As much as has been written on the Wuhan Flu by now you may think there’s little left to say on the subject. But tarry with me a bit. You may be surprised.
For several reasons the global quarantine underway brings to mind “the Wandering Sickness” forecast in H. G. Wells’ 1933 Futurist prophecy, The Shape of Things To Come; which was adapted to film by Wells himself in ‘36 under the abbreviated title, Things To Come.
Now, before the reader dismisses it wholly as a work of fiction and coincidence, know that Wells himself describes it as the clairvoyant vision received by his fellow Technocrat, and eminent League of Nations diplomat, Dr. Phillip Raven. Not only did Wells and world leaders deem this prophecy true, but as a blueprint to be actively pursued.
