Multiple members of the crew have been temporarily taken off active duty and sent to their quarters in attempts to quell what very well may turn into a crisis. Three bridge officers were down, leaving a skeleton crew with no relief shift.
Initial tests confirmed a viral infection in one of the crewmates, but there was no way to determine the exact nature of the infection. The results were dubious at best.
Without notice, I find myself now infected by what we can only now call a virus.

Captain's Log suplemental -
It has been three days since first symptoms, and two days since i was relieved of duties and send to quarters. My significant other has now also taken ill from this virus. Earl Grey tea, while soothing, has not been the curative i had longed for.
Increased dosages of supliments has been the course thus far. Large doses of C, D3, and Zinc, supplemented by herbal tea, sudafed, pain killers, popsicles, and Spam have all given some relief, but not the curative I seek.
After using remote communication devices we were able to requisition additional medicine from a nearby supply base. It is with hope these additional supplies will be enough to heal the ailing crewmembers.

Supplies have arrived and include a curious remedy. Long hailed by the denizens of this planet, I find myself in the position to be the first to test this concoction.
I have been assured by the supply base that the all natural Quercetin added to my existing regimen should be able to combat the virus. This, coupled with a local root of the Ashwagandha tribe used in their calming rituals, should do the trick.
I have taken my first doses and found the root to provide an almost mental soothing effect. The medicine that the locals have nicknamed 'Q' seems to create an inner heat, and has caused me to go flush.
Only time will tell if this creates an effective cure, which can then be shared with the rest of the crew.
Beam me up Snotty! Just got my 90 day supply of Quercetin from Vulcan. Adding it to my C, D and Zinc regimen.
Too bad you don't have any horses on that old barge you call a starship.
Try "Oil of Oregano" (not oregano oil, it must be imported from Italy but beware as there's tons of fakes so take heed). OoO is known to be an antibacterial, antiviral, can be used as a topical and has been around since the Phoenicians, who used this for many ailments with success...pre-Pharm industry.
Personally, I've used it since 1999 (after hearing a radio show w/ author of "The Cure Is In the Cupboard" where I learned OoO was effective for allergies- something I attained/suffered from a few yrs earlier- and it literally changed my life, completely halting the symptoms, haven't had an attack since, well, '99. Also haven't battled any significant illnesses during this time other than a few minor colds (prior, my school aged kids would bring home strep throat, flu's etc). I believe in this cheap, natural herb and its healing qualities so much that I've touted it for over 20 yrs now, as a firsthand witness.
Oh, read an article recently on its effectiveness for cv19 (or flu lol) as a preventative/ remedy to accelerate healing.
Try this miraculous, natural herb...cheap, zero side effects and your breath smells great for 5 mins.
Good Luck, Patriot
Yep, requires a little research but the legit vendors will clearly state if indeed the oregano oil is IMPORTED and farmed from Italy... Otherwise, move on as it's most likely a fraud using deceptive/misleading terms such as "official oregano oil" and why I stated it must be "Oil OF Oregano."
Also, use discretion when reading "positive" reviews (of any product) on sites such as Amazon, etc as it's widely known that many are fraudulent, agenda driven, posted by paid shills to promo a particular product.
Where the heck is McCoy when you need him? Is he taking a shuttle again because he's too chicken to beam up?
Jim, I'm just an old country doctor. I can't perform miracles!
Dammit, Bones. What if the Klingons get wind of this? We'll be defenseless!
Jim, I think it's time for a Vulcan mindmeld
No good, Bones. We can't social distance and you never know where a Vulcan's hands have been.
Damn this plague!
Chekov "Captain... The Klingons are all over our ass!
Send Ensign Biden to the stern -- his butt's been wiped.
We'll have to use the Uranus Maneuver... Star Fleet text book strategy against the Klingons!
What is ashwagandha? Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is an herb used in Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India.Its root has a horsey smell (in Sanskrit, ashva means "horse" and gandha means "smell") and is said to confer the strength and virility of a horse. Various parts of the plant are used, but the most common in supplements is an extract of its roots.
