Covid-19 to cause destruction again? Predictions made by this woman have come true so far, now this prediction is going viral
Japan's 'Baba Vanga' Ryo Tatsuki (File) Amid rising Covid-19 cases that have sparked fears about the deadly pandemic to once again wreak havoc across the globe, a chilling prediction by Ryo Tatsuki– a Japanese manga artist, author, and prophet– has come to the light, which predicts that the lethal virus, which claimed over 7 million lives worldwide, will return with a vengeance in 2030. Covid-19 to return in 2030? In her writings, Ryo Tatsuki, who had accurately predicted the Covid-19 pandemic would hit its peak in April 2020, has made several other chilling predictions about the deadly virus. According to her 1999 book, 'The Future as I See It', Tatsuki has prophesized that there is a possibility that the Covid-19 pandemic could make a vengeful return in 2030. In her book, Ryo Tatsuki, dubbed the Baba Vanga of Japan, had predicted that Covid-19 pandemic will vanish for a while, before making a devastating return in 2030. Tatsuki predicts that the pandemic in 2030 would be deadlier that its 2020 counterpart, and wreak havoc across the world, claiming more lives than before. Notably, Tatsuki has also prophesized that a mega-tsunami will strike Japan in July 2025 which could devastate the entire country. The prediction comes amid fresh Covid JN.1 cases being reported across Asia, including in Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong. According to latest figures, the total number of active cases in India has crossed 250, with the highest being reported from Mumbai in Maharashtra. Who is Ryo Tatsuki? A manga artist by profession, Ryo Tatsuki is a self-proclaimed clairvoyant and prophet, who shot to fame with 1999 book 'The Future I Saw', in which she reportedly made a series of eerily accurate predictions of key world events that would unfold in the coming years. Unlike other 'prophets', Tatsuki records her spontaneous flashes of vivid dreams and mental images in a straightforward manner, without any interpretation. In a 2021 update of her book, Ryo Tatsuki has predicted that catastrophic undersea rupture between Japan and the Philippines would trigger a massive tsunami in the region in July this year.
