Aside from the fact Voyager should be focusing on getting home, I don't understand how throwing a bomb at the holo deck would solve their problems if the viruses breed at a rapid rate AND grow. It's also interesting how none of them grew to get any bigger than the average size.
This episode had a good premise and foundation to be a great story but they ruined it by filling it with so many holes. The ending was also horrible and no one addressed the fact that the alien vessel that attacked Voyager "purified" the colony that was infected which they both instantly forgot because "happy ending" by throwing a anti agent bomb in the holo deck. Also why do the macroviruses make a buzzing noise? It would have been far more conceivable if couple of parasitic based organism took residence in Voyager.
