Sylvia Browne

The famous self-proclaimed psychic, Sylvia Browne, made a net worth of over a million dollars from her business. She was an American author who faced many criticisms for making false predictions.

Browne claimed to possess psychic ability, and she had a cult following until her death in 2013. Recently in 2020, Sylvia's book, "End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World," attracted media attention. In the book which she wrote in 2008, Sylvia claimed a severe illness like pneumonia would spread in 2020.

At present, people are facing a global pandemic of Corona-Virus (COVID-19), and the number of death tolls is increasing exponentially. After seven years of her death, social media users have related Sylvia's prediction from the book to the corona-virus. So, how true are her claims?

Did Sylvia predict the coronavirus in her book End of Days?

In 2008, Sylvia, along with a writer, Lindsay Harrison, published a book about prophecies that claimed about the ending of the world. In the book, she wrote:

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

However, as per a paranormal investigator, COVID-19 can lead to pneumonia, but it is not a severe pneumonia-like illness. Therefore, it can be said that Sylvia's predictions are not "entirely accurate."

The corona-virus was first identified in Wuhan City, China, in 2019. Afterward, the virus has since spread rapidly, resulting in the 2020 global pandemic. Many famous names such as Tom Hanks and his wife, Rita Wilson, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Idris Elba, Debi Mazar, have been tested positive for corona-virus, among others.
