#Just a PSA because I’m seeing a lot of people make posts about this after Harry mentioned it on that horrid interview!#In the original version of The Eyes of Darkness the novel actually didn’t even mention Wuhan-400.#Dean Koontz originally called the microorganism Gorki-400 a reference to a Russian city that#after the dissolution of the Soviet Union was renamed Nizhni Novgorod.#The Gorki-400 virus was created in the book by Russians with the intention of developing a biological weapon.#It was in 1988 after the end of the Cold War and with rumors going around at the time that China#had biological weapons the book was relaunched and needed a new villain so the name was changed#and also part of the characters who all got Chinese names.#Also the page that talks about 2020 is not even from the same book. That’s an excerpt from#“End of Days: Predictions and prophecies about the end of the world” by Sylvia Browne published in 2008.#I understand that conspiracy theories can be entertaining and all that but with all the racist assaults and ignorant attacks against#Asian people spreading faster than the actual virus it really is important for us to educate ourselves and#always fact check the information you see being spread on the internet.#There is nothing to indicate that the coronavirus is a “biological weapon” like the one depicted in the book.#It is simply a group of viruses that cause illnesses ranging from the common cold to more serious diseases.#Also Wuhan-400 has little in common with Covid-19. 1) There is no evidence that Covid-19 was created in a lab#or engineered by people like Wuhan-400 was. 2) According to the book Wuhan-400 “afflicts only human beings” and#“no other living creature can carry it”. Covid-19 is believed to have crossed over to humans from animals.#3) Wuhan-400 has a “kill-rate” of 100% while Covid-19 has a fatality rate of 2%.#So yeah both have an association with the city of Wuhan but the similarities pretty much end there.#This is in no way a callout to Harry or anything like that just thought it was important to debunk that because rumors and theories about#the virus have shown to be anything but harmless.
