westmoors Mar 2020 12:02pm, 24 Mar 2020 3,853 posts	0 westmoors Linds, can't remember the exact title but I think it was something like "End of the World Running Club".

Night-owl Mar 2020 6:04pm, 24 Mar 2020 33,536 posts	0 Night-owl Except now that ship can't go anywhere which is free from it. Unless its a spaceship
Columba Mar 2020 9:09pm, 24 Mar 2020 19,493 posts	0 Columba I remember that one. It was an asteroid strike in the northern hemisphere to begin with, then a few rescue ships from Australia arrived but there was very little time to get there, so they had to run. Over several days. The virus bit came in towards the end.
LazyDaisy Mar 2020 9:22pm, 24 Mar 2020 29,647 posts	0 LazyDaisy It sounds like a version of one of my 'a book for every year of my life' - On the Beach, Nevil Shute. In that case it's nuclear war. Not a book to read right now
Diogenes Mar 2020 9:24pm, 24 Mar 2020 46,567 posts	0 Diogenes Survival of the fittest, then. What if only three people made it in time (and they were all male), then you’d have Three Men In A Boat.
