But it also makes Jorah's decision to go straight through Valyria to avoid pirates really F'ing stupid. Stanis was advised to send his daughter there, so it's obviously common knowledge that stone people carrying this extremely infectious disease reside there. And Jorah obviously knows about it because, as soon as they started attacking the boat, he knew exactly what they were.

I don't think it's known what exactly goes on there once the greyscale infected are sent. Not to mention, whether the greyscale people are coherent or capable of surviving on their own.

And as far as the pirates go, I'm pretty sure they'd kill mormont straight away, since he has no ransom value and no gold of his own. Even if they don't kill him, Tyrion would be delivered to Cersei for the reward. Neither is in Jorah's best interest.
