Covid
The book published in 1981 that predicted the Coronavirus?

Just seen something on social media about a book that was published in 1981. Just read the reviews on Amazon and some of them are chilling. Here are some pictures of what was written. Thoughts?

There has been a long thread about this already. It references the snopes.com page debunking this.

Oh! I thought someone might of posted about it already! My apologises. How sad must people be to change words in books for a reaction?

Watch Utopia by Channel 4 on Amazon Prime to really freak yourself out 😂

@CheekyMango - I have watched half of Utopia, many years ago.
Does it reference this?

That's weird. Part of me wonders if this has been created.

@PollyPocketLucyLocket no reference to the book but with all this coronavirus stuff I remembered the plot so I'm rewatching it. Basically based on a conspiracy theory of anti humanists if that's what they're called trying to limit population. I don't think that's what coronavirus is, but with all the hype I thought I'd re watch it.
