Could have been an administrator that fields these calls.

Probably. But how much did they get paid to leak the info?

0, that's not a leak that just press asking how many people are expected to come to the hospital. Those are general answers they give. Depending on the scope of what is going on they will say basic things to the press.

They're generally not supposed to tell the press that info outside of an official announcement

What if the administrator, who handles the press releases and makes those judgements, is also a nurse.

If news outlets had to pay for the number of injuries in a mass casualty event, every media outlet would be broke by now.
