If CV kills everybody in the world except about 500,000 people, and you are one who lives, what will you do? I mean, all the wealth in the world will be yours to split with about 499,999 other people. And there will probably only be a few of them in your area.

What are you going to do first?

Then what are you going to do?

And then, etc., ... ?

Oh a post apocalyptic scenario

The wealth is going to be useless, do you know why? Because there will be 499,999 with the same amount of
wealth. There will be no shop workers, delivery drivers, pizza makers, etc. so the wealth will be pretty useless
unless...
Few people have the wealth and the others work to keep it "normal" 🤔

Learn to farm.

Would be great, all fruits still there, animals still there , you can take anything you need and probably masturbate to/till death as would of done anyhow.

if all has the same wealth then who will serve for us?

though Lucky are those people that has a Skills in Physical life,i mean those who know how to carpentry ,to Fish,to farm and etc.

and i am one of those so all i need to do is have tools and equipment then i will offer service for other so i will become more wealthy than others and soon there will be rich and poor again.

also i will find many wife to spread my family and will fill the earth again with Humans.

I doubt that at least some wealth can be reached, and there will be no use in them, because you will have nothing to exchange them for. You’ll be lucky if you can find a stable source of food and heat so that you can survive at all.

As women seem to be more likely to survive than men, I'm not sure I want to be drawn into my activities in a world that is predominantly populated by women. :)

First thing will be driving a lambo all around the world. ;D

The need to find VR sex assistant or dolls. :P

Then I have to clean everything on my own. >:(

Questions remain. Will all of the 500,000 be spread out? Or will they exist in small groups? Will they be healthy enough to hunt for meat, and to plant gardens and grow veggies?

If you happen to be the only survivor for 100 miles around, how long will it take for you to connect with sombody else?

Of the 500,000 who survive CV, how many will starve to death, or catch some other disease and die? Will there be predator people out there who will rape and plunder anyone they find who is having a little success rebuilding?

If the virus only kills 1-5% then this is a bit academic. Also there won't be and health care systems, so people will be more healthy from natural immunity.

But if long-term deaths from CV are 95 to 99%, who would ever let us know until we could see people falling like flies around us?

I would collect all the toilet paper I could find, locate a giant vault to store it all, and then dive in and swim around like Scrooge McDuck.

But if you died from CV, it wouldn't be fair to the rest of the world to go without toilet paper.

 :D

If the quality of life is too bad and I have lost my loved ones, I will most likely die by suicide. Not worth living anymore.

But if I have access to power station, be able to restore it, get access to datacenter, I will probably start rebuilding the civilization with skills I have. And implement my vision of proper society.

People are built to have a spouse. If your spouse dies, go out and find a new one so that you have a new leash on life... or on your neck, anyway.

What to do if a 2-in-1 best friend and love interest have sex with other random guys and does not find me attractive as a man? I recently broke such relationship but I have no interest in finding another women. I am afraid she might catch the crownvirus because she work with people, including many foreighners.

I did everything to provide her with shelter, money and wanted to live together and start family. She rejected me, and physically hit me on some occasions. Girls find me pretty unattractive as a man. Many girls told me that I am good as a person, with great humor and caring attitude, courageous and honest. The girls I had sex with also told that my dick is pretty good size and performance. Only the unattractiveness. Should I kill myself or live alone for rest of my life?

First, this is a difficult situation. So, don't feel bad about any mistake you might make.

Second, ask her to stop, and be faithful to you only. If she is willing, forgive her if she makes a mistake now and again. but warn her that there will come a time that you will break up if she doesn't remain faithful to you. Work with her on ways to help her remain faithful.

When it is time to break up (because she won't change), make a clean break. Done with her; never go back. To keep you from falling back, find another person who is going to be faithful. Make as absolutely sure of this new person as you can. There are many people who will remain faithful. Date for a year to find out what kind of person she is.

Since you are way past all this, keep on looking. There are good, faithful people out there.

If everyone is rich then who is going to work for the other. As said, the world will beuseless. We need food and since no one will be willing to farm for the sake of the others. The food will die down and some people might actually starve. It would not be any fun. Living with some people may seem annoying but when they are taken away and you remain alone you will wish they were back with you. A city is just full of cars and it will ve worse for you if you do not know how to drive. You will be stuck there your whole life. I would just sit in a corner and worry all my life. Loneliness is the only result.

But think. The land area in the USA is tremendous. And there is about 1/3 of the land set aside for national forest and wilderness and parks, etc. And guess what. Most of that land doesn't have roads through it very much. So, you can't even use cars there.

There are about 330,000,000 people in America. With 500,000 in the whole world, if they were all in the USA, that would be only 1.5% of what is there now. Time to use the walk-a-mobile to get out there and inhabit all those non-city, empty lands.

