As the current 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic continues, today is a purely coincidental — and hopefully, not cruelly ironic — day, as it is Saturday, April 3, 2021…
Happy Countdown Day
…and if you are wondering why today is Countdown Day and you are located in a place where the month first before the day numerically, today is also 4-3-21 — resembling a countdown.
This actually happened before, but in a different way: Thursday, March 4, 2021 was Countdown Day in locations at which the day is placed first before the month numerically — 4-3-21.
Both of these coincidences only occur once in our lifetime — but two annual countdown days do exist if you leave out the year in a location at which the month is placed first before the day numerically and the year is excluded: March 21 or 3-21; or February 10, which appears as 2-10 numerically.
Summary
Regardless of which day is considered to be Countdown Day, let us hope that the current 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic will officially be declared over as soon as possible — that we can eventually start to count down towards that day — so that we can all travel again…
…and that today is a great, fun, and healthy day for you — as every day should hopefully be for you.
Happy Countdown Day!
