I think Datu will be OK. Sure, Tanya is saying he is going to die, but what would you expect her to say? She, Saul and Victor are the only ones that know about the super slow turn. Her public position is that they were not infected. If the heat gets really hot on Datu, will she let others know about her and Saul?
A few chapters back we were discussin the fracture of the Dunbar /Colony alliance. That may still happen. Now, we have another fissure, infected vs non infected. How does that play out? Michael may lose his soldiers and be forced to work with Victor. Jut how many Cylons, I mean slow turners are out there? There will be finger pointing and a desire to test everyone. How does that further fracture everything? It is really not paranoia if it "turns" out people ARE out to get you.
Last, Let's assume that this blood test is much more rare than a blood glucose test? How many tests does Tanya have left? TEOTWAWKI is all about dwindling resources. This test may very well have a limited number of doses, like the high end antibiotics that Saul got in Seaon 2. Or, like Riley discussed in Season one, expiration dates on the food. Do people trust the results given from a test that is past the expiration date? In a court of law, they would be inadmissible, but what about the court of public opinion? Seems to me that even though it is a science fact based test, charismatic leadership will be the deciding factor.
