Japanese manga author Ryo Tatsuki, also known as Japan’s Baba Vanga, reportedly predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would hit the world in 2020. According to Japan Today, she wrote a comic titled ‘The future as I see it” in 1999, which predicted that a virus would cause global devastation in 2020. She wrote, “Around 2020, an unknown virus will appear, reaching its peak in April.” (Image: Pexels)

COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on the world, with the worst scenario emerging in 2021 when the Delta variant caused widespread death. However, Tatsuki’s predictions for the coming years are scarier, especially about the COVID virus. (Image: Pexels)

According to reports, she predicted the return of the virus. As per her, COVID-19 will stage a comeback in 2030. She wrote in the same comic “it will then vanish but reappear in 2030.” (Image: Pexels)

Nonetheless, her prediction follows a ’15-year cycle’ and don’t necessarily come true at the same time. Hence, if nothing happens in 2030, then the danger will be shifted forward by another 15 years to 2045. (Image: Pexels)

Her followers say her forecasts are not mere coincidence. In the early 1990s, she reportedly foretold the deaths of Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury, the 2011 Kobe earthquake, and even the COVID-19 crisis. (Image: Wikimedia Commons)
