Rumor: Those in the know mention that there's been a breakthrough at DCA: those frozen are beginning to wake up. Within a few hours, people started regaining memories of those they had lost, and the island's administration went into overdrive attempting to connect people as needed, and accommodate the extra people.
Who's Hearing It?: Almost everyone!

The island's administration shortly after announced a hastily put together press conference to be held in Oceania Park on the 11th at 2PM.
