Reuters looked at further references of “Wuhan-400” in Koontz’s book. Health experts think it may have originated in bats and then passed to humans, possibly via another species. The virus is believed to have originated late last year in a food market in Wuhan that was illegally selling wildlife.
There is no proof that the new coronavirus was created in a lab. He also wrote it was developed by labs outside of the city of Wuhan. In his novel, Koontz described “Wuhan-400” as “China’s most important and dangerous: new biological weapon in a decade”.
While it is true that Koontz wrote about a fictional virus in his novel and that its name “Wuhan-400” refers the Chinese city in which the 2019 Coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) actually started, the illness in his book doesn’t share more traits with COVID-19.
