Default VIRUS?!

I picked this Cym up last May off the raffle table at our society. Nobody else wanted her cuz she is literally as big as a horse. She did well all summer, and after I came back from my week long cycling ride all her new growth had black streaking (only on the new growth). That was mid August. The lighting hadn't changed at all and she had been out since I brought her home. As soon as the black spotting was noticed she was moved into isolation (far end of the porch). Since then the spotting has increased, which at first looked like sunburn but now its begining to have some worrysome virus like patterns. The green leaves are also showing some bloching. Its a huge disappointment seeing as how there are now 5 flower buds popping up from this years growth. More than likely I'll flower her out upstairs with the african violets and toss her in the compost afterwards unless anyone can talk me out of the idea that its a virus.
