How many "Psychics" saw this coming?

Every year we see a bunch of "Psychics" list their predictions. I guess this year I was preoccupied with the bushfires, but I didn't see any. I'm going to go way out on a limb and suggest that none of them predicted a global lockdown...

My neighbour claims that Nostradamus predicted it. I said it was a shame that Nostradamus only ever predicts things after they happen...
 
Given the large number of these grifters making all kinds of claims you would think a few out there have material to shoehorn.
 
I'd like to point out that several months ago when Rees-Mogg released his book "The Victorians" I recommended everyone look out for remaindered copies in the discount bins as a helpful alternative to toilet paper in a crisis. Bet you wish you'd listened now, huh?

Now please excuse me, I had a curry last night and I need to finish chapter three....

Recycling books in this manner is good advice.

I don’t recommend trying to scrape through with just a Kindle.
 

Seriously though, this is one time I wouldn't hate her being right. Odds are she won't be though...

In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely.

As soon as I saw that Sylvia tidbit show up in the news, I wished RSL was around to say something about it.
 
I think that if you were psychic but didn't know...
I mean you have no idea...
No idea about anything, literally anything at all and you had a premonition about this, it might easily come out 'covfefe'.

I think we found Trump's Rasputin. He's been taking psychic advice from Sylvia Browne the whole time :jaw-dropp :covereyes .
 
*looks a wrist watch* At some point we can expect the "Nostradamus Predicted COVID-19" headlines from the usual source.
With all the things he apparently predicted, you'd think someone would get an overview of his predictions so that they could warn us before things happened, instead of going "oh, Nostradamus like totally predicted this". Advance warning of a pandemic would've been incredibly useful.
