Now create a calendar for never ending 2020.

  Already does that-- `sdate --covid 19` will keep it perpetually March 2020. It also accepts arbitrary starting points with `--epoch`. Not sure how you'd do a perpetual 2020 while allowing the month to advance-- pretty simple if you keep the month as a number, I suppose, but problematic for the named months used in the examples (what should the 44th month of a year be named?).

    Is it `--covid19` or `--covid 19`? The fact that the year of COVID is parametrized in the second makes me nervous.

      It is indeed the latter, but it only knows about 19 so far: https://github.com/df7cb/sdate/blob/ace93c8d301c333a96ff354e8b25559d1089a0e0/scripts/sdate.in#L49-L61 https://github.com/df7cb/sdate/blob/ace93c8d301c333a96ff354e...

      I mean, you could argue that --covid 02 would represent SARS1 if we accept covid19 as SARS2

    > what should the 44th month of a year be named? Second half of the year's months are Latin and off-by-two, so… Quadragintaduober?
