Why's no one talking about this?
Not enough meme potential

Well it's a politically motivated media blackout.

>500,000 miles from Earth
We've had closer objects before.

Assuming the worst, what would you do?

Head for an area surrounded by steep hills or mountains. I guess that'd shield a ground level impact?

>500, 000 miles, the closest in recorded history.
Meanwhile one week ago.
>On March 15, 2016, astronomers detected a space rock – now designated as asteroid 2016 EF195 – using the PanSTARRS 1 telescope at Hawaii. Surprisingly, as they analyzed its trajectory, they realized it had been closest to Earth on March 11 at 03:52 UT (March 10 at 10:52 pm ET). This means the asteroid’s closest approach occurred 4 to 5 days before it was seen. Moreover, they realized that asteroid 2016 EF195 flyby had passed at about 23,900 miles (38,463 km) from the surface of our planet, or about 0.1 the Earth-moon distance.

That was an asteroid, this is a comet. Still nothing will happen though.

Anything that is outside the orbit of the moon isn't worth mentioning.
Also actual meteor strikes are almost interesting, like the poo in loo who got killed by a meteor.
