Rex Tillerson's closing of the Cuban mission does not answer what caused the health problems of the employees. I am still assuming there are actually health problems.

Who is being left in the embassy, the Cuban cleaning lady? Is she immune to the health issues caused by the mysterious cause of illness?

Where are the congressional investigations into this issue since no one really knows all the facts?

Cuba is 90 miles from Key West, Florida. A huge storm ran over that area of the world recently and could have picked up the contagion that caused the symptoms closing the Cuban embassy and dropped it all over Florida. So, what caused the problems with the people in Cuba. I am assuming they are on permanent disabilitly and have doctors that can speak for them and where is the CDC on this mess

...The State Department said the embassy (click here) "will operate as an unaccompanied post, defined as a post at which no family members are permitted to reside."

The move, which goes into effect Monday, stems from late 2016 when a series of U.S. diplomats in Havana began suffering unexplained losses of hearing and the beginnings of neurological symptoms.

The statement said the department still does not have "definitive answers" on the source or cause of the attacks and that an investigation continues.

But it said the key factor in the decision to reduce the number of personnel was Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's concern for the health, safety and the well-being of U.S. government personnel and family members. 

The decision follows a toughening of U.S. policy toward Cuba under the Trump administration in a reversal of President Obama's easing of U.S. sanctions against the island-nation in an effort to improve bi-lateral ties.
