"The “deepest sunspot minimum” for more than a century is about to force the Sun into partial hibernation, they say. Public health authorities have been warned to be vigilant with the phenomenon linked to historic viral pandemics. Previously unseen strains could emerge through the coming months while existing ones turn super-virulent, according to a report in Current Science.

Trump and his Fox minions are already turning themselves inside out to blame China for Covid-19. Who knew the Chinese had the time for that, what with their climate change hoax? And now, the Chinese are messing with solar activity! Very thorough, these hoaxsters.
