if most of the world population suddenly died what would you do

a virus

Kinda strange that the majority of the people here think they'd do specifically non-social things, like stockpiling food, raiding empty houses, setting up defenses, etc. The sensible thing to do when there's not a lot of people is form close groups of family members and compatible people, as your chances of survival go up quite a bit.

So naturally, I'd collect everybody I could find, set up an interim government (just enough to get started with reconstruction, food collection, defense, etc for the group) and go clear out a patch of land near clean water and other good resources.

If you think about it, 95% death rate means a whole lot of public services we use now aren't going to be working in a few weeks, many of them turning very dangerous in the process. Electrical power, city water, waste disposal, and sewage are probably the big ones. And let's not forget, you have 95% of the world's human population transformed into corpses, with the attendant diseases and disease carrying scavengers, flies, fungi, and bacterium. Finding clean anything is going to be really difficult, but your chances go up with more people.

1.Build a huge hilltop fort around my house, I already have a great lookout point because of my position.
2.Collect supplies, guns, ammo etc.
3.Search for survivors.
4.Prepare for the worst. Something has killed everyone off, who's to say it's not zombies or aliens? Get the guns.

I think I'll have to save this answer with the number of times I've done it.

yeah the first thing that came to mind was zombies, so read the zombie survival guide and that what i would do

This seems very sililar to another thread from recently...
but, Even with other survivors, I'd do the same thing.
1. Get zepplin
2. Get fuel + Bombs.
3. Have fun
(Optional) 4. Attract other people attention (By blowing things up). maybe meet/ help them.

i like this idea too

 

[SpikeyGirl]

Hope no one cottoned on that it was my fault then read over my virus research to see where I went wrong.

 

[Neonbob]

I would stay indoors with my guns and games for a bit. Then I'd go out and poke all the bodies with a stick. That would probably take up a day or two.
Sigh. It would be nice and quiet, too.

 

[TheCameraman]

Shed a tear.

Then go out and look for survivors. Probably try to rebuild and repopulate again.

 

[LewsTherin]

I'd make some phone calls to see who isn't dead, watch the news, take the necessary precautions, then probably expand the vegetable garden. Alot.

hope like hell my girlfriend lived and then try to re-populate the earth, sorry couldn't resist

My heart would explode with joy, I would praise each god & goddess in every religion & fate & the natural order as my duty & my priviledge to continue to exist.

Whichever agent elicited this change, has done mankind a favour for which man can never in a million years of selfless devotion repay the kindness a thorough proper scourging of humanity would provide.


Id apply to fill any vacancies that were made open in critical areas like 'not making the nuclear plant explode' or sewage treatment.

Although bear in mind 5% of the worlds population at his time is estimated to be 338,605,342. Thats still a bloody lot of people.

5% or less

 

[PyroZombie]

Kill the rest, perferably with a Icepick, and flame thrower.

Thats still alot of people. 1% of 6.7 BILLION is still alot Duh.

less as in it could be 0.00000000000001% survive

 

[Tales of Golden Sun]

I'd throw a party.
No more overpopulation! EARTH IS SAVED!(at least for now)

 

[historybuff]

I'd read The Stand by Stephen King and possibly stay away from Las Vegas.

Also, I'd be very, very careful about looking for supplies because I might get shot.

 

[5stringedbandit]

Wasn't this done yesterday?

OT:Look for other survivors and raid tesco.

I'm more of an Asda man.....
