UTILITIES-water,power, internet,cell/phones,heat

i expect the govern to work to keep much of these on. losing them would cause more riots.expect propoganda across the net but it stays on since ppl use it to order food.as long as ppl pay bills phones stay working. these 2 are computerized enuf to function.

heat is dependant on electric power. without it your furnace will not function. even electric stoves have a safety that shuts down without electricity. so even if the fuel can b trucked ot ran thru the pipes, it will fail.

electricity depends on workers. we have heard losing enuf of them to sickness will cause problems,<25% of the specialists. losing this collapses everything else. this will b a focus of the govenrment to keep on. give this 6mths. lucky us that is just in time for next winter.

water is dependant on chemicals and workers. hmm no CHINA. this could b a problem. wtaer and sewage both might stop flowing. well sewage may flow-back into the basement.hard to say how long. i'd say 3 to 6 mths if the wharehouses have enuf chemicals stocked.

gasoline-this is tuff to call. keep the trucks running. umm how long before there is nothing to haul? with nobody moving ,prices have dropped.this could b bad. if the price is too low,who will sell it? shut down productions. he gas stations may not fill the tanks,why when nobody is buying? so this could see issues.

at best overall we are looking at 6mths.if workers get sick and the govern can not replace them it might b sooner.
