Nadia Bartel shares a strangely prophetic book that some say predicts the coronavirus

Nadia Bartel shared a viral meme showing the passage from a book that seems to predict coronavirus.

The 34-year-old woman posted the page on her Instagram stories on Sunday capturing it: “ It was written 40 years ago. Weird! ‘

The page reads: “ Around 2020, a serious illness similar to pneumonia will spread worldwide, attacking the lungs and bronchi and resisting all known treatments.

“Almost more baffling than the disease itself will be the fact that it will suddenly go away as quickly as it happened, attack again 10 years later, and then go away completely.”

The passage is taken from the psychic ending book Sylvia Brown, End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World, published 12 years ago, in 2008.

However, the meme that the former WAG shared actually names the book as Dean Koontz’s Eyes of Darkness, published in 1981.

Many shared the meme – the bizarre claims, which stormed social media, were shared by reality star Kim Kardashian, 39, who posted a book excerpt on Twitter before copying it to his Instagram stories.

Theorists drew attention to his description of a “pneumonia-like disease” that attacks “lungs and bronchi” and claimed to correspond to that of respiratory disease today.

However, fact-checking website Snopes.com pointed out that the SARS virus had occurred a few years before the book was published by Sylvia Brown and could have inspired the passage.

Sylvia Browne was best known in her life for writing more than 40 books and was a frequent guest on talk shows, during which she did psychic readings with guests or callers.

But she was almost as infamous for her repeated false or discredited predictions.

She made many other significant mistakes in predicting the results of the kidnappings, and she was even 11 years old at the age of her death.
