Contest: ENTER April/May Challenge: The Pandemic

[Count Zero]

The winner of the last challenge @Mistral set this as the theme for the new challenge:

OK, its April and we have some kind of virus screwing up our lives all over the globe. So, how would Star Trek deal with a pandemic?

I'd leave the theme as encompassing and broad as that, meaning that it could also be a meta-story if you wish - no essays, though.

Apart from that, no constraints regarding setting, era, length or format. Personally, I prefer new stories but if you have one that's already been posted elsewhere which fits the theme you can also enter that.

Preliminary deadline: Wednesday, May 27th, 10 pm CET

Just a reminder that the deadline is about 3 days away, just in case anyone's working on a story. Let me know in the thread if you need more time.
