Hmmm, love those 'can't rule out' theories.
Can't rule out getting flattened by @Podmonkey in his rig.
Can't rule out all dems/progs/libs spontaneously combusting.
Can't rule out Kim Jong Un EMP'ing the entire free world.
Can't rule out a plague wiping out all sheep/lamb so when God strikes down all first born males again there'll be no lambs blood to smear over my threshold.
Oh yeah, can't rule out that I'm going to worry about this cockamaimie asteroid sometime after 2029.

It's not a a TEOTWAWKI size asteroid, but depending on where it lands it could certainly do some damage, even enough to change the whole geopolitical landscape, but not a civilization ender by any stretch.
Also, it appears that we're safe in 2029, but that will be so close that the next pass in 2036 will be unpredictable.
Could be that the 2029 pass kicks it right out of the way and it'll never get close again, or could be that it lines it up for a hit in 2036.
Basically it's going to "slingshot" around the earth in 2029, and we're not sure exactly what orbit it'll end up in after that.

No way to hide it. Like you said, even the most amateur of astronomers will either see it or hear about it through the grapevine. At which point the word will be out.

They will know where it will hit at least weeks before the impact.
I'm not sure what would happen if they needed to evacuate Europe or something, but you can bet people would be running for the hills.
Assuming we don't do something to stop it.
After the 2029 flyby they should have a pretty good idea if it'll hit in 2036, and it's not *that* big, should be divertable.

While that is completely true, the government will still hide it. Won't hear a peep on MSM either. It will be little captions "asteroid to fly close to earth". The buzz will be from social media, were the truth will be out about when znd where it will strike.
Just one? If that thing hits near me I am going to be so drunk I won't feel a thing.
If it took out the middle east that wouldn't be so bad. That section of the world has been causing too much trouble for the past 60 years,
Only the good die young, so you'd better start fucking up!that's easy for u old people to say

The article itself says they CAN rule it out hitting on its next pass.
As for asteroids the gov can't hide things like this, tons of amateurs out there. Also, if an asteroid of significant size was going to hit we would have many years warning and I do believe we could knock it off course with nukes. The further out it is tapped, the less force needed to do it. AFAIK there are no asteroids of meaningful size set to hit the globe for a very, very long time, and our technology keeps getting better anyway to knock them off.

I am sure some folks will be blaming it on the Russians ...
Can't rule out an undetected asteroid is minutes away from plowing through our atmosphere right now as your reading this....
I guess just go on living your life. Something like that if it's your time, its your time. Can't really hide from an asteroid....

For the first time in human history, something large enough to cause catastrophic (as opposed to local) damage that soon, is very unlikely to be undetected.
