This is a very expensive test, and it will be negative in every single person that does not show symptoms. This would be a colossal waste of money. It's what's referred to as a "confirmatory" test. What we want/need/would be what you're describing would be a good "screening" test. There is currently no good screening test for Ebola. There are several in the works, and at least one by the US Navy that will be faster but likely less sensitive.
/end thread.
Thanks for the definitive answer.
