Greetings. I work at Kaiser Permanente. In reviewing this page it has a significant error that merits correction. It reads that a COVID-19 outbreak "resulted in the death of 100 patients and staff," and then cites a KTVU-TV article. But that article (correctly) notes the outbreak 'sickened' 100 people. The written content in the article does not match the citation or the facts in the case.

Here's the passage in the Wikipedia article: During the COVID-19 pandemic, Kaiser San Jose was the center of a large coronavirus breakout on Christmas Day 2020, which resulted in the death of more than 100 patients and staff,[6]

Here's what the KTVU article states: SAN JOSE, Calif. - An inflatable tree costume was not the only source of the deadly outbreak on Christmas Day at Kaiser San Jose, KTVU has learned.

A Santa Clara County spokesperson said there were "multiple factors" behind the outbreak in the emergency room on Dec. 25, 2020, which killed one receptionist and sickened at least 100 patients and employees. [1]

Would an editor please consider this and correct it? I have a NNPOV and for obvious reasons should not correct it myself. Thank you for your consideration. vggolla (talk) 19:14, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
