there was a huge plague/biological warfare scenario and 80% of the population of the world died from it but you were one of the people immune and left behind?

I want serious answers as well as the usual goofy ones.

I would move to Rhode Island, after taking a tour of the rest of the country, searching for survivers and looting, and start to build a utopian civilization, which I would name Camelot... That would be the city on land... I'd also buil a gian university, the center of the world's knowledge, on an island of the coast, and that I would call Avalon...

you would search for looting? Who is looting? Is he some prophet of the apocolypse? :p

I might go to Rhode Island but only during the fall and spring... otherwise I'd migrate with the weather South in the winter and North in the summer. I'd also learn to fly a plane and go to Europe to see if there are many survivors there but then again they'd probably all go cannibalistic and eat me. I think I'd settle for my island paradise in the South Pacific, safe with a lifetime supply of first aid kits.

I guess I would make a killing. As a lawyer I am sure under those
circumstances everyone will be out to sue everyone else!

Oh Heck, I dunno, I guess the answer is to survive I guess.
Oh, and perhaps declare all land Terra Nullius
(land belonging to no one) and take possession and become
the supreme commander!

I am sure that I would take it upon myself to lead the others who were left (as I was...)...I am a natural born leader, but, it is not a position I enjoy...so, it is not a job-title I pursue...

I would be able to discern the appropriate duties of the 'gang' based on ability...

And, we would KICK ASS!!

i would probably go krazy and possibly insane from losing the people i love. Then the scientists(if they survived??..??) would probably test me since they want to know how i survived from it so they can use that source for future benefits?-er no. Who knows! then i'd probably have to reproduce and all that krap which would be VERY tiring :\ or maybe they'd use that cloneing system lol. but anyway... i'd rather put on some billie holiday while reading and toast to the fact that i actually lived..lol then care about the concerns of the world..

WHOA..when i think about it, if this was a movie and they put billie holiday at the end where the credits show, that would probably give off some eery and yet "pleasant" feeling
