    Do you mean that people have had more difficulty keeping track of time and timelines since the pandemic? I’ve certainly had lots of conversations where someone said, “That was 2 years ago already? What is time anymore?” They’re not talking about getting older, but that the pandemic created this blank space where we didn’t have our usual traditions or seasonal events. If there isn’t a term for this specific phenomenon, we could make one. Pandemic time elasticity?
