Grounded. For now

The fallout from the coronavirus got much worse over the weekend.

Seattle, Los Angles, New York and other cities ordered restaurants and bars closed and put a ban on how many people could gather in public spaces.

United Airlines, American Airlines and many other airlines grounded flights and announced major cuts in the days and weeks to come. And rumors are swirling about a government-ordered grounding of all passenger flights.

With so few passengers flying, airport shops are reducing hours or closing temporarily.

All airport USO lounges are closing too.

What’s next? Of course, no one knows.

Just try to stay safe. Stay away from other people who may have the virus or may get it from you.

And wash your hands.
