Trying to cancel my flight on @Expedia that is leaving on Saturday and I can’t even talk to anyone and the website is down? How is one supposed to get a refund in this case?

@Expedia I have a flight in ~10 hours but need to cancel due to Covid-19. The hotline and website are down. Please help

I need to cancel a flight due to COVID19 concerns and your website is down, your phone service keeps randomly hanging up, and your online chat is broken. Your company is SO unprepared during a crisis and it is shameful. Been trying all day.
