“BC is now ‘Before Coronavirus.’ AD is now “After Distancing’”
The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic was so important, people had new names for B.C. and A.D.
“We’re gonna need a better abbreviation than PP for pre-pandemic and post-pandemic. BC (before Coronavirus) and AD (after distancing)” was posted on Twitter by Dr PayItBack on March 17, 2020. “We are in the middle of the new BC and AD.

I think that soon we will soon need a new way of measuring years due to the impact of CV-19. I suggest:
BC: Before Coronavirus
AD: After Distancing
This makes absolute sense and I foresee zero confusion.
