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.


That's not right if you are on the opposite side of the world to where it
hits.

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.
