I wasn't 'sane' prior to this so can't really offer much except to say that I've worked hard on increasing empathy and understanding. In weird times, people are naturally more aggressive and prone to lashing out (anger transference). Taking a few seconds to breath deep and feel compassion has helped me to de-escalate more than a few heated debates. Also, I've started to make a conscious effort to make eye contact, smile and nod a greeting to people when out in public which usually results in a relieved smile in return and a noticeable relaxation of their body posture.
