Whistleblower alleges Valley Med nurses sickened with coronavirus while management stayed quiet

[link:https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/04/10/whistleblower-alleges-valley-med-nurses-sickened-with-coronavirus-while-management-stayed-quiet/|

Santa Clara County is investigating nurses’ complaints that the county-run Valley Medical Center failed to notify them about a deadly coronavirus outbreak among the hospital’s staff.

The allegations, first reported by the Los Angeles Times Friday, came to light this week in a whistleblower complaint that claims four nurses, including two managers, in the same unit tested positive for coronavirus after another hospital employee died last month suffering from COVID-19 symptoms. The employee who died was a frequent visitor to the second-floor unit and may have become infected during a trip to Las Vegas in mid-March.

Standard repuke MO. If it's true & inconvenient, ignore it. But keep $$$$ flowing into your account at all costs.

I hope those families & workers sue & win big!!!
