Hmmm, sounds like a lot of change and stress on the system. Methinks you have every right to be a wee bit grinchy ;) Hope it settles down soon enough and that we all feel safer to travel again more soon.
BTW, what do you mean by "contemporaries"? I haven't ever seen that word used in that context. (The brilliance of speaking English with people across different countries; we all use it slightly differently! So fun!)
