In USA this has never been seen. We are the most out of shape.. not all are. We are the most addicted to medicines. Not all are. If say one hits over Chicago area… we can only speculate. I would stay home and wait.
People will rob, loot, rape, shoot, beat up. Others will panic shoot. What happens when the millions on prescription drugs that have side effects?
Cities and such are different. Even if 80 percent of the city is helping. The 20 percent doing the crazy stuff will be something.
It is all hypothetical and I am thinking more on the side that most cities and huge percentages of USA population do not have a foundation in God. Their foundation is built on a rug that could be pulled at any moment.
Very few people are able to be self reliant. We have millions of people in the hidden areas of our culture that do things to keep people able to complain about how racist someone is—these people do some very important work. Without electricity they will not be able to do it.
To liken this to the Bible. Think of locusts plague as the same as if we lost electricity for a week.
One year my neighborhood lost power for 2 weeks in the middle of the coldest winter -15 which felt like -40. We are the only home within thousands of homes that has a wood burning fireplace-free standing high efficiency one.. not a regular one. We were the only ones left in the whole neighborhood. We had water and firewood.
I'm not saying everyone is going to get out. Lots of people will die. That's obvious.
But it's a false sense of security thinking that just because someone lives out in the country they'll be safe from others looking to survive.
It's ludicrous that you think people in a life-or-death situation wouldn't do something as simple as walking or biking away from the city/suburbs because it's a little inconvenient or causes some discomfort.
Look at what illegal immigrants do to get here. Many of them walk for months to get here. They cross deserts and rivers. If you're right about Americans being too stupid and lazy to walk out of cities, then whenever the US rebuilds, it's going to be mostly people from Mexico and Central America, because they're certainly able to survive harsh situations.
Seriously, if you were visiting someone in the closest city to where you lived when it happened, would you just throw your hands up in the air and sit around, waiting to die? Or would you find a backpack, some bottled water or gatorade, and a jar of peanut butter or some other calorically dense food, steal the nearest bike, and head home?
Also, I have no idea what you mean by this:

Depends on the city and what city. Sure everyone will do what they can. It is a very multi angled view. For instance we have millions who came in the USA coupled with a EMP. Those millions are already acclimated. They are pawns with bishops.
The enormity of an EMP has always been a thing. Back in the old Soviet Union days we knew they were prepared for an EMP and they used things like tube capacitors.
A million people all looking for a bike at the same time has never been seen. Babies, children, sick, elderly, disabled. So much.
The whole wearing tin foil derived from the fact that tinfoil protects from an EMP. We are mocked for saying such in the USA. Maybe a home that is covered with tinfoil will keep the car able to work. That would be huge if timed correctly in an event as this.

So in society we have those who work at the poop factory so when we flush toilets the water gets treated. We have people who keep the water pumps working so when we turn on the faucet we have water. We go to the gas station and fill up the car-people work so we can have convenience.
Go to a college campus that has thousands of students and ask them who takes care of the vending machine, water, toilets, heck ask them is they know what a gold coin is worth… maybe 1 will know. Same in neighborhoods. We have a foundation that requires maintenance and everything requires electricity to maintain it.

My expectation of surviving anything like this would be 3 seconds. Those who make it a week will be very successful and maybe more successful. Those who fall or killed by Americans coupled with illegal people will be within the first week.
It is all theory until it happens though. Nothing I can do about it. It is fascinating that Tucker says something that also said during WW2 and many built underground bunkers.
Well, guess America is destined to be resettled by illegal immigrants if things go bad. Because they certainly don't have any trouble figuring out how to travel long distances in harsh situations, with few possessions and resources.
They can cross deserts and rivers on foot, walking for weeks with little food or water. They do it all the time.
Sad that Americans couldn't be bothered to loot some stores for supplies and walk out of the cities. Survival of the fittest, I guess.
I don't know why you believe desperate people wouldn't /couldn't walk for a few days for a chance to survive. It's just walking.
And if people just can't seem to bring themselves to walk in order to survive, I'm sure they can figure out how bicycles work.
