The virus/bacteria living on the doll for a short time after being handled by infected skin?), but it's implied that the infected area is the area that transmits the disease because they keep showing that specific area of Jorah's wrist and then him covering it up, and I highly doubt he'd be so touchy with anyone if he thought he could give them greyscale.Then it's bad writing. And I'm not normally hard on the show. It's a TV show, and I enjoy it for what it is, but it should have internal consistency.
Dany doesn't get Greyscale.
It isn't implied anywhere that you have to touch the infected part of a person, quite the opposite. If he thinks he's safe just to cover it up, then he's misinformed...OR the show writers need to make it clear that you have to touch the infected part, or maybe it's not contagous in early stages or something. They have done neither.
If it can be some dead skin cells on a doll, then the bracer on Jorah's arm is going to be a possible contageous object. It's possible his character doesn't realize how contagous he is, but from what the viewers know, he shouldn't be touching people!!!
If they just gave him greyscale just to advance the "I have nothing to lose" story, after multiple characters going on about how contagious and deadly it is, that's just bad writing.
