Maybe it's just the three trans people I know that are trying to leave the country right now, my brother's family, and a bunch of family friends that come from a family of pilots and flight attendants.

I'm sure they are the only people having trouble in the whole country. Must be an isolated incident. ... ...

They are all located out west and in the Midwest, so maybe it's just the Chicago office and the website. I don't know if anybody has tried doing it through mail correspondence yet but that takes a little bit more time anyway.

That's completely different than, "The entire passport office is shut right now.". You were either being unnecessarily hyperbolic, or intentionally spreading misinformation. Neither helps in situations like this.
