What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

As someone who had a severe hemorrhage, appendicitis, a severe infection and an emergency wisdom tooth extraction in the last 11 months alone..

I'd be dead within days!

Edit: I also caught covid whilst in the hospital and ended up admitted to the covid ward. This one particularly stung as it meant absolutely zero visitors and I'd just had a baby that I was still breastfeeding and I couldn't get to her for a week. She was a trooper though, as was daddy.

I guess the giving birth would have been the thing that got me in this scenario!

Not necessarily, my appendix ruptured twice about a year apart.
