In China, it's not unusual to go to the hospital for a cold.
(I find the lab theory credible & worthy of investigation, just pointing out that in China a hospital visit doesn't imply anything about the severity of symptoms).
- hungryforcodes 5y agoIs that true though? I was under the impression that people have to personally pay their medical bills and visits in China, like in large parts of Asia, so generally they'd only go if it was something severe.
- nimbleal 5y agoYou’re right, they mostly do have to pay their medical bills but everyday treatments are inexpensive, and seeking professional medical attention is given very high priority. In my (10+ year) experience the average Chinese person is far more likely to visit the hospital for a minor complaint than the average Brit (where it’s free).
