Reports has it that Novelist Dean Koontz may have predicted the coronavirus outbreak in a book, “The Eyes of Darkness” he wrote in 39 years old ago (1981).
The fictional novel tells the story of a Chinese military lab located in Wuhan, China that creates a new virus to potentially use as a biological weapon during wartime and the made-up virus is called Wuhan-400.

In the “The Eyes of Darkness”, the virus is called the “perfect weapon” because it only affects humans and cannot survive outside the human body for more than a minute.
The book also says the “perfect weapon” does not require an expensive decontamination process once it spreads through a population and those who contract it.

The coincidence between the Dean Koontz book’s virus and the actual coronavirus outbreak means he might have predicted the health emergency. The book also stated the name of a scientist, Li Chen who defected to the United states carrying the ‘Wuhan-400’.
In 2020, the coronavirus has surfaced and it originated in Wuhan, China and has become a health emergency around the world.
It would be recalled that the Chinese doctor, Li Wenliang who first issued early warning on coronavirus became widely regarded as a hero in China after he died of the virus at the age of 34 in Wuhan, China.
