The experience of the ongoing pandemic gives rise to a variety of questions, touching - among others - upon its biological aspects. Among the most often raised issues is why the situation has deteriorated to such a degree in the Mediterranean basin and the American eastern seaboard. This work identifies possible links between the protein folding process and the aforementioned epidemic. Given the circumstances, it should be regarded as a popular science article.
