I certainly would feel terrible about having a SO die because I wasn't prepared with the correct medicines, as would I feel terrible about being so woefully unprepared. If I had the money to spare, I would certainly build a facility just like this.
But I too agree with Redlemon. Cost / Likelihood. I own a gun because I think that the liklihood of a home invasion robbery or aggravated assault are high enough that it justifies the cost in money, and (potential) cost in life to a would-be assailant.
I just don't find it likely enough that something this catastrophic will happen in my lifetime to justify taking money away from my more realistic, tangible, and short-term goals.
If I found myself much richer or the world less stable, I'd be in your shoes very quickly, and I do envy your planning.
One question that always plagues my mind, though, when I consider these "end of the world survival" scenarios is women. You've got the food, the shelter, the protection and medicine to potentially last months. But what are you going to do for your more .. animalistic.. needs? Furthermore, should you be the last surviving "group" of humans, would you be prepared to begin the species again?
Also, what are you going to do offset cave insanity and boredom? Are you stocking books, games, etc?
