Q: Why is bad temp reading of returning Ebola nurse not subject to HIPAA? @PogoWasRight
@PogoWasRight The border exception equivalent to a laptop search? Public temp readings? @DanielSolove

@emptywheel#HIPAA does have some exemptions, but they're spelled out. They *may* disclose to public health. Not to media if no consent. -
@PogoWasRight Yeah, initial stories were anonymous, so that may be the thing. Still, her actual temperature was normal. -
@emptywheel Just because public *wants* to know or thinks they#need* to know doesn't mean they *get* to know w/out consent.#HIPAA
