A m I on the verge of a Discovery? I have no idea, but right now, my thoughts are running in every direction they could at the highest speed they have ever run.

In the morning, I had no idea when I started reading my favourite book, written by Dan Brown, the Da Vinci Code. I have read this book many times, but today I decided to try it as an audiobook.

While enjoying the new way of reading, I reached a section that explains the concepts of the Fibonacci sequence concept, the divine number 5, and the golden ratio. Those who are reading and are alien to these concepts, please allow me to shed some light on it so that this reading can generate some value.

Fibonacci Sequence, Divine Number 5 & Golden Ratio: Mathematicians, scientists, and naturalists have known about the golden ratio for centuries. It’s derived from the Fibonacci sequence, named after its Italian founder, Leonardo Fibonacci (whose birth is assumed to be around 1175 A.D.).

1 In the sequence, each number is simply the sum of the two preceding numbers (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, etc.).

But this sequence is not all that important; instead, the essential part is the quotient of the adjacent number that possesses a fantastic proportion, roughly 1.618, or its inverse 0.618. This proportion is known by many names: the golden ratio, the golden mean, PHI, and the divine proportion, among others.

So, why is this number so significant?

Almost everything has dimensional properties that adhere to the ratio of 1.618, so it seems to have a fundamental function for nature's building blocks.

Don’t believe it? Take honeybees, for example. If you divide the female bees by the male bees in any given hive, you will get 1.618. Sunflowers, which have opposing spirals of seeds, have a 1.618 ratio between each rotation’s diameters. This same ratio can be seen in relationships between different components throughout nature.

Are you still having trouble believing it? Need something that’s easily measured? Try measuring from your shoulder to your fingertips, and then divide this number by the length from your elbow to your fingertips. Or try measuring from your head to your feet, and divide that by the distance from your belly button to your feet. Are the results the same? Somewhere in the area of 1.618? The golden ratio is seemingly unavoidable.

I got intrigued by the golden ratio because from Leonardo Da Vinci to Michaelangelo to Albrecht Dürer, all these great artists of the renaissance era always left some indication of this golden ratio in their notable artistic work, referred to it as divine proportion.

I took a break from my book and went back into my balcony for a smoke, and then it strikes me, what if covid is spreading in the Fibonacci sequence. A rough theory started shaping in my mind. The theory will need evidence and hypothesis to prove it. Now I am no scientist here, but a straightforward equation came to mind: what if I divide the total number of infected corona cases worldwide by the number of total corona deaths? I am reaching t0 1.618.

You will be surprised by what I found.

Statistics of Covid -19 as of date 27th of December 2020

When I am writing this article, the total number of corona infected populations worldwide is 80.4m. The total number of recovered patients from corona worldwide is 45.4m approx, and if we divide both of them, we get a golden ratio of 1.7709m, which is just 0.15m more than the golden ratio.

Is the Covid-19 infection has a pattern of Fibonacci?

Right now, the whole world is facing the second wave of the covid-19 with new stronger strain, will there be 5 covid-19 waves with the newly developed virus each time getting stronger?

Will, the ratio of the total infected to total recovered, will remain the same?

I do not know the answer to these crucial questions as I am not a scientist but a common man who noticed in one direction.

Thanks for investing your time in reading this article.
