Why did the CDC ignore a simple question asking about where patients who have been tested for Ebola live?
CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta reported Tuesday that half a dozen people had been tested for Ebola. It was not clear whether a patient who walked into Mount Sinai Hospital in New York Monday with "high fever and gastrointestinal problems" was one of those six or in addition to the six.
Tuesday afternoon, Breitbart News contacted the CDC with two questions. First, in which states were the six people who had been tested located? Second, had the tests come back and what were the results?
The CDC's Director of Public Affairs sent a brief response which answered the second question but sidestepped the first. "The six previous tests were all negative and sporadic in time and place. Mount Sinai test still pending testing at CDC" he wrote. From this answer it appears the pending test is the 7th so far.
The seventh patient thankfully came back negative, but why is it such a big secret where the other folks are from?
