Covid-19 - Did novelists predict Wuhan coronavirus in 1981 and 2008?

Two novels have gone viral after people noticed the eerie similarity between the viruses mentioned in them and the very real Covid-19 virus which has spread to multiple countries today.The first book, titled The Eyes of Darkness, was by thriller writer Dean Koontz. According to a recent report by Must Share News.com, the 1981 book follows the story of a woman  named Christina whose son supposedly died while camping. After she gets a letter saying that her son is still alive, she goes in search of — and finds him. The intriguing thing is that  her son is being held in a military facility after having been infected by a virus manufactured as a biological weapon by the Chinese military based in Wuhan. In the novel, the virus is called “Wuhan-400”....

 The second book, titled End of Days: Predictions And Prophecies About The End Of The World, was written by Sylvia Browne and published in 2008 — more than 30 years after The Eyes of Darkness and 12 years before Covid-19 struck. Browne, who claimed to be a psychic, foresaw that “in around 2020, a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tube and resisting all known treatments”. She predicted that the outbreak would not last long but that it would return later on. “Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely.”

The above is posted in www.theindependent.sg.  What to make out of the two novels and their similarities with the Wuhan Epidemic? Were the authors prescient to this event, have powers of foresight to see or predict the future? The second author Sylvia Browne claimed to have psychic power. The coincidence cannot be so simple as coincidence. In life, many coincidences are preplanned, premeditated and not coincidences as some may think.

Another possibility is that some organisations could have been planning some wargames using this scenario like Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation planning and simulating a coronavirus attack that led to 65m infections and millions dead. Such exercise premises are often planned and tested many years in advanced and could be picked up or privy to the authors who would then write books about them. There are of course authors with great imaginative powers to write stories like Harry Potters and Lord of the Rings etc etc.

It looks like a virus attack in Wuhan has been played out many times by some groups of people and whether this turns into an inspiration for some to mount such an attack, a copycat act or just playing out the real thing after preparing it for years and decades before.

Those who believe in conspiracies, who believe in dirty wars and undeclared wars would not find such information new or bizarre but common knowledge.
