My understanding of the situation--which may be wrong; Rachel has read this more recently than I have--is that the invasion focused on the major population centers, and most people just didn't escape. The survivors were mostly people in remote areas that the invaders didn't bother with. People who faced the invaders directly and escaped were usually ones who ran fast or had minimal direct contact with invaders, at first because of luck and later because it was simply too dangerous.
