Probably not.

No. The three previous supereruptions occurred 2.1 million, 1.3 million, and approximately 630,000 years ago. Therefore, we're safe for another half a million years.

There is simply no way to know.

Very unlikely, No one can say no or yes with any certainty, of course, but the circumstances do not indicate an imminent eruption. Nothing makes anyone think "it will happen within the next 8 months", no.

Unlikely. The caldera is showing no signs of eruption, such as earthquake swarms, increased degassing, raising of the terrain... so I d say we re safe.

Nobody knows. Predicting earthquakes and volcanic eruptions within a year is beyond our current ability and knowledge.

Extremely unlikely. No one can predict when earthquakes can happen or when volcanoes will erupt. DO NOT believe all of the hype over the impending "super eruption."

It's looking possible. Remember that it IS a formerly active volcano. They never die completely. But this year? Probably not.
