Coronavirus PROPHECY: Did Stephen King predict Covid-19 in this book?

In the book, there is a mention of a killer virus called Wuhan-400, which is the name of the Chinese city where Covid-19 originated.

A character discusses biological warfare, naming it a “perfect weapon.”

An except reads: “A Chinese scientist … defected to the United States, carrying a diskette record of China’s most important and dangerous new biological weapon in a decade.

“They call the stuff ‘Wuhan-400’ because it was developed at their RDNA labs outside the city of Wuhan.

“The Stand,” King’s fourth novel, tells the story of a weaponized flu called “Project Blue,” which is accidentally released into a US Army base. Patient zero is a soldier who escapes the base with his family and infects a Texas town. By the time the Army tracks the soldier down, he, his wife and daughter are dead from the virus, which has spread locally. Unfortunately for King’s characters, the virus proves entirely resistant to all antibodies and vaccines, martial law fails to contain it and it ultimately kills off the vast majority of human and animal life. Unlike Project Blue, however, experts say the recovery rate for those who contract the coronavirus is quite high — comparable to the flu. While the disease has temporarily cratered the stock market, dealt a hefty blow to the airline industry and caused widespread quarantines and event cancellations, it may peak sooner than you think.
