Ok so I have some good news and some bad news that are actually the
same piece of news. The good news is that we will be treated with a
celestial light show right about May when comet ATLAS shines brightly
enough it might be visible in the daytime. This should be a real treat
for space-cadets and astro-geeks.

The bad news is that we will be treated with a celestial light show
right about May when comet ATLAS shines brightly enough it might be
visible in the daytime. This is going to overlap somewhat with the
peak of the epidemic infection rate, so it might cause evangelicals,
chiliasts, and other superstitious folk to panic and do irrational
things.
Y2K, eat your heart out. This is shaping up to be the best apocalypse
ever! ;-)
