People are starting to talk and wonder about the bold prediction made by psychic Sylvia Browne in her 2008 book called End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World, when she wrote about a sickness like the current coronavirus.

In that book, Browne wrote: "In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.

“Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it has arrived, attack again 10 years later, and then disappear completely."

You can purchase the Sylvie Browne book on Amazon.

Since the coronavirus first appeared in China in December it has been declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The disease has infected more than 154,000, killing at least 5,400.

Prior to her death in 2013, Browne had penned more than 40 books, predicting various events.

She also was a guest on various talk and news shows.

Although she successfully predicted some things, she was wrong on a lot others and was discredited for that.

Whether or not you believe in psychics, it’s hard to doubt what Browne predicted after seeing how coronavirus has spread throughout the world. And she was dead-on with the year -- 2020!

If she was right, hopefully her prediction about the virus vanishing as quickly as it arrives comes to fruition, too.
