What are they expecting a run-of-the-mill solar eclipse to do? Has humanity been dumbed down so much that it thinks the world will end with an eclipse?
...do not answer that.
It reminds me of the Y2K hogwash that ended up a real snoozer.
It’s the exploitation of the ignorant- ignorant of the facts that total solar eclipses are not harmful unless people look at them except for a VERY SHORT TIME during totality.
The paranoia is amazing.
