Quenir coronavirus pandemic

The Quenir coronavirus pandemic, also known as the Quenir N-CoV-3 pandemic and the Quenir SARS-CoV-3 pandemic, is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 3, referred to its provisional name as Quenir-nCoV-3 and has also been called multi-species coronavirus Quenir (msCoV-Quenir). It was first detected in the supercontinental planet and former urban world of Quenir III (located within NSC territory) on Sagittarius 21, Eon-U 4SB2,144, after cases of civilians, tourists and law enforcement personnel became infected with pneumonia of undisclosed origins but similar to the SARS-nCoV-2 disease; lockdown was initiated after other cities in Quenir III and other worlds in the Quenir star system failed to contain the spread of the outbreak but failed and spread throughout the NSC and Void using Gateways and residential fleets. The Void Coalition Office for Health Affairs immediately declared the outbreak a Public Health Crisis of International Concern on Dhanus 29 and a pandemic on Makara 13, Eon-U 4SB2,144. On 4SB2,145, numerous variants of the coronavirus emerged and/or become dominant in many countries. The most virulent of these variants were the Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Gamma variants, while the developing virulent were the Omega, Psi, and Sigma variants.
The Quenir coronavirus is similar to the SARS-nCoV-2 that occur in the International Union of Armanya, with the only difference being the former being more deadlier and more potent in mutations that created the variants themselves. Recommended preventive measures were the same, but the nature of the Quenir coronavirus means that martial law and curfews were in place and new medications and vaccines have to be made in order to combat the transmission of it and its variants. Vaccines made in the previous coronavirus pandemic were also being made to immunize those infected early with the Quenir coronavirus before mutations saw these vaccines failing in immunizing those with any of the variants, leading to modifications of vaccines. Similar to the SARS-nCoV-2 pandemic the Quenir coronavirus pandemic caused social and economic disruptions, repeating the previous pandemic's largest economic depression. Widespread supply shortages exacerbated by panic buying, agricultural disruptions and food shortages also helped it. Temporary decreases in emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases on several certain worlds also occur. Misinformation circulated through media, political tensions exacerbated, and issues of racial and geographical discrimination, health equity, wealth inequality and the balance between individual rights and public health imperatives were also raised.
However, these served to cause an even greater economic depression as the Novayan Stellar Commonwealth, the dominant hegemonic hyperpower and one of several superpowers in the Void, experience a deterioration and downward spiral of its economy that also affected trade partners major or minor, big or small; this was due to the fact Quenir III, which served as the capital world of the Quenir star system, is located within NSC territory. Among those affected were the Saiyanese Stellar Federation, the New Roman Empire, the Eastern Caliphate, the Interstellar Duchy of Piacenza, and several others but the most affected were member-states of the Unity Pact, of which the NSC headed. Also as a result of the downward spiral, the NSC government is forced to spend monetary reserves on the military, law enforcement, education and healthcare to help contain the spread of the Quenir coronavirus. Attempts to develop vaccines for the Quenir coronavirus were only partially or half successful as some of the variants deviated to mutate into more deadlier and more virulent strains. Other nations follow suit, while some isolated themselves and imposed contain/kill-on-sight missions should anyone infected or not appear over their worlds. Residential fleets also suffer the worst as their residents and passengers suffer from the original or mutated strains of the virus.
It was only two hundred years later that the pandemic saw drastic changes, such as the Cult of the Loop and other religious and magical/thaumaturgical groups becoming more involved in developing vaccines for the virus, but one major change that affect the Void is the appearance of the Travelers, or the Travelers of the Void. The Travelers were once a large group of students, soldiers, convicts, law enforcement officers, engineers, scientists, thaumaturges, magicians and religious figures who were all stuck in a barren world with only a few habitats. Alongside a few corporate personnel, politicians and several civilians they pooled their resources to construct a few ships that would eventually allow them to leave the planet. In turn, however, their induction of scientific, magical and religious groups, stranded military personnel, and ships that would form a cohesive organization which would later become the Travelers of the Void. Taking over a science station they eventually learned how the Quenir coronavirus is capable of mutating into various, diverse strains of variable lethality, effects and severity each year. Recruiting and training large numbers of people with military, scientific, religious, political, occult, civilian/social, and/or engineering backgrounds, they processed and catalogued information on the various strains that would allow them to develop and imbue vaccines with thaumaturgic power, which would later be called thaumoshots or thaumovaccines, which they provided on a series of tests to see how effective they were and how much modifications they would have to make. Planetary governments received these thaumoshots and oversaw their production as the Travelers spread out to gather those willing to make a change for the better and willing to put an end to the virus.
The thaumoshots were sent to various clinics and hospitals through various local government agencies and companies, and the results helped reduce the spread of the Quenir virus as well as purging the living bodies of said virus. With this success, the Travelers were granted several parcels of land and orbital stations to allow for the construction of hospitals, laboratories and manufacturing plants to take in several patients, produce vaccines as well as variants of said vaccines and thaumoshots, and continue research on the Quenir coronavirus' mutations and origins. It took five years but the Travelers were able to present their findings to several nations, allowing them to help combat the pandemic. Under the guidance of the ever-growing Travelers the nations of the Void began a thousand-years international campaign of eradicating every single vestige of the Quenir coronavirus and all of its mutations; Zalnastius, one of the defector-gods, wholeheartedly backed the Travelers' efforts. The damages done to the many disparate nations were reversed, though the Travelers produced samples of various variants of new vaccines and thaumoshots as well as instructions on how to make them highly effective or modify them should any of the vaccines and thaumoshots were found to be faulty and needed modifications. The campaign against the Quenir pandemic have drastically reduced the number of infected to 758 quadrillion; hotbeds of the coronavirus saw the massed deployment of thaumoshot and vaccine aerosol and rituals to help purge the virus as well as curing and immunizing the infected. Rituals and aerosol deployments also took place throughout various worlds.
Normalcy have begun to return and the international economy returning to pre-pandemic levels albeit a much slower pace. However while everyone is able to get through the chaos of the pandemic many were traumatized by it, and the traumatized will take centuries for the trauma to go away or a year for them to face their traumas; even then they still remember the experience that haunted them. Reconstruction and restoration efforts, under the International Recovery Plan, were commenced to help restore the various national economies to pre-pandemic levels. The recovery programs were halted due to the outbreak of war between the NSC and SSF.
Six thousand and fifteen years later, the COVID-14/15 pandemic occur on Earth and despite panic from civilians, government officials, military leaders, scientists and religious leaders traumatized by the Quenir coronavirus pandemic, Grand Marshal Borealis Norsoutha III, Prime Minister Wilhelm Brandt, and various members of the federal government and military refused to impose mandatory vaccinations and instead went for voluntary vaccinations, meaning people will be given the choice on whether to vaccinate or not. The Commonwealth of Japan under Prime Minister Wakano Tokugawa also follows this idea. The Travelers of the Void were invited to combat anti-vaccination sentiments and fact-checking false facts, with their patron god only known as "Rasputin", a defector-god who specialize in health and disease, confirming the Travelers' truths, condemning those who think mandatory vaccinations will unify the local and national communities, and anomalously lash out at those who refuse to change mandatory vaccinations into optional vaccinations by inflicting them with numerous kinds of diseases for one day before said diseases dissipate just to make them feel what is like to experience the wrath of Rasputin.
