I think there are some on FR who have exchanged email or other contact info. Some FReepers know each other in real life.
I think we *MAY* need to be resourceful and use whatever comms are available to us. If we are cut off from all but face to face contacts, that will be rough for many, but hopefully we have learned enough over the past 4 years to be prepared (stocked up on essentials) and smart enough to know what to do. For me, that means I would distrust EVERYTHING the media tell me. JMO.
I haven’t trusted the media (aka propaganda) since the late 1980’s. I also have common sense — a rare commodity these days.
