Code and installation instructions are available on Github. In Covid times, each day is one year, so running it on July 7 results in the following output. Usage example: $ covid-date Covid Year 111 If your Covid era began on a different era, you can add a configuration file to your home directory (instructions available in the GitHub repo).
