Did a Hindu saint predict the Coronavirus outbreak?

In the meantime, a section of netizens has started claiming that Veera Brahmendra Swamy, a Hindu saint who apparently lived in the 16th century had predicted the coronavirus outbreak. As per followers of this saint, a pandemic outbreak was predicted by Brahmendra Swamy in his book 'Kaala Gnanam'. However, in his book, he has named this disease 'Coranki'.

" Poisonous gas will emerge in the East. Lakhs of people will die. Coranki disease hits one crore people. Just like fumbling chicken, they will fall and die," wrote Brahmendra Swami.
