“Humanity can all agree, that 2020 is out of control and we’re living in pretty crazy times,” part of a statment shared with Fox News read. “Remember the times in 2019 when all we had to worry about was getting our hands on a sold-out Popeyes Chicken Sandwich?”

The restaurant is also offering free delivery on the Chicken Sandwich on the 19th at participating locations. (Popeyes)
However, according to Popeye's the gimmick will run “throughout the month of August," which mean the 4 1/2 month early countdown may only last for about 13 days.
