National Health Commission of China reported there were 2,009 new confirmed cases of COVID-2019 and 142 deaths on February 15. And this increases the total number of Corona Virus cases in mainland China to 68,500, and the death toll is currently at 1,665.

Corona Virus conspiracy theory claims that COVID-2019 is not a natural-occurring disease, which originated from eating animals such as bats from the animal market in Wuhan. 

The unproven conspiracy theory alleges that the Corona Virus was a man-made disease that was created at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, China’s only level four biosafety laboratory, the highest-level classification of labs that work on the deadliest viruses. Conspiracy theorists claim that the corona virus was accidentally leaked into the 11 million population of Wuhan. 

Corona Virus is in at least 27 countries around the world, including 15 cases in the United States. But the hardest hit nation is where the respiratory disease originated from — China. The epicenter of the COVID-2019 outbreak is Wuhan, China. 

A book was written 39 years ago by Dean Koontz, the plot was based on a disease that was released in Wuhan, China. Is it not strange!

One of the first whistleblowers in the real Corona Virus outbreak was also a Chen. Prominent video blogger Chen Qiushi was one of the first people to warn of the dangers of the mysterious disease, way before the Chinese Government ever warned the public. 

The number of videos released by Chen had warned the world of the death and sickness that was happening in Wuhan.

Was that virus a fiction, in the book is considered the “perfect weapon” because it only affects humans, has a 100 percent kill-rate, and can’t survive outside the body for more than a minute. This means that an expensive decontamination process isn’t necessary after the virus ravaged the population, and the military can swoop in to control the territory soon after everyone has died.

Wuhan-400 affects people rather than animals and cannot survive outside the human body or in environments colder than 30 degrees Celsius.

The similarities between the made-up virus and the Wuhan virus has got Twitter users struggling to comprehend the improbable coincidence. One big difference: Wuhan-400 has a 100 percent kill-rate, while the Wuhan virus does not.

Some people were skeptical about Koontz's prediction 39 years ago, however, pointing out that earlier editions of the book refer to the virus as Gorki-400, a production of the Soviet Union. In response, several netizens have posted pictures of the book's newer editions to explain the name of the virus was indeed altered, possibly due to the end of the Cold War in 1991.
