if we are talking about a permanent event with serious loss of life rather than just,say, power cuts, fuel strikes something like that, then as we ourselves have seen with the last bad winters, without people to repair roads, clean out the drains, clean out ditches, cut back trees, hedges, overgrowth etc. it will not take long for the roads even the minor ones to become unusable, across country will not be any better because without people to manage the countryside that too will be impassible within a short time as overgrowth, then scrub and eventually trees take over.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
