covid-date

Print the covid date since you entered lockdown. Each day is one year!

For those of us working at Yale, the start date was usually March 18. See the "Use a different date" section below to set a custom covid epoch start date.

Install

$ pip install git+https://github.com/jakekara/covid-date

Or use pipx. It's a good way to install standalone CLI tools.

Usage

$ covid-date
Covid Year 105

Use a different date

To use a different date, create a yaml file called "covid-date.yaml" in your home directory. (There's an example file in this repo that changes the start date to March 15, 2020).

The yaml file should have a single value, "start" in YYYY-MM-DD format. Like so:

start: 2020-03-15
