Food spoilage, then food shortage.

Scary chit for sure.


Not to mention the immediate breakdown in social restraint and roving bands of those who would take everything from you including your life.

Reading the books reminded me of the more recent movie, The Book of Eli.


It won't be the lone survivalists that might make it, it will be decent (but shall we say unrestrained/ non-liberal minded?) people banding together who might make it.


Two good books dealing with this concept are "Alas, Babylon" (Nuclear) , and "The Earth Abides" (pandemic disease).
