Great input, thank you, Steven. Especially re conflict. People’s nerves are fried with all this adaptation to change, and so easy to get on each other’s nerves, especially when opportunities for rejuvenating space have practically vanished. On the other hand, nothing we can’t handle with, as you say, early enough attention so whatever it is doesn’t take on a life of its own. Thanks again!

I also know that uncertainty breeds not only fear, rage , and anxiety, but also sometimes conflict. But I do recall your good advice, too, that uncertainty and conflict are natural, not abnormal, and conflict accompanying uncertainty is important and can be “positive” as spotlighting an opportunity for change, as you suggest. It works best if that can be done respectfully and peacefully even if forcefully and candidly (rather than “stridently” or “insensitively”), recognized earlier rather than later, and with attention to process and content to make better and better informed decisions and plans.
