"If" it happens most of us are screwed. I have been to my share of ODT meets, 99% of us are fat old guys who couldn't run around the block, nevermind exist in some post apocolyptic world. I would bet that most of you would be in trouble within a matter of weeks without your heart meds, your high blood pressure meds, a regular diet, or air conditioning.
Nevermind that the rest of the world will come looking to take what you have. Picture this :You and your wife against a gang of heavily armed youths. You might last a couple days, but you have to sleep sometime, then you are dead.
If you do survive, the US will be a 3rd world country, no power, no infrastructure. Malaria, yellow fever, Bird flu, dengue, west nile virus, zika virus, 5-6 different kinds of encephalitis - all mosquito born diseases would make quick work of most of us. Any contact with populations would mean risking communicable diseases like flu, whooping cough, measles, chicken pox, polio. Poor sanitation would certainly mean dirrahea, and outbreaks of tuberculosis.
Sounds like fun.
