Abstract

In 2019, a severe acute respiratory disease with coupled multiple organ pathologies, namely, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), emerged. The lungs and other organs in this disease exhibit glass-like (hyaline) tissue pathologies with iron oxide deposits, which mimics rock-related mineralization. The impact of significant geological and geophysical perturbations on aberrant mineralization in living organisms has not been explored. Many Indigenous Knowledge systems posit that unseen forces emitted by orogenic structures and modulated by geophysical dynamics play a significant role in health. Here, it is proposed that carbon dioxide-rich water-lithospheric ferromagnesian silicates interactions generate aberrant lithospheric long-wavelength magnetic anomalies (LWMA) via serpentinization, during geologic periods with polar ice melt-induced hydrosphere redistribution, increased atmospheric carbon dioxide, and weakened geomagnetic field intensity. Here, it is also proposed that COVID-19 in humans (and animals) is a pathogenic manifestation of aberrant LWMA-induced magnetic catalysis of silicate/carbonate-like-iron oxides minerals from tissues (carbon-based molecules), gases (dioxygen and carbon dioxide) and metals (iron, magnesium, silicon), and coronavirus from the genome (endogenous viruses), with the virus capable of replication and limited transmission. These COVID-19-LWMAs are generated in tectonic plates with degraded Proterozoic bedrocks and are linked to the refertilization of iron oxides-silicate/carbonate rocks. Thus, severe COVID-19 outbreaks are/will predominately occur on the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates and governed by the diurnal, semiannual (equinoctial maxima, solstitial minima) and quasi-biannual oscillations of the geomagnetic magnetic field intensity (analogous to a vibrating drum head). Furthermore, abnormally high ferromagnetic iron content in humans is the unifying determinant for COVID-19-induced morbidity and mortality.
