The specific quote from the book:

"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."

I think it's complete bullshit, but also no surprise why it is so popular.

Make enough predictions and one is bound to land. It's not even the first coronavirus outbreak "around 2020."
