While it is being said that coronavirus originated from seafood which was getting illegally sold in Wuhan province of China, there are also some reports which say that it is a type of bioweapon which got prepared in a lab. However, the social media networks are also full of claims as per which there are few books and sitcoms that have earlier predicted an outbreak like this.

Here is the list of the books, movies and sitcoms which predicted the outbreak similar to coronavirus:

1. The Eyes of The Darkness by Dean Koontz

The author Dean Koontz talked about a virus named Wuhan-400 in his book The Eyes of Darkness which got released in 1981. As per the author, this virus was a bio-weapon which was created in a lab by the scientists and it was capable of removing a complete city from the world map. As coronavirus has also originated from Wuhan and it also has the same symptoms, people started circulating the excerpts of the book which talked about Wuhan-400.

2. End of Days by Sylvia Browne

Sylvia Browne, the author of End of Days, claims to have psychic abilities and in her book, she has made a prediction as per which a disease that will be like pneumonia but severe in nature and will harm the lungs and bronchial tubes will spread in the world in 2020. She has also written that the disease will disappear as quickly as it arrived but then it will make a comeback after 10 years and then it will vanish completely.

3. Hollywood movie “Contagion”

In 2011, Steven Soderbergh directed movie “Contagion” got released and it was based on a plot which is similar to coronavirus outbreak. In the film, the fictional virus was named as MEV-1 and it got originated in Hong Kong. It was quite lethal as it took lives of almost 20% of people who got infected with it. The flick which starred Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Winslet, Matt Damon and others also showed how technology can be used to circulate myth and wrong information.

Coronavirus has scared the whole world and a majority of people are trying to remain safe by following the precautions given by the government and the authorities but there are some individuals who are acting irresponsibly and risking not only their own life but lives of others as well. What makes it more pathetic is the fact that such people are affluent, literate and enjoy the celebrity status in the society.

Yes, you guessed it right! We are talking about none other than Kanika Kapoor, the Bollywood singer who has returned from London on March 15 and has been tested positive for COVID-19 now. However, what has made things uglier is the fact that she has attended few parties after returning from London and those parties were attended by a good number of guests including politicians, bureaucrats, and VVIPs. It is really disheartening to see that when the government is asking everyone to avoid mass gatherings, practice social distancing and staying at home, these high class people are partying and making themselves vulnerable to a disease for which no vaccine is available at the moment.

It is also being said that Kanika Kapoor has hidden her travel details from the airport authorities and come out of the airport without proper screening. Moreover, her father said that she attended three parties after returning from the UK. However, Kanika has denied all the allegations and said that she went under proper screen and didn’t hide anything from the authorities. On the question of attending parties, she said that she didn’t go to any party and she just attended a family get together of 30 people.

The UP government has taken the legal route against the singer as the evidences that they have found are not matching with what Kanika is saying. The Indian Twitterati is pretty angry with what Kanika has done and they have trolled her left and right. Here are some of the selected tweets:
