Ok this is pretty new to me

I'm at work and can't. I have taken photos but I spent all my time home yesterday juggling stuff, doing water changes collecting dead fish treating water cleaning filters, setting heaters. I'll put up some photos.
I'll put up photos but it seems to have no outward regularity one specimen has velvet the next has ich the next has fin rot the other will have a open sore then one won't have anything at all. They all die.
So if you where fighting a phantom disease like me with perfectly clean tanks and healthy specimens what kinda blanket treatment would you use?
I'm flippin out I used my defacto treatment for all parasites and fungus and it didn't work(water change, raise temp, quick cure, freshwater aquarium salt daily) I'm at a loss. This is just so aggressive.

I'm not working properly but instead just watching this thread and reading wiki entries. Odds are I have a viral or advanced bacterial infection without a cure. Well, #$%&
EDIT: should I just nuke the tanks burn the fish bleach the glass throw out the rocks? I've actually heard of some of these types of bacteria and viruses that you can only run from not actually treat.

Chill out. Since I don't have much to go off of, other than "the fish look like they have every disease", try some Flubenzadol.
IMO:
1. A picture is worth a thousand words
2. Even though a test strip is not "old", they can still be very inaccurate. I would follow Piscine's advice and get a liquid test kit - you might be surprised.
3. As far as a blanket treatment, I would probably start with the Maracyn line -- but again, hard to diagnose w/out pics.
Question: What you believe to be the typhoid Mary fish, did it die? If so, how long after you had it did it die and what infection did it appear to succumb to?
