Baba Vanga chilling prediction on 2030 COVID comeback goes viral as India reports spike in cases
I
t has been more than four years since the world began to emerge from the worst health crisis in a century—COVID-19. But even in 2025, the scars from that period remain vivid and raw.
The lockdowns, the mass exodus of migrant workers, overflowing hospitals, oxygen shortages, economic meltdowns, and widespread grief are still etched in public memory. According to the latest data by Worldometers, as of April 2024, over 70 lakh lives were lost globally to COVID-19, with a staggering 704,753,890 confirmed cases reported.
While most of the world had moved on to 'living with the virus', a sudden resurgence of cases in 2025 has triggered fresh anxiety.
This latest spike, particularly in India, is drawing not just medical but also mystical attention—thanks to eerie predictions made by Japanese manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, dubbed Japan's Baba Vanga. Her 1999 book, 'The Future as I See It,' had accurately predicted the arrival of an 'unknown virus in 2020' and warns of its 'return in 2030' with greater devastation.
Amid a renewed wave of infections in India, her prophecies have returned to the spotlight, making an already tense atmosphere even more unsettling.

Baba Vanga of Japan 'Ryo Tatsuki's' chilling 2030 COVID prediction resurfaces
While governments and health agencies focus on science and surveillance, the public has increasingly turned to Ryo Tatsuki—a Japanese manga artist who claimed to have prophetic dreams. In 1999, Tatsuki published a book titled
'The Future as I See It'
in which she made dozens of predictions based on visions that came to her in nightmares.
The most chilling prophecy reads:
'An unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later.'
Not only did Tatsuki's prediction match the COVID-19 timeline in 2020—when India and most of the world saw a major peak in April 2020—but her warning about the virus's return in 2030 has begun to recirculate widely on social media. Many believe the small resurgence in 2025 is a prelude to something bigger.
She further warned that the return would be deadlier and more widespread, with
'greater devastation and loss of life.'
Internet reacts: Social media buzz and public fear
Following the sudden rise in cases and resurfacing of Tatsuki's prophecy:
Hashtags like #TatsukiPrediction, #COVID2030, and #PandemicProphecy began trending on X (formerly Twitter).
Numerous TikTok videos, YouTube shorts, and Instagram reels are comparing current data with Tatsuki's 1999 book.
Online forums have seen a surge in conspiracy theories, with some comparing her accuracy to that of Nostradamus and Baba Vanga.
While many remain skeptical, the psychological impact of such predictions amid a real health crisis cannot be ignored.
COVID-19 in 2025: The current status of the resurgence in India
After months of near-zero infections and minimal hospitalizations, India has seen a sudden and alarming uptick in COVID-19 cases in May 2025. According to Times of India reports:
As of May 27, India has crossed the 1,000 mark in active COVID-19 cases.
Just a week ago, the figure stood at 257 cases, indicating a four-fold increase within days.
Symptoms confuse diagnosis: COVID-19 vs. flu or common cold
Doctors across India have also warned of overlapping symptoms between the new COVID-19 variant and the common cold or flu, making it increasingly difficult to diagnose without a proper test. Common symptoms being reported include:
Mild to moderate fever
Persistent cough
Fatigue
Nasal congestion
Loss of smell or taste (in some cases)
Headaches and body aches
This similarity has led many patients to either ignore symptoms or self-medicate, delaying timely treatment or isolation—thus facilitating community spread.
What experts are saying: New variant or just a seasonal spike
Although there is no confirmed report of a new, more infectious or dangerous variant, virologists and health officials are not ruling out the possibility. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) is currently studying samples from the most-affected regions. According to initial findings:
The XBB subvariant of Omicron remains dominant.
The cases are mild, with very few requiring hospitalization.
No surge in mortality has been reported so far.
However, what makes this wave concerning is the speed of its spread and the resurfacing of international air travel as a risk vector—something authorities are beginning to monitor closely.
Government response: Are we prepared this time
The Indian government, so far, has taken the following measures:
Issued advisories for increased testing in Kerala, Maharashtra, and Delhi.
Suggested mask mandates in hospitals, airports, and public transport in affected areas.
Stockpiling of antiviral drugs and COVID-19 vaccines is underway, though no mass vaccination drive has yet been announced.

