Great, just what we need, near miss this time, if someone did the math right, didn't fuck up the software code, it's been checked though...
NASA Warns 4-Kilometer Planet-Killer Asteroid Currently Headed For Earth

KEY POINTS
NASA detected a massive asteroid approaching Earth
The approaching asteroid is over 4 kilometers wide
The asteroid could destroy Earth following an impact event
NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) is currently tracking a massive asteroid that’s expected to approach the planet next month. According to the data collected by the agency, the approaching asteroid is big enough to destroy the planet during an impact event.

CNOES identified the incoming asteroid as 52768 (1998 OR2). As noted by the agency, this asteroid is currently moving at a speed of almost 20,000 miles per hour. It has an estimated diameter of 4.1 kilometers, which is equivalent to 13,451 feet. This makes the asteroid longer than the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

According to NASA, 52768 (1998 OR2) is an Amor asteroid. Although Amors are not Earth-crossing asteroids such as Apollos, they can still approach Earth from dangerous distances.

Due to its natural orbit and massive size, 52768 (1998 OR2) has been classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid.

“Potentially hazardous asteroids are currently defined based on parameters that measure the asteroid’s potential to make threatening close approaches to the Earth,” NASA stated.

“Specifically, all asteroids with a minimum orbit intersection distance of 0.05 [astronomical units] or less and an absolute magnitude of 22.0 or less are considered [potentially hazardous asteroids],” the agency added.

Given the asteroid’s massive size, 52768 (1998 OR2) is one of the biggest and possibly most dangerous space rocks listed on CNEOS’ database. Spanning several kilometers wide, this asteroid could cause a major impact event on Earth if it hits the planet.

The blast wave and energy from its impact would incinerate a large part of the planet. Then, the explosion would produce enough smoke, dust and debris to cover the atmosphere and prevent sunlight from penetrating.

Without sunlight, Earth would eventually experience a nuclear winter that could last for several years. This destructive phenomenon was the same event that led to the extinction of dinosaurs and over 70 percent of all life on Earth following an asteroid impact 66 million years ago.

According to CNEOS, 52768 (1998 OR2) will visit Earth’s vicinity on April 29 at 4:56 am EST. During its approach, it will be about 0.04205 astronomical units or roughly 4 million miles from the planet’s center.

Phew! ORGY TIME AT MY HOUSE!!!! Those pesky viri can infect my sorry old ass. Quite literally. But I prefer woman, so we will have to negotiate that depending on your plus one.

If an asteroid is gonna kill us, it's party time. I have a pound or two I can lay out.

Who would have thought I'd have toilet paper shame at my age.
For the love of all things good. Just put a MAGA hat on, with a sign on your back that reads "I need to flush 15 times". That'll completely have people overlook the TP shaming.

If I wore a MAGA hat in Canada right now I'd probably get the shit kicked out of myself! People are concerned about the American response and if it is leaking across the border, soon the place is gonna be a like a giant cruise ship, SS United States, with captain Donald at the helm, full speed ahead.

Coronavirus cases could reach 64,000 in Washington state by May, governor says
CNBC
TUE, MAR 10 20203:30 PM EDT UPDATED MOMENTS AGO

Key Points:

Washington state COVID-19 cases could reach 64,000 by May if health officials and the public fail to take action to stop the spread now, Gov. Jay Inslee said Tuesday.

The Evergreen State has 162 confirmed coronavirus cases across eight counties as of Monday night, but infectious disease experts say the actual number could be closer to 1,000 or more, he said.

Washington state COVID-19 cases could reach 64,000 by May if health officials and the public aren’t able to contain the outbreak now, Gov. Jay Inslee said Tuesday.

The Evergreen State has at least 162 confirmed coronavirus cases across eight counties as of Monday night, but infectious disease experts say the actual number could be closer to 1,000 or more, Inslee said at a press conference.

He said public health officials have not tested all 7.5 million residents in the state, and experts believe there are “many, many other people today in Washington state” who have the virus but don’t have symptoms and haven’t been diagnosed yet.

“If we assume there are 1,000 or more people who have the virus today, what the experts are telling us, in an epidemic like this, looking at the characteristics of this virus, people who are infected will double anywhere from five to eight days,” he said. “If you do that math, it gets very disturbing.”

“When something doubles every day, it gets to a very large number very quickly. If there are 1,000 people infected today, in seven or eight weeks, there could be 64,000 people infected in the state of Washington,” he said.

Inslee declared a state of emergency last month after the state reported its first death from the virus — a man in his 50s from King County with underlying health conditions.
