Asteroid threats

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/jan/30/asteroid-spotted-chance-colliding-with-earth-2032

As an interested, but relatively poorly informed observer, the following quote got my attention

''The only #asteroid ever to receive a higher rating is #Apophis which made headlines in 2004. Apophis was initially rated a four on the Torino scale but was later downgraded as observations showed that it posed no #threat for at least a century'

By which time on current projections we will be in the stone age, so unable to do anything.
