“There are estimates that up to 90% of the US population could die in a year.”

I absolutely do not believe that. I say pure BS.

The 90% estimates are based on the power grid going down completely for a year.

That means, no food or fuel delivery to cities. No clean water, no medicine, no hospitals.

Are you calling BS on the ability of an EMP to destroy the grid or the effects of destroying the grid?

Three EMPs, East coast, West coast, Kansas, would destroy America.

Most of us would starve to death, die from impure water or get killed after we run out of ammo by the hordes wanting what we have.

The rest would die of boredome and withdrawal from their smart phones, facebook, texting and game playing.

90% of the population live in and around urban areas.
There is a three-day supply of food in any city at any particular time.
There is a 28-day supply of food in the entire nation.

Just supposing that the people outside the metro areas survive for a year, that’s the 10%.

Probably half of the doped-up, sub-human urban zombies will survive each month by eating the other half,

That means at the end of 12 months, there would be 74,707 remaining of the original 306,000,000 urban dwellers.

So only 89.978% of the population would die. Nothing anywhere near 90%.

And have you seen the level of love and tolerance, kindness and compassion, cooperation and ingenuity, etc., shown by the urban populations, the college students, the government slugs, all the best and brightest the world has ever hosted.

Agreed. Although I think that 90% of snowflakes would die in a year.
