Those of you who are ready to finish or have finished the game Red Dead Redemption 2 will know that Arthur Morgan, the main protagonist of this game, was diagnosed with tuberculosis when he was nearing the final quarter of the game.

Reported from Mirror.co.uk, over the past few weeks Red Dead Redemption 2 players have seemed to be in despair when they learned that the protagonist’s life was short and speculated that Arthur’s death would be the end of the game. This is evidenced by the many who tried to save Arthur by searching for tuberculosis cure or a cure for tuberculosis on Google.

Although there was indeed a mission where Arthur got a prescription for medicine from his relatives, the drug turned out to be only a powerful version of the Health Cure item and did not cure Arthur’s tuberculosis.

Search by keyword tuberculosis cure on Google has continued to increase since this game was launched on October 26 last. You can see the statistical image below.

I haven’t finished it yet, but I know his death is inevitable.” Then there are those who say: “I’m not ashamed to admit that I searched for ways to find out about tuberculosis because of Arthur”.
