Re: The end of civilisation?

Yes, this reminds me of the old British film Threads, about a nuclear war (a laugh a minute, that one). Mankind ends up in the dark ages about a year on. Likewise Cormac McCarthy's sf novel The Road, where society completely falls apart and the only source of food is tinned or human.

I have considered writing about a post-virus society before, but gave up as I couldn't work out the practical details (how long does petrol keep? etc). I would be interested to know where I could find such details out.
