I'll go out on a limb right now, and say this is not going to stay the same, that we should expect a rapid turnaround from the minima, and while getting there, expect major CME activity. This guess is based on some oddball ideas, as usual, but the flares will be off our angle as we travel about the Sun, and its rotation will bring the newly respotted surface around to our position every 27 1/4 or so days (the Carrington rotation rate of the Sun). I'm tossing this ping to the Catastrophism list, and also the Usual Suspects.

NASA? Not the most trustworthy group.... still it’s possible. Even that group can get it right sometimes.
