Did I Predict the CoronaVirus in 2007?
Maybe I did. I had completely forgotten about this post about horrifying Chinese food that I wrote in the leadup to the Olympics being hosted in China. Someone pointed it out on Twitter in which I predicted that the Chinese eating bat-like Civet Cats was going to cause a disease worse than Sars.
That original post is here: http://www.belch.com/blog/2007/12/10/civet-cat-dipped-in-piss-its-whats-for-dinner/
Scientists now believe that the virus originated from Bats. Whether or not those bats are spreading the disease through scat or if the Chinese are actually eating the damn things is another story.
