Yeah, the CDC said they have developed tests and will soon start sharing them with major cities and foreign governments.
I hope the tests are easily reproducible.

In this day and age I would hope a hospital lab could take a picture of the isolated virus, or photos of blood work etc. and send it to the CDC immediately electronically to expedite things. -Tom

I don’t think it’s that easy to get a photo of an isolated virus . And it’s probably also likely that blood work doesn’t have a visual tell to it that is specific to this virus.

My guess is the test is chemical and responds to matching a dna segment.

But I like the way you think. Would be nice if we could get there.
