The fact that they're announcing that the real mourning period continues until the 22nd just solidifies the already obvious... they're making specific (on the surface completely random,) decisions about this process in order to feature certain numbers and simple imagery which will then be slobbered over and broadcast internationally by the press.
Colors, numbers, movement, animals, body parts, etc. are all universal and can be translated into any major language (I know some minor languages don't have names for some colors.)
