas, they're mostly just for the mcs to make progress since this is romance.
I mean, it's often used as a plot device, but I did get that sick once. I didn't want to get out of bed, mostly because it was too cold, but I also had a bad cough and an aching throat so I was weak from being unable to eat regular food (swallowing at all hurt so I survived on liquid and soft food), plus dizzy with a high fever. I was out of it for a week and taking cold meds for even longer so I even wondered if I caught covid, but it was long after the quarantine was lifted.
You can still catch COVID now.
Do colds affect Asians differently?
