Team Dougthen vs. RoboVirus

In a developing story, Team Doughten has recently been attacked by a new strain of illness, known to the CDC as the Robovirus (read about it here).  This virus affects the stomach and intestines and can cause vomiting and diarrhea.  Multiple team members were hit by this contagion last week.

It all began last Thursday when Aunt Linda (aka "The Mothership") went to care for Christine and Bella, who had fallen ill to the virus earlier that day.  After some careful investigation it was determined that Bella may have been the first to come under attack.  As such, Cpl. Minker is looking into all available legal options for a possible lawsuit against the daycare provider.  In the words of Derek: "Someone has to pay...."

Unfortunately, during the Mothership's rescue mission, she was struck by a sneak attack of maternal infecting robovirus cells.  Her attempts at using deflector shields (a martha stewart washcloth) proved futile and she was grounded for the weekend.

Meanwhile, back at Christine's Fortress, the virus raged on.  It's next victim was one, Cpl. Minker, deputy Cecil County Sheriff's office.  He made cheeseburgers for dinner that night thinking it might kill the virus, but apparently it had mutated to a new,  more powerful strain that was immune to beef.

While all this was going on, the chief caring officer of the family (CCO - Little Faithie), tried to organize ground forces for a counter-attack.  This included text messages and multiple phone calls to each affected team member.  Apparently the virus had become so powerful that it was able to knock out power lines and kill cell phone transmission as no one responded to her urgent messages.

After re-establishing connection with the Father-Land (Uncle Harry) to receive orders, she was told to stand down and "take it one day at a time."  This was obviously one command the CCO had to disobey, so she went rogue in an attempt to kill the virus herself (but to no avail).

The new week also brought with it the hope of victory.  The Mothership showed herself to be too powerful and after repairs were made, she was came back better than ever.  The counter-attack included gallons of pedialite (although derek bought the kind bella doesn't like so he drank it himself).
 
As the week progressed, the Team slowly regrouped and was finally able to defeat RoboVirus.  As the final traces of RoboVirus flush down the toilet, the battle cry was: "never again!"

take that you dirty virus!
