Shannon also noted that the downstream EVAs are still to be discussed. It may be that a little more time improve the situation...

Great question about powerdown procedures. Then an 'is the condition contagious' question.
'You guys can fish all day but I won't bite.' AWESOME!! Go Shannon!

I'd feel really awkward being in a room with him asking about space sickness!

Seriously, I understand that it's the responsibility of the press to fish here, but I think the personal privacy policies inside and outside NASA and the government are fairly strict. And I believe they have changed since the STS-36 situation, which was 18 years ago this month. These are probably easy questions for Shannon to NOT answer.

What happened on STS-36? That's a mission that Mike Mullane was on. It's been a while since I read his book, but I don't recall anything specific...

Shannon is still not answering.
He shouldn't need to! The press are being really stupid - why don't they realise that if Shannon says no to one person, then he's not going to change his mind for anyone else!

Mission was delayed due to illness of the CDR.

Wondering if we have any sources in the briefing room... Now that the cameras are off I wonder if the media is continuing to poke at the medical issue..

If I recall correctly, that was discussed in the book.

Oh, was that the one they were talking about? It's been a long time and my memory is fuzzy.

The press will probably be bugging ESA for info about the medical issue, given the last few questions...

Yep. And John Shannon wins MSB Response of the Mission Award.

I didn't know Shannon could Tap-Dance but he dodged every medical question with a lively step.

Yeah; no idea what their medical disclosure laws are, but I
believe that here in the U.S. there is a legal obligation to withhold that information (particularly without consent).
I would be incredibly surprised if Mr. Schlegel is NOT asked about this by the press, assuming he takes part in any upcoming PAO event.

In the U.S. we have the law called HIPAA - it's a patient privacy protection act, I think it applies to all doctors, nurses, medical personnel, and medical facilities.

Just a couple of thoughts.
It's possible that no one is sick. Dan Tani was informed about his mother via a Private Medical Conference or something similar. I sort of doubt that's the case here because the crew called for the conference but it's possible.
It's possible Hans isn't the one with the health issue. Rather, he could be the one best suited to replace the person who is sick, and Stan Love is the best suited to replace him.
The point being that we shouldn't just assume, based on the circumstantial evidence we have, that Hans is sick. That might very well be the case, but we just don't really know at this point. Either way, the combined crew will find a way to get the job done.
