dean Koontz book in 1991 makes u think is this a man made virus and the man that tried to whitlseblow then died suddenly fron this virus...
I read a similar book many years ago ,but cannot remember the name, but it was not that one. It may have been by Frederick Forsythe. But it does get you thinking, biological weapons are dreadful.
It's a piece of fiction, prophetic (in terms of geography but the majority of flu like viruses originate in this part of the world for various reasons). It's not hard to predict this considering there have been strains of killer 'flu' type virus originating from China consistently over the last couple of hundred years. I predict there will be another one in 5 years time
It’s actually 1981 not 91. Though the original version of the book didn’t reference Wuhan, that came in a rewrite when it was republished in 2008. Originally it was Gorky. I’m guessing soviet sensitivities forced that change, though Nizhny Novgorod-400 (it hasn’t been known as Gorky since the nineties) doesn’t flow as easily!
The next supervirus epidemic will start in 2022 in the city of Tianjin. It will be because of contamination by swiftlet saliva. You heard it here first. Get your money on now!
That second page isn't even from the same book. For more info see: https://fullfact.org/online/books-supposedly-predict-covid-19/
The excerpts are from two different books. https://fullfact.org/online/book-didnt-predict-coronavirus/
And if you ask that other fella with the longwinded Irish name, about 7 people live there because the govt lie about population sizes
