Apparently only the motor oil came back negative?

Meanwhile: a montage of scenes from 2003 tv show featuring mysterious highly infectious Chinese virus, lockdown, masks are useless/masks are required, some people collapsing suddenly, and chloroquine antimalarial drug being highly effective treatment:

The west will not like this at all. Don’t be surprised if a war starts in Tanzania or the president is killed soon.

Don’t even know what the conditions were like in their laboratories.

Strange how this stuff always seems to have been in an old movie, I dont quite know what to think of it.

I don't know if the show was a direct take from the novel or not, but it was based on a book by Stephen King that was from 1979 (almost as old as I am). I'm curious to check out the book and see if it lines up the same.

I think you're referring to The Stand? Anyway, I just thought it was really "coincidental" that CHLOROQUINE was used as a great treatment in the movie, when we see that is what's been touted the last couple of months in regards to the coronavirus.

No, I was referring to the novel The Dead Zone.

Ironically, while searching for information on the novel, I stumbled across an article saying that King apologized for his "prediction", and explained where the idea came from.

But when it comes to the world of social distancing and self-isolating that we're finding ourselves in over COVID-19, there's just one novel he continues to get questions about: "My response is, 'I'm sorry for that. But when I wrote it back in the Seventies, I just had this idea based on a chemical spill in Utah. And I went to a doctor that I knew, and I said, 'Could you give me a scenario for a pandemic that wipes out 98% of the Earth's population?' And his eyes lit up. I mean, they love that sort of apocalyptic 'what if' scenario."
