[Last Man on Earth] Why was Mike on the ISS completely alone (not including the worms)?

It's been a few years since I watched the show, and wanted to rewatch, but this question always bugged me. Why was Mike the only person on the ISS? Wouldn't NASA either: A. Keep all of the scientists on the ISS as a precaution, or B. Bring them back as an emergency abort mission? And if the answer is A, did each individual astronaught leave via a descent module over time due to worry and craziness, and one by one die from the virus? And in that case, how the hell many descent modules would the ISS have to contain?

IIRC they tell that story, the other astronauts used the other return vehicles to return home, desperate to see if their families were ok, even if it cost them their lives. Leaving Mile alone on the station with the last return vehicle and the worms.
