The world falls apart (1 Viewer)

[Fat Nick]

Whether it’s the coronavirus or zombie apocalypse, let’s say 2/3 of the population dies. I know people “prep” for this but would you really care to live knowing that’s your life from now on? 

Now, I’m sure decisions might change in the moment, but at my age, and if my family wasn’t with me, I can’t imagine wanting to push on. Of course, if my wife and kids survived, I’d push through for them. But alone, I think I’d check out. 

So my question is, what about you guys? Are you the type that’s going to become a survivalist and work to start a new civilization?

If civilization fell apart, and I had my family, I'd do my best to get as far away from whatever's left of civilization as possible.  Move into the woods, live off the land.  PEOPLE are the biggest threat at that point.  If I had to, I think I could carve out a manageable life with some stuff I could carry out of suburbia.

I have faith in my fellow man that society, while not the same, wouldn't devolve into Mad Max...just not if there are brain eating zombies around. Would be more like living in the 1800's for awhile.

Every apocalyptic scenario envisions that a substantial number of us will respond to the stresses by becoming savage predators (in much the same way that many will gravitate around the Neegan types). If you think about everyone in your family/social circle, how many can you predict will turn in that direction? How could you know?

These are rhetorical questions from me. I have no clue about the answers.
