Energy security detail contracted flu in Mexico
Flu Timeline: Secretary Chu Security detail
So what happened to the “lead security detail for Energy Secretary Chu” whi was infected with the flu?
Did he or didn’t he ever test positive? His wife and children? His nephew? His coworker?
Will his negative result (tested too late) not count him as a flu victim/carrier? How else did his family pick it up? How did he pick it up?
Last time I heard about it was at the press briefing. He was sent home on a commercial flight fully contagious. No word if he took precautions. It was early on so I doubt it.
Q Robert, any update on the advance staffer? The testing that you said he was undergoing yesterday? And the flight that he took back from Mexico City –
MR. GIBBS: I have to check on — I did not check on the flight. As I mentioned yesterday, that individual is back at work, having been cleared. I have not heard updates from Mr. Brennan on those individual tests. I don’t believe — and I’ll double-check this — I believe his testing has always come back negative, because, as I said yesterday, that virus had sort of run its course. And I would just repeat that all four have recovered and are doing well.
Q And nothing on the passengers that were on those flights?
MR. GIBBS: Not that I have, no.
