I live in the tri-state area and NOBODY was calling it that, from the start. Two subway trains had a problem, which led to some power outages.I get NYC radio stations, T.V. stations, and the N.Y. Post. I know what was being reported, sans crazy tinfoil hat crap.
And for all we know it was a dispersal with a longer incubation period.
Why not brainstorm this as we used to here and just see what comes up?
Well the NYT has an article about it and it all started with a power outage. That
outage caused a domino effect on trains across the NYC Metro area.

The power failure occurred at 7:30 a.m. at the Seventh Avenue station, at 53rd Street.
Because it knocked out the station’s signal system, most of the trains that stop there, on
the B, D and E lines, had to be rerouted to other lines. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said the
power loss had resulted from a Con Ed equipment failure.
Any train that was not rerouted had to be manually directed through the station, a particularly
time-consuming process, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which
operates the subways. Because the system’s lines are so intertwined, a ripple effect
was almost inevitable. A spokeswoman for the authority likened it to cars being diverted
from a highway to local streets. Gridlock ensued as other subway stations dealt with
the resulting overflow.

Makes no sense.
