After reading “One Second After”, I would venture that most of the deaths can be attributed to lack of electricity.
Dialysis machines not working, no refrigeration for insulin, no power for oxygen generators. Think of all the serious, chronic, medical conditions that are only kept in check because of a reliable supply of electricity.
When the electrical device that is keeping you alive no longer has electricity...
The book makes clear that there will always be a surge in deaths when there is a power outage of long duration.

Exactly what happened. Not sure why is that so hard to believe. I’ll check out that book. Thanks.
