Abstract
In late of 2019 Coronavirus pandemic started from China (Wuhan Province) and then later
spread to the world. The authors set forth a debate about the most important factors which
influenced the feast and even the consequences of COVID-19 and then the foresight of
COVID-20, which is the climate change and its related meteorological factors. Climate
change found to affect directly on virus activation and indirectly on the host behavior and
even immune response. Persons live in cold, arid and air polluted areas suffer from both
spreads of the pandemic and serious complications of the COVID19 infection, due to low
level of vitamin D, low activity of thyroid gland, with low levels of thyroid hormones
(T3,T4 and TSH) and reduction in angiotensin 2 level. Aged persons living in these
zones are the most victims from this pandemic. We conclude that persons living in the
industrialized countries zones are affected more than those under the same meteorological
circumstances in non-industrialized countries due to low air pollution.
