Based on its current orbit the rocket is passing over Earth as far north as New York, Madrid and Beijing and as far south as southern Chile and Wellington...I'm not sure of the technical term, but that seems an extremely erratic orbit.

Without even doing any arithmetic, every thinking person should have an instinctive feel for the size of this thing compared to the size of the earth AND taking into account the size of the oceans and other uninhabited areas. Anybody who worries about this is a short-bus-riding idiot with the intellectual capacity of a dead slug.

It’s tumbling and traveling 28,000 kph, and speeding up at an irregular rate as it falls.
There is no way to predict where it’s going to land at this point. Sometime this weekend that should change.

You sound like the hockey goalie who couldn’t making a save ... everything kept getting by him, and finally he was released by the team. In a depressed state he stepped out onto a highway, directly in front of an oncoming truck ... at which point the truck went right between his legs.

This is prime time for Trade Winds blowing towards the west over the pacific. Lots of sailboat traffic headed to the islands in and around Polynesia.

China probably stored all the wuhan bio weapon virus in the rocket banking on it completely burning up on re-entry./s

No further North than New York.

If it falls on a major city in China the CCP won’t care. They won't care even if it falls on any other major city in the world.

Lol. It gets worse. I remember when people were afraid that the Schumaker-Levy comet would cause catastrophes on Earth because it was going to hit Jupiter. No shyt. Some people actually believed that.
Suckers will buy anything.
