I think the patients themselves are giving consent to the hospital to release the information.

Glad I am sticking with local news since they seem to have a better grasp on this then the cable networks.

I think reporting the person's temperature at the time of the 911 call is pretty much a matter of public record.
If you notice, once the Dallas nurses were actually admitted as patients, no real details of their conditions aside from the standard "critical" "fair" "good" were released.

Most of the information they're giving doesn't do a single thing to make us safer anyway. I wish the media would just stop!
Of course ebola is a serious challenge, but when all is said and done because of this hysteria, we're going to have wasted millions of dollars as well as thousands of healthcare professionals' hours doing things we didn't need to do. The dollars and hours could well have been spent elsewhere.
I was so happy to hear my own doctor's reassurance (and scorn for the hype) when I was in his office yesterday. One of the treatments we did was a flu shot. My county requires the doctor to report to them that he administered my flu shot. I never would have known that had he not told me! Where is the media on flu? Right. They'll hype that after the first 5,000 have died this winter! Shame, shame.

I imagine that's the case.
His fiancée's name and the name of his friends who are in quarantine haven't been released. They probably haven't given permission.
