Nadia Bartel steps out in Melbourne amid coronavirus pandemic

She recently split with her husband, former AFL star Jimmy Bartel.

And on Friday, Nadia Bartel appeared to be in good spirits as she stepped out to go to a cafe with some friends in Melbourne.

The 34-year-old showed off her trim figure in a pair of tiny denim shorts and a midriff top.

The former WAG sported a blazer over the top of the skimpy ensemble and wore high heels for added stylish.

Nadia appeared unbothered by the coronavirus outbreak as she gingerly sipped a cup of coffee with her three friends at the cafe.

Earlier this week, the socialite shared a viral meme showing a passage of a book which appeared to predict coronavirus.

Last Sunday, the 34-year-old posted the page to Instagram, captioning it: ‘This was written 40 years ago. Freaky!’

The page reads: ‘In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments.

‘Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it has arrived, attack again 10 years later, and then disappear completely.’

The passage is from late psychic Sylvia Brown’s book, End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies about the End of the World, published 12 years ago, in 2008.

However, the meme the former WAG shared actually incorrectly names the book as Dean Koontz’s The Eyes of Darkness, published in 1981.

Many have shared the meme – the bizarre claims, which have taken social media by storm, were shared by reality star Kim Kardashian, 39, who posted a book excerpt to Twitter before copying it to her Instagram.

Theorists have been drawing attention to her description of a ‘pneumonia-like illness’ that attacks the ‘lungs and bronchial tubes’ and claimed it matches that of the respiratory illness today.

However, fact-checking website Snopes.com pointed out that the SARS virus had occurred a few years before Sylvia Brown’ published the book and might have inspired the passage.

Sylvia Browne was best known in her lifetime for writing more than 40 books and was a frequent guest on talk shows, during which she would do psychic readings with guests or callers.
