livNormal life up to February or March 2020 was clearly the Before Times. (I like that better than calling it BC for 'before corona', because the latter seems slightly offensive to Christians, and Before Times is ironic but immediately transparent.)
ironed_orchid pointed out that the period we're in now is clearly the Time of Isolation.
So what are we going to call the post-Covid future? Maybe we'll never really be post-Covid, any more than we are post-flu or post-TB, but I am daring to hope for a time when it's not the dominant feature of everybody's lives. Anyone heard a term as memorable and fitting as Before Times and Time of Isolation?
