Predictions:
Two
Different Books
(Published

Predicted
Coronavirus
Outbreak
In 2020
(M.

This
is entirely another aspect of the Coronavirus story. Two different
books, published in 1981 and 2008 respectively, had predicted the
outbreak of Coronavirus in 2020. Lots of discussions and viral posts
on the social media have made those forgotten books “best sellers”.
The funny side is that the first book (published in 1981) was a
science fiction titled “The Eyes of Darkness”, authored by Dean
Koontz. That book talks about a Chinese virus “Wuhan-400”.
The
second book was written by a fortune-teller, or a psychic, named
Sylvia Browne and is called “End of The Days: Predictions And
Prophecies About The End of The World.” It was published in 2008.
Sylvia Browne is known for her yearly predictions in the American
media.
Conspiracy
theorists believe that the Deep State has always released information
about future world events to the Hollywood film-makers or to the
fiction/story writers. Many such films have been released in the
past; and many such books have been written in the past too. People
on the other side call it a coincidence.
The book reads: “In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it has arrived, attack again 10 years later, and then disappear completely.”
While
France and Spain are reporting a significant increase in the number
of Coronavirus cases, the home of the virus – China – is
successfully experimenting a wonder drug to cure Coronavirus.
The
Coronavirus
disease (COVID-19) has so far killed at least 4,026 people and
infected more than 133,000 globally. As authorities scramble to
contain new outbreaks in Italy, South Korea and Iran, rumors about
the virus’ origin are rife.
Coronavirus:
Chilling 40-year old book predicted “Wuhan biological weapon”
outbreak.
By
Callum Hoare (Daily Express, UK, published: Feb. 28, 2020)
More
than 81,000 Coronavirus
cases
have now been reported as the death toll passes 2,700, with a
spike in cases confirmed in South Korea, Italy, Japan and Iran this
week, as well as a hotel in Tenerife being put on lock-down. The
virus has its origins in China,
where scientists have confirmed transmission
is possible without symptoms.
US
Senator Tom Cotton raised eyebrows earlier this month when he claimed
the virus was either an experiment gone wrong, or a purposely
released biological weapon. But, a book from 1981 chillingly predicts
a similar rhetoric.
Written
by Dean Koontz, “The Eyes of Darkness” is a story about a mother
who discovers her son Danny is being kept in a military facility
after being infected with a man-made microorganism called
“Wuhan-400”.
Chapter 39 reads: “To understand it, you have to go back 20 months.
“It was around then that a Chinese scientist named Li Chen defected to the US, carrying a diskette record of China’s most important and dangerous new biological weapon in a decade.
“They call the stuff ‘Wuhan-400’ because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside the city of Wuhan and it was the 400th viable strain of man-made microorganisms created at that research center."
Some
have suggested this research center could be referring to the Wuhan
Institute of Virology, which is where China’s only level four
bio-safety laboratory is located.
It
has the highest-level classification of labs studying the
deadliest viruses and is situated 20 miles from where the current
COVID-19 first broke out.
Further excerpts of the book state that the virus as the “perfect weapon” as it cannot survive outside a host for more than a minute.
It adds: “Wuhan-400 is the perfect weapon. It afflicts human beings, no other living creature can carry it. Just like syphilis, Wuhan-400 can’t survive outside a living body for longer than a minute, which means it can’t permanently contaminate objects or entire places the way anthrax and other virulent microorganisms can. When the host expires, the Wuhan-400 within him perishes a short while later, as soon as the temperature of the corpse drops below 30C.”
“They knew that the Chinese could use Wuhan-400 to wipe out a city or a country, and then there wouldn’t be any need to them to conduct tricky and expensive decontamination before they moved in and took over.”
Congress leader Manish Tewari tweeted screenshots of the book on Twitter, clocking up more than 200 retweets and 700 likes since.
He wrote: “Is Coranavirus a biological Weapon developed by the Chinese called Wuhan-400?
“This
book was published in 1981. Do read the excerpt.”
However, there are some key differences in the prediction and the recent strain of coronavirus.
The Wuhan-400 was apparently developed as a bioweapon with a 100 percent fatality rate, but COVID-19 has a fatality rate of 0.2 percent.
While the Wuhan-400 only has an extremely short four-hour incubation period, the COVID-19 requires an incubation period between 2 to 14 days.
Finally, the Wuhan-400 was said to only affect human beings, but the first cases of coronavirus are believed to have been from animal to human interactions. (Although there is NO scientific proof to support that 'belief'.)
But
there is another author who many claim predicted the outbreak of a
deadly contagion in the years 2020.
In her 2008 book “End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World”, supposed psychic Sylvia Browne wrote of a pneumonia outbreak ravaging the world.
The book reads: “In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.
“Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it has arrived, attack again 10 years later, and then disappear completely.”
The
brief passage has sparked the imaginations of many social media users
who believe it matches the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

Coronavirus
cure: 'Substantial benefits' recorded after breakthrough drug used in
ChinaCoronavirus could be on the verge of being cured after scientists recorded "substantial clinical benefits" using a combination of groundbreaking drugs to treat patients in China.
The
Jin Yintan Hospital in Wuhan, where the first 41 known patients were
treated, has launched a randomised, controlled trial of the drug
combination of Lopinavir and Ritonavir.
The
combination targets protease, an enzyme used by both HIV and
coronaviruses to cut up proteins when they make new copies of
themselves. According to the 2004 study, the combination showed “substantial clinical benefit” when given to patients who had SARS, which is 70 percent of the same genome sequencing of the 2020 strain.
Coronavirus breakthrough: China mass producing wonderdrug after 'promising' results
CORONAVIRUS is being tackled head-on by Chinese drugmakers who have started mass-producing an experimental drug which was originally created to fight Ebola.
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) are “preparing protocols for in vitro and in vivo studies of the antiviral Remdesivir, which has shown promise against other coronaviruses in animal models”.
The first coronavirus patient in the US, who was hospitalized in Washington State after returning from China, was treated with Remdesivir in late January and his symptoms improved.
Mark Denison, a virologist at Vanderbilt University who has studied coronaviruses since 1984, previously hinted that the drug could be beneficial.
He said on January 27: “Remdesivir has worked actively against every coronavirus we’ve tested, and I’d be surprised if it didn’t have activity against this one.
“The challenge with SARS, MERS, this novel Coronavirus, and other viruses that cause severe pneumonia is the window of opportunity.
“You have to get to patients early if you want to have a significant impact on disease.”
The ideal treatment for Covid-19 may well be a drug like Remdesivir plus monoclonal antibodies, Dr Denison believes.
He added: “The idea of using those in combination would have profoundly good prospects.”
Suzhou-based drug company BrightGene Bio-Medical Technology confirmed on Tuesday night that it had developed the technology to sympathize Remdesivir.
