That actually means Dec. 7
(Politely ignored fact: everybody in the UK is mildly dyslexic )
We use that old-fashioned system of day, month, year, unlike you advanced types with month, day, year, but not so advanced as those who use year, month, day, which is easier when programming and such.

Ah yes the old date thing. Happened with the 9th November tragedy too.

What is a bit sad is that it looked like before Thanksgiving that we might have peaked. Unfortunately the massive travel and family get togethers ended that. Death rates are now as bad as they were early on during the peak of the first wave of Covid and we are nowhere near the new peak from Thanksgiving. And Christmas is on the way, great, just great.
Then there's the 5th of Tevet 5781.We use that old-fashioned system of day, month, year, unlike you advanced types with month, day, year, but not so advanced as those who use year, month, day, which is easier when programming and such.

As winter approaches, the United States is grappling with a jaw-dropping surge in the number of novel coronavirus infections. More than 288,000 Americans have been killed by a virus that public health officials now say can be spread through airborne transmission.
The virus spreads most commonly through close contact, scientists say. But under certain conditions, people farther than six feet apart can become infected by exposure to tiny droplets and particles exhaled by an infected person, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in October. Those droplets and particles can linger in the air for minutes to hours.
To visually illustrate the risk of airborne transmission in real time, The Washington Post used a military-grade infrared camera capable of detecting exhaled breath. Numerous experts — epidemiologists, virologists and engineers — supported the notion of using exhalation as a conservative proxy to show potential transmission risk in various settings.
“The images are very, very telling,” said Rajat Mittal, a professor of mechanical engineering in Johns Hopkins University’s medical and engineering schools and an expert on virus transmission. “Getting two people and actually visualizing what’s happening between them, that’s very invaluable.”
