I'm not sure you could see the stippling easily due to the forum's limitation on uploaded file resolution. I'll post a high-res copy here: Click This; you may need to zoom in on this a bit to see the problem. This probably should be studied by any orchid grower who is unfamiliar with the early appearance of TMV-O.

I bought some Agdia test strips and there is a best before date on them. So I waited until I had suspicious ones but made a point to use them up before the best before date. And I stored mine in the fridge.
I'm sorry about your gorgeous plant. I tossed several that I didn't want to part with but had my suspicions about. When they tested positive, it was the trash bin for them.
