Critics are wondering if the network vetted the story at all

CBS News issued two odd clarifications after helping spread a viral video of a nurse crying over the strain of the coronavirus pandemic.

The outlet picked up the video from the Instagram video of lifestyle blogger and nurse Imaris Vera.

Vera claimed in the alarming video that America was not prepared and said that she quit her job as a nurse because of the shortage of medical masks.

"I quit my job today," Vera said in the viral video.

"I wanted to work, and I was assigned to a COVID patient on an ICU unit that has been converted to a designated COVID unit," she explained. "None of the nurses are wearing masks. Not even surgical masks in the hallways when they're giving report to each other."

The video garnered 7.6 million views just from the CBS News tweet alone.



Many critics on social media began questioning the story, and CBS issued a clarification from Vera on Monday.

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," Vera said according to CBS News.

Inducing panic is a misdemeanor of the first degree. If violation results in harm to anyone, inducing panic is a felony of the fourth degree.

A leftard media, with an agenda is the worst kind of dangerous.. Raphael, would you rather see this country totally cleansed of all disease(including Corona, or would you rather see Trump out of office.. Like any good Libtard, worth his intense hate, I'm betting you'll say, Trump out of office... tongue
