Those negatives or false positives were the result of a test kit, (a chemical kit) that is known to be fritzy depending..
PCR is a dead on accurate test, however there are about 20 versions of it.
I can only assume, rightly or wrongly that they are using the right but shortest time consuming test.
It charts a dna profile. The disease is well understood to not change more than about 20% or less of it’s dna that it picks up from every infected. So, unlike the flu, which can vary widely, you can use a quickie PCR and get a valid result of the ebola signature.
Thank you.
So maybe I have been overreacting.
And the most recent strains of ebola are known to be the same in that regard? I had read that this ebola outbreak showed different patterns than past strains.
Also, if these non-ebola cases are malaria instead, how long before the mosquitos carry malaria here? You can’t quarantine mosquitos.
