Nobody is being ordered to leave (not yet at least) the island but departure choices are slim to none if incoming flights are not permitted. Not everyone would have additional lodging nor funds to extend a stay another 2 weeks. You may see price gouging for lodging in this case as well.

Delta has NOT cancelled my Friday outbound flight at this point but I may rebook for Wed. to try and be a little ahead of the game if in fact what is indicated in the press release is accurate and is adhered to. AA has sent out emails and cancelled some flights so those passengers can rebook without any fee.

I also explored other options of getting out and one included 4 stops (Curaçao & Aruba being two of them) and I figured adding more layers to a flight under the current situation was not prudent either.

I am trying to remain calm but also make good decisions but most of them are out of my control at this point.
