Ooops, I was meaning to say above: NASA was forthcoming with data on the asteroid that recently missed the earth by half the distance of this comet's closest approach.

To be more precise, that asteroid was about 300' in diameter and missed earth by 3M miles on the 17th Feb., IIRC. This comet will pass about 5M miles and is a whole lot larger I believe.

Based on the "Figure 4" chart on page 6 of the .pdf from Quanzhi Ye⋆ and Paul A. Wiegert, and a great amount of reading of "how to interpret the data", (I could be WRONG) You really should view the "Figure 4" chart on page 6 of the .pdf ~ for yourself.
