After reading the Crossed books, Has anyone else been left paranoid? On what would have if the C virus broke out?

I have become paranoid after reading volume 1, I’m at working thinking man what would I do if this virus breaks out and people just start offing each other. What’s my escape route? Where do I go to get food? Also it made me want to learn survival skills and how to move through woods and stuff like that. I’m wondering if other people feel the same way.
