2020: Corona Virus Vs Asteroid Heading For Earth by musazulyadain: 8:28pm On Mar 19, 2020 |
[/color]  Coronavirus came from METEORITE which hit China last year - bombshell scientist claim 2020 has been a roller coaster of events; the pandemic of the Corona virus having populations in 140 countries in panic. Since South Africa’s announcing of the first case on the 5th March, strict public health measures have been taken in most countries. The winter season is also creeping in, making everyone even more cautious of allergy sniffles, dry coughs, and corona virus symptoms.  Microscopic view of corona virus After President Cyril Ramaphosa addressed the health issue on 15 March 2020, it did not seem to satisfy the concerns of some of the South African people. Suburban citizens filled shops from the morning the next day in a panic to stock up on sanitisers, food, masks, gloves, and toilet paper. This being a risk of more than 100 people being in the same public space and risking people getting contaminated. Big stores such as Woolworths, Makro and Dis-chem made Christmas sales in one day in the middle of the month. These are signs that quarantine has officially been put into action in South Africa, and those who are fortunate enough to have the resources are preparing themselves for the worst.  picture meteorite about to hit earth But wait, the year 2020 has only started and it still has more in store for us. According to NASA there is an asteroid (not meteorite, which is a lot smaller) “large enough to cause global effects” flying through space and possibly heading for our beloved home planet. Scientists at NASA have assured everyone that there is nothing to worry about. The asteroid is said to be 1.7 km to 4.02 km wide and will only be passing 6290589.34 km of earth. The flyby is expected to occur on Wednesday, April 29th at around 10:30 am. The asteroid has been on NASA’s radar since 1998 as a possible threat to earth. NASA has long been preparing for the worst possible scenario regarding the flying piece of land. We hope perhaps if they had to protect us from anything that serious they have the right weaponry and shields. Laser guns from the satellites in the solar system perhaps? It does however feel good to know that the universe is looking out for us when we are helpless and have no way of moving out the way. It looks like the universe has got our back on this one, because stockpiling on toilet paper and helmets would not have helped any of us in this situation. It does make you think though. If a meteor was heading for earth, how are we to respond, and how are our world leaders prepared for such events?
