CBS News clarified a viral video it tweeted about allegedly dangerous conditions for hospital workers amid coronavirus after the nurse’s story quickly fell apart.
The nurse, who goes by the name Imaris on social media, claimed that she was forced to quit her job after being asked to work in a novel coronavirus unit without a face mask. The video showed a woman in tears who said that America and “nurses are not being protected.”
The video went viral, with CBS News being one of the publications to push the story. Even the Daily Caller, going off initial reports, produced its own video. The video has since been stripped off Facebook and YouTube.
“In tears, a nurse says she quit her job after she was asked to work in a coronavirus ICU without a face mask,” CBS News’s original tweet on April 5 claimed.
The network clarified Imaris’s story April 6 after it was discovered that the nurse had changed her story in a tweet to Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who also shared the video. CBS News did not delete the original video or issue a retraction.

CBS News’s clarification came after the Daily Caller’s Monday report on the nurse’s viral video. The network did not respond to a request for comment, but issued a clarification later Monday after the Daily Caller’s inquiry.
“We were each assigned 1 N95 per 1 covid patient’s room but was not allowed to wear it outside of the room, wear our own N95 mask around the Nurses station or Halls, which I came prepared with,” Imaris admitted. This was different than her original story, which claimed that nurse’s were not being protected.

Imaris Vera, the nurse in this video, clarified her experience on Monday in a tweet: “We were each assigned 1 N95 per 1 covid patient’s room but was not allowed to wear it outside of the room, wear our own N95 mask around the Nurses station or Halls, which I came prepared with.”

The hospital, Northwestern Medicine, acknowledged that Imaris Vera had quit her job, but referred CBS News to Vera as to the details of why.
Fake news from CBS? I’m so surprised.
The essence of her voice speaking to this matter is true. She was hoping to make people react. She was successful so her truth was acceptable.
Even if she saved just one life....

So it turns out this video is entirely fraudulent. https://t.co/2axIrXK4LA— Jordan Schachtel (@JordanSchachtel) April 6, 2020
Is this the same network that blew up Ford trucks for a story line? Liars gonna lie.
So they clarified it as fake and let it be....nice.
That was NBC. Doesn’t matter, they are all the same.
Sounds like the hospital had an operational protocol against parading around other parts of the building in infected gear.
But CBS journ-o-lists are experts in hospital infection control procedure, no?
This is the kind of neurotic nurse that can endanger patients. She should never be allowed in a hospital again unless she’s the one on the stretcher
The scary part is that this cartoon from 1888 is still valid 132 years later! 🙄
Thanks to RayChuang88 for the above. Ray noted that the media/press hasn't changed in well over one hundred thirty two years.
The Enemedia is in Desperate need of a Giant Enema!

If the covid patient’s room is a negative pressure room wearing a mask outside the room is unnecessary.
Wearing a N95 mask for an entire 12 hour shift would cause unnecessary fatigue. It takes extra effort to breath through the mask.
I agree with the hospital management.
She quit
and fabricated her lie to keep from being seen as a coward.
