I don't think it's a flu-like virus. Flu's a respiratory illness, this is strictly GI. And I could see crews infecting themselves over and over until the virus works its way through everyone. What's the incubation period for this virus, anyway, anyone know?

All I can tell you is that a doctor told one of my co-workers he had the same thing that they were getting on the ships.
