Grid down: How long until mass deaths?
Lets say the grid goes down. I know the EMP Commission estimated that 90% of the US population would die within 1 year. When does the death toll start rising? Hospitals are supposed to have at least 96 hours of reserve fuel at maximum generator capacity. Maybe they can stretch that out to a week before power runs out. Then the majority of the ICU patients will expire. Most people have maybe a week or two at most of food in their homes. When do mass starvation deaths start? Maybe a month…
