You people are barbarians.

One nuke a hundred miles up, causing no destruction or immediate death, will shut them down, electro-magnetically-pulse speaking.

So you want them to return to the age they currently live in? They're eating bats, tiger dick soup, shark fins, etc. I don't think a lack of technology is going to hinder their bad decision making.

EMPing China would cause chaos through Asia, as the starving, dying population crosses every border by the hundreds of millions, searching for food and insulin.

Still a good outcome. :-D

What if this virus is just Mother Nature expressing her frustration about the number of people?

At some point the Earth has to be stretched beyond its limit of humans it can support. Perhaps we're already there?

Maybe that's why she drops tidal waves on overly-populated areas?

We're past that point without tech. If we all have to go amish again, cities larger than Toledo are unsustainable, probably, especially in the short term. We'll have the 80% die-off, then people will figure out how to farm and barter, again.

I don't know. What was the largest city in 1880? Probably what we're talking about.

Well, New York was already over 1 million people by then... Philly was close behind.

Heck, Alexandria + Rome were 1 M people 2,000 years ago.

In 1900, London was 6.5M people...

At first, cities will be depleted, until we figure out horses and wagons, again (not the tech... how to produce them, and learn to use them again). Cities recover in maybe 30 years, I'd guestimate, if all electronics on the planet died, today. Whatever population was left would be very resourceful.

Much better than the rest of the trilogy, so feel free to stop there, FYI.

Also I didn't know it was a trilogy, now.

Yes, I know you're the one who recommended that book. I read the thing based on that thread. I was being flippant about your comment:

I was assuming you meant immediately after the event, but going back I think you meant after the 30 years?

Yes... if you survive the first year, you were either super paranoid and well-prepared, or very resourceful.

My local state beach is like that on Summer weekends, when the Toledo inner city peeps drive out.

Keep the poors off the beach, you'll have clean beaches. Until then, have prisoners picking up trash or something (a different set of poors, usually).

Bloomberg warns that the sky is falling.

Has nobody in the MSM ever heard the story of the little boy that cried wolf?

The MSM does this story every fucking year.

Black paint fixes "wind turbines killing birds" problem.

No word on when they'll fix the technology's inefficiency.

Natural gas is already costing over $20/MW-hr, without even considering the cost of new plants to covert the gas into electricity.

Wind power has ramped up dramatically thanks to how cheap it is. (I work in the power industry)
