You're a dumbass if you do this. You could:
-Run out of food
-Run out of gas and be stranded forever
-Get caught in the storm and be shoved overboard
-Get attacked by pirates (No, not for them to "steal yer booty" but you'll get killed for whatever you have.)
Anyway, I'd most likely hide in my attic/on my roof until things quieted down, find other survivors, and make some sort of community if at all possible.
If not, I hope my flight simulators have payed off.
Because, you're totally going to be able to fly a plane out of the infected area. Once word of a massive epidemic got out to governments, most places would be quarantined and, being in air = missle on yer ass.
