A new film is being released shortly called 'I Am Legend'. It relates the the drama of an ordinary man who wakes up late one morning because his radio wasnt working. He gradually comes to realise that, because of a sudden deadly virus, he is the only person left alive in the world. The story tracks his experiences and how he survives humanly alone in the world. A person can survive 6 weeks without food only 6 days without water.  Remembering that there are numerous Superstores with enough food and bottled water fro which to obtain these essentials, but that fresh food and fresh drinkable water will soon vanish as the ponds and rivers become an undrinkable source that can be replied upon. Water and sewage plants will not function owng to there being no staff to run and maintain them. Petrol for boat and car journeys will only be obtainable by sucking out fuel from derelict petrol stations. Critically, there would be no medical help in the case of you breaking a limb, and there would be no easily obtainable means of creating heat for any purpose, bearing in mind that your facilities [matches, lighters, etc] for building fires would rapidly diminish.......  How would you go about surviving? More importantly, would you want to survive? Not quite shades of 'On the Beach', but intriguing. I would start by searching the whole country for someone else. If I could not find anyone I would probably kill myself. No TV, no sport, no women, no reason to live at all, it would drive me insane.
