Not just Americans. I think most of the world.

So far, we've not been affected anywhere I am. Suspect it is different for
those in centre of Edinburgh (Financial district and seat of Government) and
London, and the military installations and airports, but thankfully no
effect where I am.
Spent far too long yesterday evening watching the news coverage (BBC and ITN
in UK, CNN and Bloomberg from US) struggling to believe it was actually
happening.
I am heartened by the news that many of our klarinet community are safe.