Ayushman enrolments see dip as private hospitals back off over rates, delays
Ayushman enrolments see dip as private hospitals back off over rates, delays (Picture credit: PTI) NEW DELHI: Empanelment of hospitals under the Ayushman Bharat-PM Jan Arogya Yojana has dropped significantly, from an average of 316 per month in 2024 to 111 per month in 2025, as of April. Data shared by National Health Authority (NHA) on scheme's dashboard shows that 443 hospitals were empanelled under the AB-PMJAY across India in four months - 161 in Jan, 187 in Feb, 40 in March and 55 in April. In May, the latest update shows, 20 hospitals were empanelled. Many healthcare associations point out that low package rates and delayed payments are key reasons behind the lukewarm response to government schemes from the private sector, especially large corporate hospital chains. However, a senior official of NHA - the implementing agency of the AB-PMJAY - said empanelment is taking place and that some of the new empanelments may not have been updated as they were migrating to a new system. AB-PMJAY, which is available in all states/UTs, except West Bengal, offers treatment worth Rs 5 lakh and, in some cases, more, per family for treatment of nearly 2,000 procedures involving specialties, including medical oncology (cancer treatment), emergency care, orthopaedic and urology (kidney-related ailments). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The CEO of a top hospital chain in Delhi, the latest state to join the scheme, told TOI that package rates offered for various procedures under the AB-PMJAY were lower than their input cost. "We may join the scheme if the package rates are increased," he said. The Indian Medical Association has also stressed on the need to increase package rates to make treatment under the scheme more sustainable. "The rates should be raised to at least CGHS level," said an IMA office-bearer. As many as 609 private hospitals have opted out of the scheme since 2018, minister of state for health Prataprao Jadhav said in a written response to a Parliament question in March. "The reasons for hospitals voluntarily opting out include empanelment only for Covid period, hospitals were closed or non-functional, changes in hospital entity, hospital relocated, ongoing reconstruction or renovation, unavailability of specialist doctors, voluntary withdrawal from scheme, package rates, opting out due to certain treatment packages reserved for public hospitals only (Chhattisgarh and Gujarat), and no referral from public hospitals (Karnataka)," he added.

New Delhi: In response to a rise in Covid-19 cases in the city and a confirmed case at Godavari Hostel, Jawaharlal Nehru University has issued an advisory urging preventive measures across the campus. A student tested positive for the virus on Saturday, prompting Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) to call for immediate action from the university administration. On Sunday, JNUSU released a statement confirming that the student is recovering and experiencing only mild symptoms. "The chief medical officer (CMO) has informed us that current positive cases are being managed through home isolation, and there is no need for separate isolation wards at this stage. Any such decisions will be taken based on the evolving situation," the statement read. The students' union also urged students to stay calm and avoid panic. "The student who tested positive is doing well and currently only has a mild headache, with no fever or sore throat," it added. The university's official advisory emphasised the importance of immediate preventive action to protect students, staff and residents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investi in Azioni Italia fino a 2€ BG SAXO Scopri di più Undo It requested all members of the university community to follow basic Covid-19 precautions, such as frequent handwashing or sanitisation, wearing masks during public gatherings and maintaining personal hygiene.

"Deans of schools and chairpersons of special centres are advised to constitute Covid monitoring committees at their respective levels," the advisory stated. In addition, the university's health centre and security branch have been tasked with raising awareness among frontline staff.

2 cases in a day, Bengal Covid tally rises 20 times in 2 weeks
Kolkata: From a mere 13 active cases until the second week of May, active Covid-19 cases in Bengal rose to a staggering 287 on Sunday, increasing more than 20 times over the past fortnight. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now According to the Centre's Covid dashboard, Bengal had the fifth-highest caseload among all states. Even as 82 fresh Covid cases were reported in the past 24 hours, mostly from Kolkata, health department officials said the situation is under control and there was no need to press the panic button. Doctors emphasised that prevention is key, especially for those vulnerable to severe infection, to keep the virus at bay. In the first week of May, the state logged only one Covid case. Twelve more cases appeared by the second week, raising the active case tally to 13. Sources said the rapid uptick in cases started from the third week. On May 31, the Union health ministry mandated all labs to update Covid-positive data on a daily basis, changing the weekly reporting norm that was in force since June 2024, due to a sharp rise in cases across states. On Saturday, the first day of the daily reporting mandate, the reported active caseload was 205, with 89 fresh cases. On Sunday, the active caseload rose further to 287. "The situation is under control as most cases are already mild infections, and most of those admitted have pre-existing conditions. There is no reason to panic. We are monitoring the situation closely," said a state health official. Despite the health department's assurance of close monitoring, there has been no guideline issued on testing, treatment or preserving samples for genomic sequencing yet. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The only govt guideline issued amid the current spike has been to ask private labs to submit Covid-positive reports parallelly to the health department, in addition to uploading them with the Indian Council of Medical Research. "While there is no reason to press an alarm bell, we need to be proactive, at least by issuing certain guidelines that would trigger the public and doctors to remain alert," said a senior doctor at a govt hospital. Senior pulmonologist Dhiman Ganguly, who was part of the state's expert committee on Covid during the first wave, said the virus is likely to cause mostly mild infections. "If tests are conducted on everyone with respiratory infections, the number of positive cases could be at least 10 times higher than the present data. But even if the virus was half as virulent as what we saw during the first two waves, we would not have a good number of severe cases," Ganguly added. Labs across the city said that while the number of swab samples has increased slightly in the past three to four weeks, the numbers are still not very high, and the positivity rate is between 15% and 20%. "In terms of severity, the situation does not seem alarming. But testing could play a role in preventing the vulnerable — individuals at the extreme ends of age, the immunocompromised and those with comorbidities — because these infections could be a double whammy for them," said microbiologist Partha Guchhait of Peerless Hospital.
