Things seem calmer yet it feels problems don't just dissolve with calm in my experience.

Hidden in the calm is some kind of tension that might actually be the source of the action as well as the negative reactions.    It would be naive judge.   Yet I speculate that there is a lot going right now that people are way too shut mouthed about.   Sometimes I suppose people need to eventually find the time to talk about their issues and even point the finger at themselves sometimes as being a problem or an enemy to themselves.
