The author starts with a world-wide pandemic that apparently, with in three days, wipes out about 95 percent of the world's population.  (Any epidemiologist would refute that premise.  It is impossible.  Wide spread pandemics take at least three months, probably more likely six months to a year, providing ample warning to public health officers, which would enable many means of stopping it's spread.)  There are many false assumptions in how things work, and what is workable.  For instance, four families band together and take fully loaded canoes 50 miles across part of Lake Erie in a major thunderstorm; and almost all survive with all their possessions.
