Tomato Chlorosis Virus? (Pics)

Hello.

I am posting this question here and over in the regular tomato growing forum.

The leaves on my German Johnson tomato plant started curling a little bit about a week or so ago. Nothing real bad. We've been dry and I've been a little stingy on the water so I shrugged it off.

Yesterday plant looked pretty much the same. Went out there this morning and the leaves towards the top looked like this:

Tried to ID what's going on with my plant via a google search. I did come up with possible Tomato Chlorosis Virus. I know it's spread by the white fly and possibly by some other fly.

Is the plant a gonner? Do I need to get it out of there to prevent the others from getting infected. Is it possible that the problem is some other kind of disease?

All of my other 12 tomato plants still look very healthy. I'd appreciate suggestions!

I had the same problem with my two Aunt Ruby German Greens. I called it a virus as well.

A virus, if that is what it is, that all my research said spread from plant to plant no less.

I yanked them both and burned them.

*sigh*