Wealth is useless, just take whatever you want and start reproducing

A world 🌎 population dropping from 8,000,000,000 to 500,000 would mean terror and horror was most likely experienced by everyone. So those remaining people would have really bad ptsd.

It would be pretty sure you lost many of your friends and family if that many people die.

So for me I’d find a place to be alone and hang out by myself till I die.

Or maybe not.

If only 500,000 people remain, are we sure that all those 6.95 billion bodies would have been taken care of? I think the first task would be to actually BURN all the cities/ population centers with all those bodies so that they don't rot and spread more mutations.

I'd then like to bring together a group with enough brain, brawn and chores capability. Next thing I'll need in an apocalypse are obviously enough trucks and rides and a fuel tanker. A few armored vehicles from the nearby millitary centers would be good to have along with arms and ammunition.

Setting up a farm and assigning tasks to everyone would be next. People would pretty much go mad in the absence of something to put their minds to. I am still not sure though that earth will be able to take all those rotting bodies all at once or the atmosphere will remain survivable after we put my "Burn the cities" plan into action.


First of all, if she was a one-sided love interest, then this was not a "relationship" that you can claim to have broken. You just took yourself away from something that never was there. If she was a best friend but having sex with random guys, well, to every young man out there, if she calls you a best friend but doesn't fancy you, she is just using you. No women will ever deny having the hots for someone she finds capable enough. Please note that her not finding you capable doesn't mean you are not. Its just that you are not his type but she likes keeping dogs. Its a sort of self-gratification that such women derive from being close to men they basically consider worthless, probably telling themselves that they are doing it as a favor/ philanthropy.

This "I am worried about her" is the worst thing a man can do to himself after having called a bitchy woman "best friend". Basically, you are unable to let go off the fact that she used you and will continue using you if you hold onto this "worry". You know she enjoys the backup protection where she won't even have to give sex to you for the manly tools you bring to the table.
You also seem to be low on self-preservation. I bet you don't get aggressive easily and probably think of others before yourself. Being a decent human being doesn't mean you leave yourself out for the crows.


These are the Man tools you brought to the table. She must have identified early on that she could emotionally manipulate you without having you ride her ass in return. Any women who gets something from a man without giving anything in return (not just sex but also respect and recognition), will in 100% of the cases stop feeling the hots for you. That is because you gave her everything too easily and never made her earn it. She doesn't respect you as a mean so naturally she doesn't find you "attractive as a man". Please don't fall for the teary-eyed "but you are my best friend". A male best friend deserves manly respect.

You should stop deriving self-worth from girls finding you attractive. Women find power and money attractive. And of course a good dick. The day you stop wallowing in self-pity and recognize your own self-worth as an man inside your head, and stop letting "women" fuck with your self-worth, you will see that bitches line up.

Its some very basic steps:
1. Always wear well-fitting smart clothes and good shoes
2. Keep your hair and beard trimmed.
3. Keep your skin clean. Spend on the occasional cleanup.
4. Workout enough to show arms.
5. Earn money.
6. Wear a signature cologne.

Trust me, Good, kind, real feminine woman will line up. Not the kind of life-sucking bitches that tell you they find you "unattractive". These bitches hate the kind of disciplined, self-preserving man that does the above things. That is because they hate the accompanying responsibility and devotion that comes with it. That is why they leech off of men like you who will take a woman's word for being "unattractive".

The system is not going to work with 500.000 people when it is made to work with billions of people.
The wealth of the world is going to be reduced by the same amount as the people in the world is reduced. Those 500.000 will turn back to the dark ages when they were farmers and hunters...

People with guns will take everything from people without guns.

If everyone is dead then who burried them. There would be a lot of dead stinking bodies everywhere. All the money in the world wouldnt matter at that point. If you have ever been alone at home for more than a month then you will understand what I mean. That annoying brother or sister that you hate so much is what you will miss the most. All the freedom you have will not be omportant to you. Seeing a lot of people dead and rotting will not make you feel any better. I would try to learn as much skills as possible and farm for food. Try to find someone I can marry and have kids, the world has to go on.

How long do you have to cook the CV dead before they are fit to heat?

 :o

Yuck..!!

Once cooked over an open flame or in boiling water for 30 minutes, pretty sure everything is fit to eat. Still there is the problem of storage..

If this happens, then I do not think that there will be any significance for all types of currencies, because I will not need them as long as I can take anything I want for free.

But in your taking of things for free, remember than many of these things will last only so long. Even canned goods expire after a while.

