Ebola blood test question...(sorry for another Ebola thread)

I haven't run across the answer to these questions...
1. How quickly would ebola show up in a blood test? (ie if people thought they had been infected, yesterday, say on a plane, how long would it take for that to show up in a blood test?)
2. How long does it take to get blood test results back for ebola?
Just seems like given the over-reaction panic this is causing, it'd be a good idea to test everyone they can as soon as possible and rule them out.
Sorry for my lack of viral understanding here.

Stick a fork in it. Ebola is done. All over. Finished.
Moving on to the next crisis.

Better question is if you had ebola and a vampire sucked your blood, would the vampire get ebola and would it kill said vampire?
