I highly doubt that those '18 left village for business' do business in digital goods via online trade...
It spreads by contact(mostly by fluids) too, just less effective. Not to mention that dead body near city/village will most likely be gnawed by local rodents ets.

I feel that it's unrealistically easy, even if we don't have current pandemic to compare. Until he met his acquaintance he has nothing to identify him as authority or trustworthy at all. Yet, he managed to talk those selfish people down without a fight, not even a challenge. From what I felt, a newbie con artist probably can scam anything in that village in the hour. Well, they are a good match for ours naive MC. I still can't believe that no one predicted that some merchants would not comply with quarantine.
Btw, impressive lockdown.

Well, the thing is... even if some merchant won't comply with quarantine, what is he gonna do? Drill through 5 metres of icewall? lol
If push comes to shove - "Those who don't want to comply will die right here!".
And it's not like he don't have anything to identify himself, it was just left in background. As you can see, he is together with the chief/lord here, and not just some random grandpa, he is properly wearing sigil on his clothes. Falma is pretty famous, you know. The only one who he need to convince is the lord, all the others are the lord's job.

Two things...
1. The Plague, yrsenia pestis, comes in three forms (not sure if he covered this)
a. Bubonic, which is transferred through blood to blood contact
b. Spetisemic, which is transferred through drinking and bathing water
And
c. Pneumonic, which is transferred by sneezing, coughing, and even just breathing.
The first two have between 25-50% mortality if untreated, which is super bad.
The pneumonic variant, though... is about 90% mortality, and kills in about 4-6 hours. Kids would be playing outside, one of them would sneeze, and 4 hours later all of them would be dead. Entire villages were wiped out in a day in 1360, all over Europe, and to this day Europeans and Americans say "bless you" when people sneeze because it was long ago assumed that a sneeze meant death in a few hours.
It was so bad, we still say stuff from the 14th century that's been seared into the collective memory of Western Europe.
And all it takes is streptomyces medications to prevent it and save you..
Which brings me to my second point
2. If only it was this easy to get people to listen to epidemiologists when it came to diseases.
Pharma has it so easy, not dealing with Americans....

He never showed his badge there. That's one thing I felt strange. And I didn't expect serfs from the village to recognise the badge to begin with. He is the first royal pharmacist that interact with commoner, and at capital until very recently at that. Evan after that, he is entirely focus on the port town. I don't see why any serfs from hitherto unrelated village should recognise it. They might not even know those people have badge as ID. And they are just refugees trying to leave the village, the lord/chief is first shown guiding MC, after that point I agree it is realistic enough.
But back on the road, since last chapter the refugees showed strong objection, even called him evil spirit. But after he said it was the plaque, even they showed somewhat skeptic (in only one panel), they silently accept everything MC said after that. Totally believe it and abaddon everything they were before that at all. It's too abruptly to say the least.
And yes, I entirely EXPECTED MC to resorted to threatening them with magic. The fact that he didn't need to do it is why I said it's too easy.
I don't expect any fiction to be absolutely realistic. They can be overtly optimistic and I'd left it as plot choice. But I expect it to be at least consistent with itself, not just put plot devices there and there and just done like this.
