Do you think Gerald has gotten medicine for tuberculosis? About 50% of infected people die from TB without treatment, but that's in this day and age. This story takes place in Panem, District people don't get medical care like we do. If a person is in close contact with an infected person for a prolong amounts of time are at a higher risk of becoming infected. TB is transmiting though the air or saliva and since people touch their face about 2,000 and 3,000 times a day, people can get TB from handling objects that an infected person has touch. But this is Clove's Husband's story so he'll decide the outcome.
