This is how they get the people prepared
Prepare for Impact – will the earth be hit by an asteroid?Ok to listen to up to 6:24 NO FURTHER
BTW I’ve heard chatter about this for a while but didn’t check up on it due to the COVID stuff.
He did say that an Asteroid DID HIT THE EARTH and that was what caused the massive dust storm that covered a great deal of the earth. Other bloggers have posted on that.

ASTEROID DAY 2020: RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THREAT POSED BY NEAR-EARTH ASTEROIDS, SINCE 2016
The day is aimed at creating awareness around near-earth objects (NEOs), which could pose a 'potentially catastrophic' threat to our planet someday.
In December 2016, the United Nations General Assembly declared June 30 as the International Asteroid Day, to be observed annually. JUN 30, 2020

According to the UN, the International Asteroid Day focuses on raising public awareness about the “asteroid impact hazard” and to inform the public about the “crisis communication actions to be taken at the global level in case of a credible near-Earth object threat”.
112 years ago today, an asteroid impact rocked Siberia
The UN General Assembly chose June 30 to mark the anniversary of the Tunguska Event in Russia.
On 30 June 1908, an asteroid fell on the Podkamennaya Tunguska river area in Siberia, Russia. The impact left behind “little evidence of its origin except flattening 5,00,000 acres of uninhabited forest, scorching the land, creating glowing clouds and producing shock waves that were detected around the world”.
This event is considered to be the most impactful asteroid impact event in recorded history.
In order to highlight the threat that the NEOs pose, awareness about the rocky bodies is needed. According to the National Geographic, asteroids are basically “chunks of rock that measure in size from a few feet to several miles in diameter”. [read more firstpost.com

How big is the asteroid that's coming in 2020?
Radar images show that 2020 BX12 is at least 165 m (541 ft) in diameter, implying a geometric albedo or reflectivity of 0.30 given its absolute magnitude of 20.6. 2020 BX12 appears to have a nearly spheroidal shape, which is commonly observed in other near-Earth objects such as 2005 YU55 and 101955 Bennu.
Comet Rising: NeoWise seen from the ISS
This video starts over Saudia Arabia - we follow the journey of the space station across Iraq, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan ending in Kazakhstan where just before sunrise we see Comet Neowise rising over the horizon
Neowise is 103 Million KM from Earth
