With the end of the PHEIC phase, a series of predictions have been made trying to forecast the current as well as future pandemics.

Regardless of the means used to make those predictions, there's a key metric that correlates with the emergence of large outbreaks. Stationary points in the Schwabe or solar cycle cluster many of the different large outbreaks.

Looking at other cycles with different duration points towards the bubonic plague and other prominent outbreaks.

There could be many reasons for such a correlation. One possibility is that low solar radiation also implies low UV radiation.

Low levels of UV radiation could increase the overall virus concentrations in the environment. As UV radiation is used to kill/inactivate viruses.

Adaptations to solar radiation can also be found inside the SARS Cov2 genome. The genome changes its size over time, reaching a minimum at a season with large sunshine duration and large UV radiation.
