This is a very stressful time for all of us in the country, and particularly for our FlyerTalk Community. Many of us are stranded, and all of us are scared of how easily it could have been us.

Thanks so much to those who are contributing and in particular to those who are letting our friends vent these emotions. This should be a safe place for us to come together and share what we're feeling.

For those few threads that are seeing some back and forth, I ask that you try to understand how the other people are dealing with this and be understanding.

Some of us need to talk about trivial things, and some of us need to just be angry. Please let them and give them the support to get through this.

Thanks
