So, what is up? We have had solar eclipses for centuries and I thought the fears that the world would end as a result was something of the 18th century.

Why am I suddenly hearing of planned school closings for that date and counties declaring a state of emergency for April 8th. In the past, schools used the eclipse as a learning module but apparently no more. I'll adjust my tin-foil hat and I start fearing "they" have plans for that date.

Sounds like you didn’t read your article!

School closings make sense in areas where a high turnout of visitors is expected given the impact on bussing delays.

There’s several total solar eclipses around the World every year

If they disrupted electronics, it would’ve been big news already

This is more needless fear-mongering by a control-obsessed Media, just like Covid was

Ignore, and enjoy your regular lives!

A solar eclipse is not something new, so is someone up to no good with this?

"I've got a great idea! Let's schedule an eclipse on November 5!"

“the large influx of visitors to the local area”

This is the problem.

I’ve heard the sun has scheduled a MASSIVE CME aimed at earth just when the moon gets in the way.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve heard today. Don’t these idiots understand what a solar eclipse is?

Beats me. I have been through several eclipses. Glanced at them, thought “huh that’s kinda cool,” then went back to school/work (depending on the year). Didn’t notice any significant disruptions.

Just more mass hysteria being fueled by the LSM and libidiot politicians.

Sorry, I'm wrong again

The eclipse passes over New York State, but over Buffalo, not NYC

Still, lots of other areas to see it!

Be prepared to offer sacrifices to the sun gods. That works every time...the sun always comes back.

Why are we fascinated with eclipses? Yes, it’s cool to see but I certainly won’t go out of my way to see it. Besides, I thought they were more concerned with illegals?!

some regions experienced a 100 percent increase in their population in the days leading up to and during the eclipse.

Way down in the article, a semi-rational explanation.
