Did Dean Koontz envision Coronavirus 2020 some 40 years ago?

[Old_Observer]

Dean Koontz is a writer who almost to a Tee wrote of Coronavirus.

The name was Gorki Virus/400 in the 1981 edition and was changed to Wuhan 400 in 1989 edition.

2020s could have been 2021 or 2019, but 2020s is on spot for timing.

In the original edition the virus has 100% kill rate, but who knows the story of COVID-19 and future mutations is unknown.

In the original and also later editions Gorki or Wuhan 400 were all man made bio-weapons. CNN says that was a miss, of course as major media, but not known yet and could be man made and man distributed as the book says.

 

Is George Orwell or Dean Koontz closer to real happenings.
