"is a functioning CDC Biosafety Level 3 laboratory, the standard to do infectious disease research in the United States."
That's a standard to do infectious disease research ... and not the one required for Ebola, which is BSL-4; a lot of testing labs are trying for ~BLS-3 because it's cheaper and much more quickly achievable. And because researchers often work with large and/or concentrated quantity of the pathogens they're researching, vs. the much small quantities involved in just testing samples.
