Bringing up infrastructure problems is a good point. Unless you can go completely off the grid and find a way to isolate yourself from refugees, people carrying a disease, ect; the chances of surviving any type of deadly pandemic are pretty slim and rely heavily on luck.

It actually amazes me how overtaxed we've allowed some of our infrastructure systems to become. For example, our power grid. Near cities, in the summer, we experience brownouts and blackouts simply due to the extra strain that comes from people using their air conditioning units. Now Chevrolet is bringing out a car that runs off of electrical power from the same electric grid. If we're having blackouts now, imagine how taxed the system will become if people are running their a/c units and charging their cars at the same time? Makes me glad I have a generator and fuel on hand.
