  1. Use datetime.date.fromisoformat to turn YYYY-MM-DD into a datetime.date.
  2. Use datetime.timedelta(days=10) to add 10 days to that date.
  3. Compare it to datetime.date.today().
>>> import datetime
>>> yyyymmdd = "2022-09-04"
>>> print(
...   datetime.date.fromisoformat(yyyymmdd) + datetime.timedelta(days=10)
...   == datetime.date.today()
... )
True
