CDC Refuses to Identify Where Previous Ebola Tests Originated
Breitbart ^ | 8/6/2014 | John Sexton

Posted on 08/06/2014 10:22:04 AM PDT by mojito

Tuesday evening the CDC confirmed to Breitbart News that six individuals in the United States had been tested for Ebola. Those tests came back negative, but the CDC would not identify the states where they originated.

[....]

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...."

As seen at Drudge.

Do I get one guess as to where these other sources originated?

All I need is one.

Why the hell would they even think to keep that information secret?
Don’t we pay their salaries?

You’re on a need to know basis, and you don’t need to know.
We will tell you when your life is screwed, and until then go mindlessly about your business and pay no attention to the bleeding ebola patient next door.

Errr, Ebola is a Cat A biological weapon per the CDC. Once it’s detected in the US there are national security protocols and procedures which kick in, some of which address managing public information. FEMA gets involved too.

Check the CDC website for yourself.

Read the document at

http://www.bt.cdc.gov/planning/responseguide.asp

http://www.bt.cdc.gov/planning/pdf/cdcresponseguide.pdf

It’s all in there. Once a case is confirmed everything is managed.

If you're testing for Ebola on the southern border, that means that you think Ebola could enter the US from the southern border. And that would mean that the southern border crisis would morph from a huge fiasco and political poison for the president and democrats, to being a catastrophe and political suicide for the dems.

So the CDC, knowing on which side their bureaucratic bread is buttered, has decided to play cute and coy.

I have seen reports of testing being done in New York, New Jersey and Columbus.

That’s it so far.

I read that early tests can read negative and later tests could be positive.

The fact they are being cagey with information on this bothers me. Several of the doctors that have/had Ebola first gave false negatives bit several days later tested positive. This is something we must stay on top of. Hiding information is a really bad idea. Hospitals, doctor’s offices, urgent care centers and local and state governments all need to be made aware of this disease, it’s symptoms and what to do in case of infections. People panic much less when they are educated.

“Hiding information is a really bad idea.”

The cover up is worse than the crime. Many people already do not trust the government, so concealing information we add to this distrust. If people feel like they can’t trust the government’s evaluation regarding the level of concern due, they will be left to their own conclusions and could lead to more extreme than necessary reaction from the public.

If there are any cases,the news (I predict) won't come out until after the Africa summit (which is over today). Is the gala tonight?

Don’t forget, the DOD has vaccines for Ebola. There are mysterious vaccine centers accross the country - one in downtown Boston.

There’s too many mouths working at Hospitals. I believe the locations will leak out. pardon my pun.

Nurses, Housekeepers, Aides, there’s too many people to keep n outbreak quiet. Unless the Elboans are being treated in a secret location.???

Glad to see that Breitbart is staying on top of this story.

Nobody else is.
