One idea John Carpenter hinted at is that the reason why Windows hasn't been able to reach "anybody for two weeks" is because the rest of the world has already been taken over by The Thing. This would have only been possible if someone from the Norwegian camp had been infected, and had returned to the mainland many weeks prior to the events of this movie. A very unlikely scenario, given that the Thing didn't wait for weeks to infect the Americans following its first contact with them. The later prequel La cosa (2011) also shows scenes set in the USA several days prior to this movie, and nothing indicates a large-scale infection.
