Agreed, but 7 lunar distances is pretty fucking close. Bigger question is if there was a big one on the way would the government black it out? Could they blackout something like that from news sources, etc? I'm not into conspiracy theories that the government hides shit from us, but this is one time I think they would try to block the news.
