I mentioned this the other day, but they’re using rapid field tests in Africa to identify victims. I have a hard time believing we don’t have those here.

Those field tests apparently have a high rate of false negatives. They’re probably waiting on something more definitive.

The rapid field tests are unreliable. The reliable tests take several days to get results. Or that is what I read yesterday via some news story in which the person quoted seemed to be knowledgeable.

National Guard units in all 50 states received the Ebola field test kits on April 8th, 2014.
