Back in 1981 an author named Dean Koonz wrote a book called The Eyes of Darkness back in 1981 about a virus that infects people within hours and is 100% lethal. In the book the virus event happens in 2020 and was called Gorki-400 named after the city in Russia where it was developed.
Many, many years later Russia not being the consummate bad guy they once were, Dean decided to revise his book to a new bad guy: China. Wuhan being a city where they have a virus lab...and tada "Wuhan-400"
So the book went (fun book by the way). Until someone a couple of things together and said "OMG Dean Koonz" predicted the virus from Wuhan!
Well no. Even Dean Kootz responded to CNN back in March with the following:
"No, @CNN, I didn�t predict 100% deaths from corona. My 1981 novel isn�t about corona. Its MacGuffin is a bio-war bug, �Wuhan-400.� Coincidence."
The author himself cites coincidence.

Silvia Browne was con-artist who claimed herself to be a psychic. She prayed upon the desperate and naive (like all psychics) by making generalist claims under the age old art of "cold reading"
(see attached link for the tricks of the trade--yes you too can be a psychic)
Being famous and not being stupid, a few years after SARS showed up she wrote a book with a bunch of generalist guesses (and being a fan of Dean Koonz) she wrote that a pneumonia like virus would hit * 2020*. You'll note her 2010 prediction above the 2020 one was an utter fail. As for the sudden disappear and come back? Hey viruses kinda are like that.
