Long shot here:
At some point in ancient times, the planet we call Venus were in the orbit as we (Earth) are now..."Earth" was in the orbit of Mars.

The rule is, if a thread title ends with a question mark the answer is most often, no.

So the papers suggesting a link between viral pandemics and solar wind activlty are just simply wrong and you know best. You know better than all theses specialised peeps.
You really are the mother of all scientists
I will call you phagestein

Direct records of sunspots and the solar cycle have been maintained in astronomical observatories for about 1610AD, while indirect records derived from 14 C analysis of ice cores go back to about 900AD. Minima in the sunspot cycle present conditions conducive to the entry of viruses and bacteria to the Earth and also for mutations of already circulating pathogens. Three grand minima of solar activity on record – the Sporer minimum (1450-1550AD), Maunder minimum (1650-1700AD) and the Dalton minimum (1800-1830) have all been marked by a preponderance of pandemics – Small Pox, English Sweats, Plague and Cholera. The sunspot numbers recorded for the present period 2002-2017 include the deepest sunspot minimum (Cycle 23-24) since records began, and a trend to declining numbers throughout the cycle. The same period has seen the resurgence of several pandemics – SARS, MERS, Zika, Ebola, Influenza A. We consider it prudent to take note of these facts whilst planning future strategies for pandemic surveillance and control.
Sunspot Cycle Minima and Pandemics: A case for vigilance at the present time
rom past records of the correlation of the sunspot cycle (prolonged minima) and pandemics it is clear that the onset of a deep minimum is a signal of action. We have stated elsewhere that the sunspot cycle could be a guide for closer scrutiny of circulating viruses, and monitoring their genetic variations. Equally important in our view is to monitor the stratosphere for the presence of viral entities that may pose a pandemic threat if and when they reach ground level.
