She might survive and suffer from something else. People did survive the plague more than we believe. Most died in "big cities" and the main problem was hygiene. For now they both wait.
You know what I find strange? Why the child's legs aren't covered? If you feel sick you have the chills.

I visited a museum in the east part of the Netherlands where mummy was the topic. Not those from Egypt but Europe. Due to the (sour) soul they found many and they are still intact. A part looked like those in bandages. There were also "bodies" of mothers and children where they wrote how they grinded parts of those who died of the plague to make a med out to save others (nope, that didn't work out).
