WARNINGS OF VIRUS IN 1981

- Adela.whittingha­m@dailystar.co.uk

TWO authors appeared to predict coronoviru­s decades before the outbreak.

Dean Koontz’s thriller The Eyes Of Darkness, published in 1981, tells the story of a lethal man-made virus in Wuhan – the same Chinese city where coronaviru­s broke out.

In another spooky coincidenc­e, the doomsday book End Of Days – written by American psychic Sylvia Browne and published in 2008 – predicted there would be a pneumonia-like global pandemic in 2020.
