A tweet from June 11, 2022, posted by user @iamasoothsayer, which stated, "2023: Corona ended … 2026: Hantavirus," gained significant attention in May 2026 following a hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship that resulted in three deaths. Social media users discovered and shared the authentic tweet, initially posted on what was then known as Twitter, with some labeling it a prediction. While the tweet is confirmed to have been posted in 2022, health officials have stated the shipboard outbreak poses no greater epidemic risk as hantavirus does not spread easily person-to-person. The account behind the tweet had minimal activity and its bio, describing the user as a future-reader, may have been updated post-hoc, suggesting the timing of the post may be a coincidence rather than a genuine prediction.
