An alert prediction made by this Vedic astrology writer as early as last year 2020 on 16 May, closely a year past, covering COVID-19 plus worrisome security and economic concerns in vulnerable countries across world for the period April-May 2021, appears to be getting meaningful these days in April 2021.
(1). This Vedic astrology writer had contributed an alert prediction as early as last year 2020 on 16 May, closely a year past, covering COVID-19 plus security and economic worries for vulnerable countries of world for April-May 2021, appears to be getting meaningful these days in April 2021. This was flashed to some in India also at that stage of time.
(2). The predictive alert for more care and appropriate strategy was published on the same day, that is, 16 May 2020, at astralis.it/kumar06.htm, with the title as follows:-
“ When is the world coming out from the dreadful grip of COVID-19? W.H.O. Chief said on 21 April 2020: the worst is not yet over”.
(3). The most important part of the predictive alert in the context of ongoing times is reproduced here for readers:-
“ One more alert prediction here for exercising more care and appropriate strategy. A period of nearly one and a half month from mid-April to 31 May in 2021, particularly last 11 days of May 2021 would call for more alertness and appropriate strategy. In the absence of alertness and appropriate strategy, COVID-19 can re-emerge with greater strength and mischief in vulnerable parts of the world. The planetary impact appears to be prone to suggest another reading covering mid-April to May in the coming year 2021 – full-fledged war somewhere, could be something most dreaded WW3 besides crisis in economy, trade and food sectors”.
(4). By ‘ covering mid-April to May in the coming year 2021’, the period covered must be taken from 15 April to 31 May in 2021, already specified in the predictive article referred to here. As regards prediction about COVID-19, world including India is going through the ordeal or worst-ever time since about 5 April 2021, which is continuing to be dreadful by the day. As regards war economy and trade , yes, in mid-March and after , particularly in April 2021, major worrisome concerns have begun to surface and formulate in March-April 2021 discernibly at vulnerable quarters across the world.
