What sunspots are whispering about covid-19?

TL;DR

This paper explores the potential influence of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields on biological processes and their possible connection to Covid-19, emphasizing the need for further research in this controversial area.

Contribution

It highlights the importance of studying ELF electromagnetic fields' biological effects and their potential role in the biosphere's regulation related to Covid-19.

Findings

ELF electromagnetic fields may have antimicrobial effects.

The literature on ELF effects is controversial.

Understanding ELF's role could aid in Covid-19 response.

Abstract

Several studies point to the antimicrobial effects of ELF electromagnetic fields. Such fields have accompanied life from the very beginning, and it is possible that they played a significant role in its emergence and evolution. However, the literature on the biological effects of ELF electromagnetic fields is controversial, and we still lack an understanding of the complex mechanisms that make such effects, observed in many experiments, possible. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown how fragile we are in the face of powerful processes operating in the biosphere. We believe that understanding the role of ELF electromagnetic fields in regulating the biosphere is important in our fight against Covid-19, and research in this direction should be intensified.