Get a truck that runs well, store up some of the last of the gasoline that exists, and use the truck to find good, food-producing land, and grow a big garden. The truck can haul whatever tools you need to grow the garden.

If your spouse survived, you will need help that you can trust. It won't be easy to find other people that you can trust, and you can't do everything without help.

The best bet for younger people is to do this, and to get married and settle down and raise a family. There won't be any Social Security. You will need kids who love you to support you in old age.

You will need some way to value the prices for goods or services when group of survivors come together. You can use anything, including bitcoin. Only problem I can imagine is the declining mining power as unmaintained miners and powerplants shut down because people maintaining them have died. As a result the block time adjustment will be pretty bad.

You still be in need of services, like car mechanics to repair or upgrade your mad max style truck or dentist to repair bad teeth. Even jack of all trades need some more experienced person to do certain things. I only agree to the part that consumer goods will not be so valuable as they are today because they will be plenty of them left.

I have been alone in my home for years. Including months without any real life contact, except cashier at the shop. Working computers and internet connection is sufficient for me to substitute human contact and keep my brain busy with thinking and ideas.

And now comes my hijacked thread part  :)
We were best friends for like 4 years and also we had sex like two times when drunk. We understand each other from half word, can complete each others sentences. We understand each others quirks and little secrets. We complement each other by using our strengths ad weaknesses. We even have similar sleep patterns. I agree we are not the classic romantic couple, but I matter to her as a brother, maybe? When I first kicked her out from my life after she flirted with my friend, she almost died in suicide. When I left home country without notice to go to eastern Ukraine, she was in tears in phone call to my mother. Some time have passed since then, but I am not insignificant to her.

I am pretty much useless, except for emotional support. I doubt she will live with me for weeks just to empty my fridge. And we purchased groceries together. And I offered her to live with me in nice apartment I rented, she refused. She also refused money from me without any conditions, just that she does not need to work so hard. She want to be strong and independent.

She is different from other girls. Maybe because she is bisexual and like more feminine looking boys? I am more like average sized with some body fat but thin hands. And I like wearing leather bomber jackets and some surplus military wear, not the feminine gay stuff that is trendy today.

I need her for my own well being. I do not want to live rest of my life like I lived it to this day - alone. Or live my only life with girl that is not as attractive or understanding as she is. I really do not like idea that other guy or coronavirus fucks her.

We were best friends for like first year, she had another boyfriend and I had two different love interests in same time. We were just hanging out and gaming together.


1. Hard to do with the economic hardships, I wear military surplus clothes and combine with clothes available from charity.
2. I have shaved head and no beard or mustache.
3. I wash regularly.
4. It is hard to me because I for unknown reasons do not gain muscle mass. I haul water canisters almost my own weight + gear for miles trough wilderness every other day. But my body does not change much.
5. Again, hard to do in the place I live.
6. Do not know what it is, but I suspect cologne is a synonym for deodorant. I got a good one, and my love interest likes it. She also wear male deodorant from time to time.

And most important, today I called her and we talked. I feel much better, I can function as a human at least, the heart problems with racing heart and chest pains went away in instant. I have no great hopes for future, but again I have someone I love and can talk to.

You aren't talking about Elena, are you - http://www.kiddofspeed.com/?

If you are not self-sufficient now, you (and 80% of survivors) would die of starvation and/or other diseases.

The wealth we consider wealth is only wealth in the context of our civilization.

The pieces of paper with pictures of dead people are useless, your guns are useless without bullets.  You get the picture.

In such a post-apocalyptic scenario, wealth is the ability to grow food, hunt with primitive tools, live without electricity while maintaining healthy hygiene, that is the real wealth.   Nobody would care about bricks of gold or other metal or stacks of banknotes.

Be careful what you wish for.

i'd love to travel the world if i can. fewer crowd so it would be the perfect time

You can't travel the world now even if you want to Everything is banned so the crowd is low If you are healthy with the virus you can help other people so that they are aware and do not spread the virus too much. Now you will get yourself infected with many diseases traveling around the world.

Exactly!

Part of the reason I started this topic was to get people to think of what prepping really is like. Think of the people in the old west of the USA. They had to build their own wagons if they wanted a wagon. They had to be part blacksmith if they wanted to build a plow. And they had to know how to mine the ore and smelt out the iron, etc.

Today, prepping starts with a lot of things that are already built... things that we can convert into living in the wild. But think about when gasoline is no longer refined. Essentially all our cars and engines will be useless. The best engines we will have then are diesels, that we can run off sunflower oil that we can grow and press out ourselves. It will be work. We better have a big REAL, need for engines before we waste time on this.

There are a whole lot of things like this that will fall by the wayside because we will live better without them. We need to get away from denial of this, and start to look at what living might become if Coronavirus can't be stopped.

