Like, I think I've seen some Vambiolaria and Suemonia outbreaks played for laughs. Given the Current Events, though, I highly doubt an All-HQ Virus Outbreak is going to be played for laughs anytime soon, though, unless it's like... a rare Hobbit disease that makes your feet grow hair at 3 inches a minute.

The common cold does exist; Bilbo had one when he landed in Lake Town. Elves and Dwarves are hardier, though -- pretty sure Elves don't get sick at all? Gandalf is a Maia, so not sure why he'd be getting sick. I bet Aragorn has had basically every disease ever in his years of travel; his immune system is pretty jacked even before the Numenorean ~noble blood~ stuff happens. I guess I would worry most about Boromir and the Hobbits getting laid low by a cold........ I'm sure there's a sick fic about this!
