The real threat is an EMP blast that takes out the grid. A million could starve.

A LOT more than one million.

A H Bomb EMP attack could destroy this country and indirectly kill HUNDREDS of millions.

Tens of millions could starve.

Millions would die within a month as food, medicines and health care distribution would come to a halt. Anyone with the need of daily medication would be in big trouble almost over night.

Anyone in the hospital and not ambulatory would die very quickly as back up generators would be fried right along with the regular infrastructure. Same with nursing homes.

It would be a catastrophe of epic proportions.
