Corona Pandemic, Comet ATLAS and a Coronal Mass Ejection?

More and more people are starting to wander whether the Corona related government measures are productive overall. The draconian quarantine and lock-down rules don’t make much sense and are full of contradictions.

Comet Atlas is not going to hit anything, and we are not going through its debris trail. So, bad news for doomsday enthusiasts so far. Of course, that’s according to the official data, they could not tell us if it were otherwise, or if the trajectory of fragments were to change to go on a collision course, but so far there is no indication of such a direct problem, just like most comets of recent decades.

But the size of Atlas isn’t the point, it’s the close approach to the sun and the alignment with Earth at perihelion and at the crossing of the ecliptic (around May 31st). If the comet were to trigger a solar flair and Coronal Mass Ejection, this would be aimed pretty much in the direction of Earth. Even more so if the comet were to arrive later than expected, then we could get a bulls-eye hit from the sun’s corona.

If the Sun is a glow discharge at the center of an electric field, and a comet carries a strong negative charge together with a vast envelope of charged particles, the categorical dismissal of mutual interactions is premature.”
In fact, SOHO has recorded several instances of comets plunging into the solar corona in “coincidental” association with CMEs.