I don't think this virus will destroy our civilization.  Not this time.

The economy will be destroyed and it will take a long time to recover.

The measures of social distancing, lockdowns, etc. will flatten the infections curve but will destroy the economy.

We never had to pick between the death count and the GDP numbers.

PS. If this virus mutates into something more deadly, say an 80% mortality rate, you might get your 500K scenario. Most deaths would be indirect; lack of medications, health care, sanitation, food, water, etc.

PPS. With 500K people left, the average population density will be around 2 people per 1000 square miles. Chances are you will not see anyone else alive besides people near you, in your lifetime.

More than likely, the living will exist in pockets of several hundred to several thousands. Their whole pocket area wasn't affected because they were prepared nutritionally, or had healthy immune systems from not being vaccinated.

8)

Very unlikely, obesity is a problem, most humans cannot do 5 pullups, nevermind stalking prey for 20 miles, in cold, or extreme heat.

In such a post-apocalyptic scenario, a simple skin rash or cut would take out an average modern human.

Do you have at least two military field surgeons, few engineers, chemists, plenty of tradespeople, organic farmers, a variety of livestock in your group?

Do you know how to mill wheat, bake bread, make butter, alcohol, cheeses, process wild game, cure meat, make soap, prepare hides, plow the fields with horses, prepare herbal creams and other medications?

A simple root canal or an inflamed appendix, complication during pregnancy would be a death sentence.

More likely than not, survivors would be scavengers, killing other survivors for food and resources. Think Mad Max scenario.

A healthy immune system is not enough to survive such a scenario.

Specialization is what helped us to get where we are but at the same time, it is our weakness.

If there are only 500,000 left in the whole world, where are they going to be located?

We might have groups in big cities who were immune for some reason. But these people will probably not be together, because immunity isn't something that is a together thing... at least not in big cities.

Most of the groups will be separate, tiny civilized villages, stuck away in some far mountain valley where they were never visited by outside people. There might be groups of several hundred to several thousand out there. As long as they never contact anyone from the outside until the virus simply dies away, they will be the new civilized centers of the world.

Since it is weakened immune systems from vaccination - and bad food/eating-habits - that is causing people to not be able to fight this disease, people in outer villages will be the safest and strongest, immune-wise.

8)

If only 500K are left, this would mean a widespread transmission of a very deadly disease has occurred. 

All locations and groups would be equally affected.  So you can expect that your group will be infected sooner or later
and trimmed to 1-5% of its original size.  Unless you completely cut off all contact with the outside world.
It means no contact with any other human being outside of your group, ever.

Incest would be a big problem going forward, even if your group solves all other issues.

Basically, anyone in the surviving 500K population would be fucked.  Different groups might be immune to different strains of the virus.

Some would kill themselves once they would realize that the 'old' way of life is gone.

Better hope this will never happen.  It would be a total nightmare.  'The Walking Dead' scenario.

If we meet their needs they're going to never leave during this crisis. you're right that they ought to provide adequate food but also if i'm 1 in 500,000 living through coronavirus then i will be able to get up to the poor poor people of society to assist them.

People will mostly be spread out. They will live in pockets around the world where CV never reached. It will probably be difficult for anyone to even reach most of the people in the world. You will be blessed if you happen to live in an area that has, say, a thousand friendly people, who all want to help each other... AND who are reasonably CV immune for some reason.

The crownvirus will not kill 99% of world population. 20% of world population dead is worst possible outcome based on current stats on mortality. As for me, I am optimistic. Low population density and quarantine measures are slowing down virus spread in my country. Life have changed, for some people a lot, for me - almost nothing have changed.

As for my loved girl - we are friends again. I agreed that she will have other male friends and eventually she will have a boyfriend. And I will not be boyfriend. The time we spend together is so great that I agreed. I understand she want to be independent both financially and emotionally. We spent time walking in woods, playing computer games and sleeping together while having deep philosophical conversations till we fell asleep. Life is kind of normal again.

I would rather have a dozen wives than 1 like your situation.

Who would be worried about CV killing off 99% of the world's population? If your statistics ignore the 7.5 billion that are alive right now, 100% of the world's population has been killed off by something.

8)

I love this girl, she is my soulmate, we have fun together and she is beautiful, special looking with soft skin like no other women have. For sex I have other women. Too bad that my loved one does not fulfill my dreams.

With lethality of 20% according to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ we realistically could lose close to one billion people worldwide. We still be left with 6 billion people on this earth. To have only 500 000 people left alive after pandemic is unrealistic unless Ebola spreads easily.

History shows that we have lost well over 7 billion people since the Great Flood of Noah's day, a mere 5,000 years ago.
