Service offers from online platforms in Spain, Germany, Italy, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and the UK since the COVID-19-related lockdowns in March 2020 are analyzed and related to classical pragmatic nomenclatures. As a result, COVID-19-related lexemes are used particularly in Spain, hardly in the Netherlands, and to a medium degree in Germany, France, Italy and the UK. Often, such phrases are expressive/phatic, occasionally with an appeal to pity, just to promote positive connotations, not adding anything on the nature of the service. COVID-related lexemes are used, albeit rarely, to say that there is something positive in the crisis situation. More frequently, these lexemes are employed, in Spain, Germany and Italy, to explain the motivation for the service offer. In all countries, the lexemes are (semantically superfluously?) used to say that the service offered is free from danger (sometimes being pseudo-assertive). In Spain, covid-lexemes are very typically used to show that the service supplier is free from danger (even in headlines and first sentences), in various kinds of wordings, which mostly do not support the pretended message from a strict medical point of view: beyond classical terminology, such cases could be termed jargon-related conventional pseudo-implications
