There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation (fedia.io)

People who haven't really resumed socializing at levels they used to, people who lost the capacity to regulate during interpersonal interactions, people who lost trust in others... I encounter lots of partial returners out there

judging by your username, you share certain similarities with Bruce Willis.

and he seems to forget who he is these days, so yeah you might actually be Bruce Willis.

no, I've never heard covid victims called "those left behind", that is a rather morbid bit of prose from your part of the world.
