Solar activity global minimum and genogeographic features of the COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

The relationship between space weather and influenza pandemics of the 19th and 21st centuries and the COVID-19 pandemic is considered. All influenza epidemics of the 19-21 centuries developed only at the extremes of solar activity, and the difference in the number of infectious diseases in Russia in the minimum and maximum of 11-year SA cycles is more than 25 million people. The COVID-19 pandemic took start at the minimums of the 11-year and quasi-secular solar cycle. Weather factors and characteristics of the population genetic composition in each country can accelerate the development of a local epidemic, as well as increase its severity and mortality rate. Mortality by country during the COVID-19 pandemic varies by more than 5-8 times. This haplogroup is characterized by the rapid development of an epidemic with low mortality and a large number of asymptomatic patients. Genetic variations explain differences in the strength of leukocyte antigens immune responses. The article investigated the DNA oxidative damage degree as a molecular predictor of exogenous disorders to expose to UV radiation and magnetic field different frequencies. The greatest number of DNA damage was observed in the age groups over 60 and under 20.
