In the book titled End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World, Ms Browne predicted a widespread pneumonia pandemic in 2008.
Although the coronavirus is not outright pneumonia, the virus can trigger flu-like and pneumonia-like symptoms.
But what exactly did Ms Browne, who died in 2013, say?
Her book reads:
“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.”
