He is remarking on the severity of the disease and that isn't something he should do. His comments about the President endangering the secret service is out of line for obvious reasons. In order to be a supposed danger to the secret service, the President would have to be presently infectious.
In terms of HIPAA everything is held as strictly personal. So though it can be assumed a Covid -19 patient might be infectious at some point -- a doctor should not be gossiping the precise "moment" that may be with somone who has no business knowing anything at all about a patient's private health.
Basically-- a doc can say nothing about a patient's health without permission. Especially on something like Twitter -- what a violation of privacy!
Yeah-- you're way behind the times pal. Welcome to the nIghtmare world of "Epic" where your fingers do the walkiing.
"Epic" is only one package -- there are others. I mention it because it's the most irritating one (in terms of difficulty) but one of the most expensive so probably the one a military hospital would get.
Riddle me this, why can I visit my rheumatologist and receive an order for blood work and a few weeks later visit my endocrinologist and have her comment on the results of the test the other doctor ordered? Why it's the magic of computers!!!
And these two docs are at different hospitals that have a loose affiliation!
So if you think the doc with the Twitter addiction can't tippy tap his digits and pull up records you're mistaken. He'd just need basic info that floats around when "famous" people are in the house.

Yah. Buddy, Thats a stretch. Especially if he isn’t his particular doctor, and doesn’t access his medical data.
