People in shock don't think about the wider issues.
"I never understand people's expectations of other people's expectations..." Well, I guess I feel I understand that too.
"Be prepared, be patient..." Good advice, so is "don't have a global outage" but do people follow it? Nooooo

People on HN should understand better than anyone that this isn't really possible over a long enough period of time. It's not like Southwest has to ground its fleet every other month. This specifically is a very very rare event.

The only thing I can think of is not making appointments on the other side where your life is screwed if your plane is diverted. But how much you can do that or need to do that varies by person.
