Book predicted coronavirus 40 years ago!

An excerpt from bestselling author Dean Koontz’s suspense thriller “The Eyes of Darkness” which got released in 1981 is now revolving around Social Media.

The excerpt tells of a Chinese military lab that creates a virus as part of its biological weapons programme.

In chapter 39 of his book, Koontz writes that the lab is located in Wuhan, which lends the virus its name, Wuhan-400.

The excerpt was shared by Congress leader Manish Tewari on his Twitter page.

“Is Coranavirus a biological Weapon developed by the Chinese called Wuhan -400? This book was published in 1981. Do read the excerpt,” Congress leader Manish Tewari tweeted.

Tewari highlighted a paragraph that read: “They call the stuff ‘Wuhan-400’ because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside of the city of Wuhan, and it was the four-hundredth viable strain of man-made micro-organisms created at that centre.”

More than 1500 people have died due to the disease.
