Baba Vanga’s Chilling 2030 Prediction on COVID Resurgence Resurfaces Amid Rising Cases in India
As fresh cases rise in India, a decades-old prophecy about a deadlier coronavirus return gains new attention
The scars left by the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 are far from healed. Even as much of the world has adapted to a new normal, the virus appears to be staging a quiet comeback. In India, the steady uptick in cases through 2025 has reignited fears, not only from a medical standpoint, but also from a prophetic one. A chilling prediction made decades ago by Japanese manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, often referred to as the “Baba Venga of Japan,” is once again stirring anxiety.
Tatsuki, in her 1999 book The Future as I See It, predicted the emergence of an “unknown virus” in 2020, a forecast that many now link to the COVID-19 pandemic. She also issued a stark warning: the virus would return in 2030 in a far more devastating form. According to her, the future wave would lead to widespread destruction, significant loss of life, and global disruption far beyond what was experienced during the initial outbreak.
This prophecy, long dismissed by skeptics, is back in conversation as active COVID-19 cases climb across India. According to data from the Union Health Ministry, the country currently reports 2,710 active cases. Kerala leads with 1,147 patients, followed by Maharashtra with 424 and Delhi with 294. Gujarat, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu each report more than 100 active cases.
While there is no scientific evidence linking the 2025 surge to a larger catastrophe, many on social media have begun to view it as a prelude to something more ominous. The psychological weight of Tatsuki’s prediction has compounded the unease, especially in a society still recovering from the trauma of 2020.
Supporters of the prophecy point to the eerie accuracy of her previous prediction, while others caution against spreading panic. Nevertheless, with new infections quietly on the rise, and with her 2030 forecast now circulating widely, the atmosphere is thick with uncertainty.
For now, public health experts emphasize vigilance and continued vaccination rather than fear. But in a world increasingly shaped by both science and speculation, the lines between prophecy and possibility remain unsettlingly thin.
