Pre Covid Era 

A period of time usually referring to late 2019 and the first two months of 2020 right before the Covid 19 Pandemic caused a nationwide lockdown in the United States starting Mid March of 2020.

I haven't seen my friends since the Pre Covid Era.

Precovidalgia

A nostalgic longing for a period that life was going on and living environment was full of joy and happiness before the epidemy of covid-19. Regret for the lost personal and social interactions under the influence of covid-19.

It is a portmanteau of some morphemes such as pre- (before) and covid-19 and –algia (pain).

Lately, precovidalgia has been my only concern and driving me mad.

Adieu ! handshaking, hugging and kissing, all of you are fading and only in my Precovidalgia.

pre-COVID dream effect

The effect where pre-COVID era felt like a mere dream (or a trailer for our current life), as we're now 4 years into post-COVID era (as of 2026)

Ever since the pandemic, my memories from before COVID-19 pandemic feel like a distant memory, almost like a dream; I guess I’m experiencing that pre-COVID dream effect.
