Most perish. Civilization is greatly disrupted. The weak and old are still dying with support systems down. Most everyone you knew is gone except__________
No more social media. Cell phones are mostly offline due to cell towers lack of electricity. You heard that D.C.still has working cell towers. Internet servers are down. People have banded together in groups. Return to earth living is a must. You have seen lately ship building, bullet making, canning in preparation for winter, and a man welding custom car parts. The cities still have well stocked grocery stores but without a support crew walking around in them can be dangerous due to plague, ferral animals and looters and gangs.

Whether it is caused by man or nature a complete breakdown in society is quite possible. If there is no help from the outside it will be very grim. We can not live in a large part of this country without a lot of energy and support. There is not enough food and water. The winter weather is too harsh and our homes are no longer designed for it. Who has a wood burning cookstove or wood burning fireplace anymore? Who has a well with a hand pump? Anyone have a horse and buggy? Where will you get kerosene for your lamps? Got your sythe sharpened? There's only enough fish and wildlife game to support at most a couple people per square mile so you'd better learn a few things. What are you going to do if you need a doctor or dentist? Better not require a c-section. Good luck if you're a vegetarian.
