International mortality almost 1%

I hate commenting on estimated mortality rates, but i suspect that cases are significantly underreported especially where people are suffering mild symptoms. Realistically most people will not see a doctor with common cold type symptoms. As such Int mortality potentially significantly lower (in my opinion).

Also, I have seen very little reporting coming from America (now I haven't searched), however u would have thought that they would be experiencing more cases.

The dog that hasn’t barked yet, no healthy Westerners, Africans etc have died yet?

guys, this is freaking me out. what can we make of this? if this book is not a fake book written in the last month (and I googled it, seems to be real/from 1980) nobody can tell me this is all a coincidence and especially no conspiracy stuff anymore..:eek:

so-called psychic mediums make predictions all the time. Occassionally one turns out to be correct but even a blind squirrel will find the occassional nut.

but these are not general 'psychic meduim predictions' about some pandemie from my pov. It describes exactly this case, a pneumonial virus, developed in the labs outside of WUHAN. That's what written in this book, no denying or downplaying it.

I can't get my head around why people could not be shocked by this..
Also, the book gives a very interesting hint: they always say the virus must have come from a bat/pangolin or whatever animal. Did they do tests in the last weeks to see if the virus is even able to live/reproduce in this animals to determine whether they could even be the spreader? would be a revealing study..

and i can't stand it anymore people jumping out calling this conspiracy theories, they are not, it's the complete opposite: they are very realistic scenarios. if somebody would say, ok, the lizard people are at it again, sure, BS, not listening, but it has to be discussed and to find out in the end where this virus came from and it doesn't help to taboo and call people conspiracy nuts (why at all I ask myself, you only taboo and shoot down subjects because there's some truth which shouldn't be discovered) when there are very valid and likely reasons to believe it was manmade coming from a lab in Wuhan.

you showed 2 pages from a work of fiction. the details of which do not match up with the current virus apart from the location. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/dean-koontz-predicted-coronavirus/

3rd page is from a different book 'End of days Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World.

"AMERICAN author Sylvia Browne may have prophesied the outbreak of Covid-19 in a book published 12 years ago.

In her book End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World, which was co-written with Lindsay Harrison, Browne predicts the outbreak of a respiratory-related illness that will wreak havoc around the world.

“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,“ reads a passage from the book.

“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.”

Browne was a fixture on American talk shows, and claimed to be a medium with psychic abilities. She died in 2013."

Tbh - It reminds me a bit of HG Wells War of the Worlds where the common cold (a corona virus) defeats the army of invading aliens

These germs of disease have taken toll of humanity since the beginning of things—taken toll of our prehuman ancestors since life began here. But by virtue of this natural selection of our kind we have developed resisting power; to no germs do we succumb without a struggle,

You want to really go down that rabbit hole have a look at Madonnas Eurovision number in Tel Aviv.

It's like she could see the future!! :-)
Feck it lads, we're living in the matrix :-)

Well I believe in the tooth fairy. No more discussion please, I want to leave it at that.

Btw, you seem like the gullible sort. Can I sell you some crystals to protect against the disease?

I also believe it could be manmade, there has been a lot going on in China and this just came out of nowhere didn't it?
