Keeps the proles amused.

If it was gonna hit us, I feel sure it would be kept secret so the
politicians could retire to their nuclear bunkers.


Nuclear bunkers wouldn't be much protection if it did hit. However, it
is expected be marginally further away than when it last passed us in
1999; 0.07au rather than 0.06au. Then it was picked up by radar
telescopes almost as it was passing by, its approach having been missed.
