Prediction of Coronavirus in A Novel

This theory is the scariest one because of the fascinating accuracy with which this 1981 book predicts the outbreak and the resemblance between ‘Wuhan-400’ and Coronavirus. Soon after the news of the outbreak broke, several users started pointing out that a passage from the 1981 book ‘The Eyes of Darkness’ by Dean Koontz in a strange manner predicts the Coronavirus outbreak. The photograph of the passage from the book went viral because the resemblance was mysterious and the evidence was hard to dismiss. Going to the background, the plot is based around a mother who attempts to find out what happened to her son after he mysteriously disappeared on a camping trip and finds that the boy is held in China , more specifically in Wuhan , the site of a deadly virus outbreak. The character named Dombey also narrates the origin of a virus called ‘Wuhan-400’ which was developed at the RDNA lab outside the city of Wuhan, and surprisingly explaining that “it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made microorganisms which was created at that research centre’.
