LOL, yes I have. Nasty fevers. And easily avoided my friend, if you know how. Where I live, not an issue. But where I live sometimes, very much an issue. Again, electricity is not so hard to live without outside the city. Especially in less developed societies where the tractor is a water buffalo. The human gut can survive on almost anything. You do know that billions of people live day to day lives without electricity right? Well, they may have limited community access, but billions live without electricity having an effect on their immediate survival. Predominately white countries would be the only ones truly crippled. Would make for a very interesting future as South America, Africa, and SE Asia would overnight have the stronger economies....
