How Historically Accurate is Tuberculosis in Red Dead Redemption 2?

[@jujubees5855]

I had just completed a 4 month course of antibiotics for latent TB when RDR2 was released. It was a real punch in the gut seeing Arthur endure what I was fortunate to have a treatment.

[@thomasepik4406]

Dang that must have been scary seeing what would have happened to you if there was no treatment

[@BreadBanks5490]

[@Jenna_Talia]

It's honestly terrifying when you find out TB is still a thing. We have working treatments for it, vaccines, but it's still around and still a threat. Primarily due to misinformation, and greed/mismanagement of resources, but the point still stands.

[@StitchPen]

@@thomasepik4406 Latent TB lacks any symptoms, but I can imagine how concerning it would be having to spend months ridding yourself of it.

[@woahhbro2906]

Man, when Arthur got TB, it felt like someone kicked me in the chest. Mark of a great game. Arthur Morgan's story is really what makes RDR2 great imo. The overall story about the gang is okay, but Arthur's individual journey is great.

[@squidstone8399]

What you're saying is kinda the same thing. The whole story of the gang is actually to complement Arthur's story. The synopsis of the game says " Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and those of the ones who raised him" or something.

[@woahhbro2906]

@@squidstone8399 True, I guess what I meant to say was that I was expecting one full contained story involving the gang, but it was kind of like smaller stories while following the gang's adventures. Which is fine, I think that gives you the opportunity to focus on the characters more, like Arthur.

I bet Arthur felt like he got kicked in the chest too, with a disease like TB. ;)

Well tb could be dormant for years but due to Arthur's actions from being tortured by the O'Driscolls, almost drowning, constantly being on the run, being in a swamp/island, and escaping the man with no nose caused his immune system to be shot.

[@TheDante5541]

He got it from one of men he collected a debt from, who spit blood in his face. They kept saying the man was “very sick” so most likely that’s what he was sick from.

[@themadtitan7603]

Bonus Fact: Annenburg has a considerable German population living in it like the gunsmith and we obviously know the town is located in New Hanover, which might come from *'Hanover'* a city in Lower Saxony, Germany. Between the 1840s to 1850s, more than a million germans fled to the US to flee the riots, revolution and economic hardships at the time. So it's possible similar events took place in the RDR universe, with the german immigrants finding a home in the state of New Hanover.

I knew what Arthur had much earlier in the game. How I knew was kind of funny. I didn’t know how he got it or anything, but he coughs off and on. Then later after Mary gets on the trolley in Saint Denis, I noticed he coughed and it was like they wanted it to stand out. When I saw that, I thought that was kind of strange. Then I remembered from watching the movie “Tombstone” with doc holiday. That’s when I was like, “I’ll bet he has tuberculosis.”

[@mariakiwi1428]

And also his condition being made much worse or even becoming active, can be attributed to his stay in guarma. Humid climates are known to highly aggravate or awaken dormant infections.

[@petertr2000]

Its like in Fight Club, where they drop hints more and more and more until they hit it right in your face. You noticed Arthur clearing his throat really early one, and then it was more and more, and then the odd cough, then more of those too. Until it stopped being "just a bit of the game" to, "Hmm, he's coughing a lot".

Arthur literally rotting from TB Dutch: Arthur we just need money

[@themadtitan7603]

I think that's a prime, yet subtler example of Dutch's losing sight of his ways and what the gang represents, a family. He can tell something is clearly wrong with his prodigal son based on what he says in the last mission, yet he still chooses to send Arthur on these dangerous tasks all for a convoluted plan meant to distract the law away from them but can also just be Dutch carrying out his fantasies of chaotic freedom through rebellion of authority.

[@francoispitt]

@@themadtitan7603 I think youre right. the game does a great job of changing the way you view the gang. you have a completely different feeling after completing the Valentine heist in the beginning versus the factory heist towards the end. Dutch goes from a charismatic leader who proclaimed the value of loyalty and strength in numbers to a man who would let anyone drop if it meant more money and chaos.

Something interesting about TB is that since you got a ‘slow death’ as it were, so you’d be able to spend the last bit of your life with family and friends if you had those. Crazy how they romanticized it in the 19th century, though I suppose they’re not wrong

[@Asher8328]

The only thing that took me of the story regarding Arthur's TB is that doesn't infect anyone else. It's hard to imagine him being in such close contact with the other gang members and none of them becoming ill too.

[@KyleRaynerCh]

Yeah, especially Mary-Beth. I love her character, but she should've gotten it. In the Chapter 4 mission where you go to save Tilly from the Foreman Brothers, Arthur and Mary-Beth have a conversation and share a cigarette. By this time Arthur's TB was active, so he should have gotten Mary-Beth ill. Thankfully, it seems he didn't.

[@itsGreyHat]

She probably did have it but not have active tb. Her body was strong enough to keep the tb cells under control. I don’t know how to explain it better, I’m sorry. The reason why Arthur’s tb became active was how much stress his body was going under, from getting shot and beaten by colms gangs, the emotional stress from his friends deaths and his rough lifestyle most likely activated his tb

[@LegendarySilasWalker]

TB is airborne. You'd have to cough or sneeze in another persons face to give them the disease. Even a shared cigarette wouldn't transmit this due to the disease being present in the lungs, not in saliva.

[@spacemusic7337]

Actually that makes more sense than him infecting everyone, you see tb is a latent disease and is not infectious until it becomes active. Only in chapter 6 Arthur could have infected someone.

[@couchman-sw6jy]

That’s only because you’re uneducated about how TB works

What I really like about the idea of having Arthur suffering a terminal illness like tuberculosis, is that it's a way to toy around with the general idea that in an open world game like Rockstar games your avatar usually becomes an unstoppable force of nature by the late game, after maxing out on money, equipment, guns etc. Because the first RDR game exists we know that Arthur is not going to make it pretty much from the start of the game, but having him slowly declining, not being able to benefit from food anymore, and dying throwing the remainder of his forces into his redemption is the best way his story could have been handled.

[@billbombshiggy9254]

I have first hand experience with it. My FIL had it. One year of antibiotics before he was clear. Six months of them before he wasn't contagious. You don't just get exposed and go into active TB. You can have latent TB and most people do when they're exposed. You are asymptomatic and not contagious with latent. Something happens with your immune system and it'll trigger you into active where you will be contagious and show symptoms. Arthur was fairly young and healthy. What was the event that caused his body to be unable to fight it off and cause him to go into active TB? I have to assume the beating from the Odriscolls was the trigger.

[@burninsherman1037]

Being beaten and shot by the O'driscolls, stress of being on the run, his family falling apart around him, everything with Guarma, and all the humidity and decay around while living at Shady Belle and Lakay. Dude's entire life after being exposed to tb was just a series of back to back potential triggers for it to become active.
