The link above provides information and a call to report cases of Tomato Chlorotic Spot virus. It's similar to Tomato Spotted Wilt virus.

Anyway, I'm just posting this to raise awareness, since I hadn't heard of it.

Most people would just say it's TSWV, so the diagnostic would still be essentially accurate enough. Why is it called chlorotic though? I don't see the chlorosis, at least not more than most viruses.
Last year I had a new virus that I still don't see it mentioned anywhere. Besides the typical blue stiffness and uprightness of younger growth and afterwards the complete stop of growth, it had a massive swelling of the fruit stem, also in the flower stage. If anyone knows anything, please let me know.

Is it anything like Tomato Big Bud?

I didn't, either. It looks like necrosis to me (rather than chlorosis). I have seen some chlorosis with TSWV, though.

That looks horrible. I hope it does not come to PA.
