one day our hen went from lethargic and standing with droopy comb to no activity, droopy and pale comb, neither eating or drinking. Virus?

How old is she?
When was her last egg?
Is her crop emptying?
Any lice/mites or worms?
What's your weather like - heat exhaustion?

I wouldn't jump to virus automatically.
If she's not drinking or eating, then you'll need to work on hydration. Try holding a shallow cup up to her beak and see if she will drink on her own. If not, then syringing or tubing fluids may be necessary.
