If something like this happens being among the not-hit won't do you a damn bit of good. Yeah, the virus won't get you.

The infrastructure collapse that results, on the other hand, will.

There is NO personal protective action you can take to evade this sort of thing. None.

perhaps having a totally off-grid redoubt might do the trick or having the ability to live completely at sea.

One must go into the trees and have very effective means of deterring and detecting the few hardy souls who have the ability to approach.

Have no doubt that whatever remains of the hands of the once power structure such as former cops, Nat Guard and govt agents will form their own gangs and target survivors under color of authority and with the advance knowledge of their former positions. As for violent criminal gangs, i expect them to be summarily executed by the people.

Once something like this happens, there is no law and people know it. It will be kill prophylactically.
