According to a new report, the U.S. military has created a COVID-19 test capable of identifying the disease in patients before they show symptoms or become contagious.
According to The Guardian, resources that were being deployed to studying germ and chemical warfare have been used by the U.S. military’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to produce a test that can identify the presence of COVID-19 in the blood.
As opposed to current testing methods, which include the invasive use of a nasal swab that is prone to human error and that can produce false negatives, the DARPA test could identify a person’s blood response to the virus and can help in mitigating its spread, rather than simply diagnosing it.
The new test can also diagnose COVID-19 in a patient in as little as 24 hours.
Current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates put the virus incubation period between two and 14 days, while current testing cannot detect the virus until several days after infection.
Dr. Brad Ringeisen, the head of the DARPA biological technologies office, told The Guardian the test would be a “game changer” with regard to helping the international scientific community track cases of COVID-19.
“The concept fills a diagnostic gap worldwide,” he said.
Ringeisen added that the test is awaiting emergency FDA approval.
The capability of having such an early COVID-19 test could help isolate sick or asymptotic carriers of the disease before they infect others, and could also more quickly rule out the presence of the disease among people with only suspected cases.

“I’m running against Ilhan Omar. I’m humbled the GOP endorsed me by receiving 90% of the vote,” Johnson said in a tweet Saturday as he shared the video.
“I will win the primary and look forward to defeating Ilhan in Nov. 2020.”

Johnson is one of several Republicans in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District vying to take on Omar, a first-term lawmaker who has rocketed to the national scene for her membership in “the squad” of far-left lawmakers, her sharp criticisms of Trump, and ongoing accusations that she married her brother to circumvent immigration laws.

A successful African-American businessman who has lived in North Minneapolis for more than four decades, Johnson believes he can unseat Omar despite the district’s deep blue lean.
The lifelong Minnesota resident is relying on his deep ties to the district, fiscal conservatism and a push to close the achievement gap for students of color, according to the Star Tribune.
“We all know if you put an ‘R’ in front of anyone’s name in this district, it’s tough,” Johnson said about the uphill climb for this election. “I could be running against Popeye and if Popeye had a ‘D’ behind his name, I’m in trouble.”
As a Black Republican running for Congress, I face repeated attacks from the left. They won’t stop until they silence my voice. Unfortunately for them, I never back down. When I am in Congress, I will also never back down from defending the values of the people of #MN05! — Lacy Johnson (@LacyJohnsonMN) April 30, 2020
But first he must emerge victorious in the election’s crowded GOP primary, which includes former White House correspondent Dalia Al-Aqidi.
Trump’s endorsement of Johnson will likely give him strong momentum as he heads into the congressional primary elections, set to take place on Aug. 11.
The winner will then take on Omar in the general election on Nov. 3.

“ Judged by the position of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ easy for anyone to just put their finger into the vagina unless their is some cooperation from the female herself .

The tweet was savaged online.
New Hampshire Dem Rep Richard Komi says a man can only penetrate a woman’s vagina with “cooperation from the woman.” Wow. The Dems are REALLY bad at this. pic.twitter.com/TVEyAljBYI — Sara Gonzales (@SaraGonzalesTX) May 2, 2020
So now it’s the Vagina’s fault not the man? Richard Komi is a 3rd rate pile of human dung for basically calling ALL WOMEN willing parties in their rape & sexual abuse – not just #TaraReade Reprehensible to deny abuse based on position of VAGINAS! Victim blaming at its worst? pic.twitter.com/YuiK8Zx4Na — Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu (@SholaMos1) May 2, 2020
I didn’t think a person could be that stupid but boy was I wrong! — Jerry Cox (@Jercommm) May 2, 2020
The tweet led to New Hampshire House Speaker Steve Shurtleff demanding Komi’s resignation, according to Fox News.
“I am appalled by Representative Komi’s comments. They were dismissive and hurtful to survivors of sexual assault across the Granite State and across the country,” Shurtleff said in a statement. “The comments are not fitting for the New Hampshire House of Representatives and immediately upon learning of them I called him and asked Representative Komi to resign his seat.”
Komi then resigned and apologized.
“I also want to offer my sincere apologies to anybody whose feelings may have been hurt by the tweets. I am and will continue to be a supporter of victims of sexual and domestic assault,” the representative said in his letter of resignation.
“The tweets were very poorly worded and do not reflect who I am and what I stand for. I ask for the forgiveness of all who have been a victim of sexual or any other kind of assault,” he wrote.
While many on social media welcomed his resignation, some declined to accept his apology.
Former NH Rep Richard Komi’s tweet is the definition of rape culture. He was right to resign, but we do not accept his apology. Blaming a woman for her rape is an old trope. Many still believe this. His words were harmful and put women in danger.#IBelieveTaraReade pic.twitter.com/7yrGKq6j3R — Prof Zenkus (@anthonyzenkus) May 2, 2020
Good riddance to New Hampshire Rep. Richard Komi who apparently feels that women who have been raped are complicit due to vaginal geography. His assinine comment says more about the gross political misogyny network at work than it does about the accusations against @JoeBiden. 1/ pic.twitter.com/joF8VNDF5d — Tracey O’Neill MNMJ (@TraceyC_online) May 3, 2020
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway last week suggested that liberals who say they support women should now act out those words.
“You’re not pro-woman because you’re pro-abortion. You’re pro-woman if you say, ‘I believe all women and I’ll be here for them,'” she said, according to Fox News.
“I’m going to continue to repeat what I heard from many people right left and center but particularly left of the political spectrum over the last few years, and they’re three magic words. Believe all women,” Conway said.
“We’ve got a lot to dig into, but most of all, ‘believe all women’ and saying to women, ‘We don’t want to silence or stigmatize you, you should come forward if you’ve got something to say,’ that has to be consistent here,” she said. “We can’t just lose sight of that because the person who’s being accused of these allegations … is a quote powerful man who women are telling us he’s for women because he’s for abortion.
“If you’re for women, prove it, and let’s hear from her.”
