Really @NorahODonnell?
You had to dig up a crisis actor from Instagram, Lol. Sad.
I asked both of my nieces who are nurse practitioners and they said
Fake News Auntie. We are masked up. pic.twitter.com/IF4J8HbEUh— Carrie ❤️ America 🇺🇸 Text Trump to 88022 (@carrieksada) April 5, 2020
This embarrassing. I hope she loses her license, provided she even has one. No nurses are being asked to work infectious disease without PPE. They’re just not.

One Twitter account accused her of lying:
Ah, got it now! The devil is in the detail! Hospital DID have PPE AND FACE MASKS! Tantrum lady here just wanted to wear her own and NOT the hospital issued ones! How does she know they were ‘inadequate’?? Other staff were happy to wear them! Attention seeker!
She responded and said that she needed to have her own mask for just in case:
Incorrect! We each were given 1 N95 per COVID pt. to reuse for each entry in the room & removing each time exiting w/no surgical or N95s worn at the nurses stations, halls etc. I had my own N95 from home I wanted to keep on 4 further protection & was told NO.

She also responded on Twitter that she stands by what she said on the famous CBS video:
Say whatever you’d like & cherry pick to create w/e rumors u like: I STAND FIRM! My experience is real just like THOUSANDS OF other HCPs & essential workers who’s lives are like a commodity instead of priority during a PANDEMIC! #PPE #letusprotectourselves https://t.co/wKJbDVQdm4

I’m a HUMAN, not a robot. I laugh, joke, and express myself like everyone else— just as I expressed myself & how BROKEN I felt for being told my OWN PPE wasn’t allowed during a PPE SHORTAGE & PANDEMIC to perform my job. This is not OKAY. PERIOD! https://t.co/ySrGaINgJw

So basically she quit her job because the hospital didn’t allow her to wear a mask from her home.
The hospital was giving the nurses proper masks, one mask per COVID patient. So you were supposed to put on the mask for that patient before you went in the room, and then leave it there when done. They were also wearing proper masks the rest of the time, but the idea seems to be they didn’t want to spread COVID on the masks by wearing the same mask in a COVID room and then other areas.
Crying nurse lady brought her own mask from home and wanted to wear it at all times for extra protection. But assuming the hospital’s reasoning is sound, this would undo their plan to prevent the spread through masks.
I’ve noticed this with some nurses, nurses aides etc. I have known, they declare all sorts of “special” medical knowledge, I don’t know if they are bitter that they aren’t doctors, or are attention hounds or what.
In the end, she admitted that she was actually given 1 N95 mask while taking care of COVID-19 patients after Senator Bernie Sanders tweeted out her story.
Thank you so much for sharing Senator. 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. HCPs absolutely deserve protection by any means. https://t.co/0bs0MZ78v2

Another tweet alleged of her lies:
CBS team meeting:
"So how long has she been there?"
"Well, boss, she showed up in AM for 1st day & quit immediately when managers didn't let her do her own thing"
"Perfect. She's an inspiration. This will get Trump, I mean, inform USA! Perfect credibility. Beacon of truth!"

Prior to CBS picking up this video, Imaris posted on her public Facebook page that she has anxiety and bi-polar depression and had not been an employee at the hospital for over a year. She mentioned in her post that she was unsure if she was ready to return to her job.
Imaris also said the growing volume of information on coronavirus “triggers” her.
“The information overload can be hard for me to sift through as far as what is credible and what is not, it triggers me,” she wrote in a Facebook post.
Hi @BernieSanders your girl wrote days before her histrionic video that she had anxiety and bi-polar depression, hadn't been working in the hospital for over a year and didn't know if she was ready to return. Maybe vet these people? Just a thought. https://t.co/0et5Y1d0ai pic.twitter.com/Z0gIu3Kbn4

Real or not the mainstream media should double-check cases like this before creating even more panic and hate between the American people.
Last week CBS aired a video of an Italian hospital that was reported as New York’s hospital.
On Wednesday morning CBS aired this footage from a New York hospital:
This video is where the original hospital footage was aired via Sky News back on March, 22nd.
Many on Twitter were furious with CBS News for its use of, what is fake news, to paint a more somber picture than needs to be.
I get tired of the 'fake news' diatribes from Tangerine Man but effin hell CBS. Let's just feed the fire. F me.😒https://t.co/DoxLU8CunI

Once you realize that the media is trying to sway opinions and not deliver the truth, the reason for BS like this is blatantly obvious.https://t.co/SlAk5DYkV3— 🇺🇸🇺🇸A. Brant2️⃣🅰️💯MAGA (@BigBrant75) March 30, 2020

As many on Twitter said, if the mainstream media want to complain about President Donald Trump calling them fake news they should stop making fake news.
