Coronavirus Prediction

In uncertain, challenging times, we look for answers.  Answers to questions like, “How long will the shelter in place last?” “When will the curve of the coronavirus flatten out?” “Will there be enough ventilators to keep people alive?” “How drastically different will the world look once this is over?”

Having some concrete information helps us get through the daily fog of unpredictability. It’s a light at the end of the tunnel to keep marching toward, a goal to keep our eye on. While another blogger’s post does not answer those particular questions, she does offer Nostradamus’ prediction of the coronavirus. All food for thought I pass along to you too.

A French physician, astrologer, and seer from the 1500’s, Nostradamus lost his first wife and children to the plague. His predictions appear in his book Les Prophéties which was  first published in 1555 and has rarely been out of print since his death in 1556. Believers credit him with predicting:

• The Great Fire of London
• The French Revolution
• The rise of Napoleon
• The rise of Hitler
• World War I
• World War II
• The nuclear destruction of Hiroshima
• The nuclear destruction of Nagasaki
• The Apollo moon landings
• The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster
• Princess Diana’s death
• The 911 attacks
• Coronavirus pandemic

I like this one astrologer’s response that “Even if something looks obvious it’s how people respond to the factors that makes the difference.” As I like to say, “Take what you like and leave the rest…”
