In Century 2, Quatrain 19, Nostradamus wrote of plague and famine.
The passage reads: “Newcomers, place built without defence,
“Place occupied then uninhabitable: Meadows, houses, fields, towns to take at pleasure,
“Famine, plague, war, extensive land arable.”
Although the coronavirus has infected more than 135,000 people and killed nearly 5,000, the disease can be hardly called a plague.
Nostradamus’ skeptics also believe the mystic’s quatrains are too vague to be considered literally.
Brian Dunning, a science writer and host of the Skeptoid podcast, argued on his show interpreting Nostradamus’ poems falls within the realm of conspiracy theories.
