This list is entertaining. Malta is a not-so-fertile rock that is already under pressure from migration. Australia's climate appears to be far from ideal for the most part - and current political stability isn't worth much in a existential crisis anyway.

I recon Argentina (Patagonia) is the best place exactly because it is not attractive while boasts some of the lowest population density and loads of resources. Same goes for remote Far Eastern territories of Russia.

You can be anywhere on Earth as long as you were isolated. If this virus / bacterium is transmissible only in close quarters (i.e. no insect or animal can carry it, just via aerosol / coughing sneezing) you could be entirely safe by simply being away from people long enough for the hosts to die off (and the threat with it) (as with SARS et al). A secluded village or house that no one else visits would be enough (and there are plenty of those in France).

If the contagion can remain dormant via spores then you'd have to be careful afterwards, and be able to ward off potentially infected intruders.

Well, to be safe is to be far far away from humans, however that is really difficult 100% of the time for most of us.

I would have thought the UK a good location. Island nation, developed, etc.
Pull up the draw bridge, introduce rationing.

Japan (an island nation) made the list, but has a much larger aging population.

I don't think that Australia is a safe place for sure. You probably haven't ever been there. First of all it's quite dangerous for those tourists who don't care about their health and safety at all. Before going there you should check more info about this country or even to visit training courses to be ready for situations where you have to be responsible for your life and lifes of your mates.

Considering I live next to the international airport and commute by train to the capital of Europe I am perfectly safe already. :)

Being isolated, and there's plenty of places to live that way all around the world despite what the "best" lists imply, is an imperfect solution to avoiding the viral effects of the outbreak. Unless you have a multi-million dollar bunker with a 1 or more year supply of necessities and then climb in and close is up before you even know whether it's absolutely necessary or not you will probably be exposed at some point. Especially if this becomes a seasonal thing. On the other hand, we've already seen the grim foreshadowing of governmental overreaction coupled with our society's predilection for blame laying, fingering pointing and mobbing up to burn the witches, so I'd say the greatest advantage to holing up in the wilderness with a cache of supplies and a big pile of ammo would be to avoid all the secondary, societal effects of a pandemic.
