    In complete isolation I think a lot of people (including me) would probably kill ourselves just after few months. We all need at least some social interaction to stay with healthy mind.

    Aside from that, what the hell is even the point of living if you are the only person left?

        Just when you think the “last person on earth” fantasy has been fully explored!

    • OMG, so many things would improve!

      OK, healthcare is an issue. But if only humans disappeared? There’s so much canned and freeze dried food; I could probably live off a single REI for a couple of years. Pharmacies to be raided, although I’d have to find an old-school reference for drugs, uses, and dosages. Hell, I’d spend a couple of years just outfitting a survivalist cabin near Yosemite or Frank Church Wilderness, and then a couple more backpacking out of the cabin, returning only for provisions.

      I’ve lived without prior before; it’s not that hard. I know there would be psychological challenges, but the physical ones really do compensate quite a bit.
