Did Nostradamus predict Covid 19 ?

This is the actual Quatrain(Century 2, q.65)
The sloping park great calamity
To be done through Hesperia and Insubria:
The fire in the ship, plague and captivity,
Mercury in Sagittarius Saturn will fade.

Probable meaning:
The Sloping Park might be the sloping hills that exist in Wuhan city China
Hesperia and Insubria mean the 'West' and 'Lombardy'
The fire in the Ship is a metaphor for Trade going Bad
Plague is the Virus, and Captivity is the Isolation
Mercury did enter Sagitarius around 26 of January 2020, not sure about Saturn fading but it might mean Saturn becoming Dimmer??

The English Translation might be interpreted with variations , but as far as I can tell it's very accurate to a more archaic French from 16th Century.

With that kind of license you can make it mean whatever you want.

@JoePourMan Can you give me an example of another meaning to the quatrain ?

JoePourMan · 61-69, M

@Messi you could apply it to the Spanish flu, the black plague, or any other world calamity

Messi

@JoePourMan But this quatrain gives description of the sloping hills in Wuhan city, Isolation which never happened in 1918 flu, Lombardy is named exactly, and Mercury enteres the constellation of Sagitarius. None of them point to the Spainish flu ?

@Messi you changed sloping park to sloping hills, and then arbitrarily assigned it to mean Wuhan. That is a reach beyond a reach. But hey believe anything you want

Messi

@JoePourMan I changed nothing, it's an interpretation with specific indicators. You can't match this quatrain to any other moment in history specifically as you said. Give me an example of another.

@Messi no thanks it's your to believe and mine to dismss.

@JoePourMan I never said I believed in it, It was a question. I just gave the french-English Interpretation
