The add just cuts out a few words, but the meaning is the same. Meh, I think snopes got it right: Quote What's True During a Feb. 28, 2020, campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump likened the Democrats' criticism of his administration's response to the new coronavirus outbreak to their efforts to impeach him, saying "this is their new hoax." During the speech he also seemed to downplay the severity of the outbreak, comparing it to the common flu. What's False Despite creating some confusion with his remarks, Trump did not call the coronavirus itself a hoax. Quote In context, Trump did not say in the passage above that the virus itself was a hoax. He instead said that Democrats’ criticism of his administration’s response to it was a hoax. He muddied the waters a few minutes later, however, by comparing the number of coronavirus fatalities in the U.S. (none, at that point in time) to the number of fatalities during an average flu season, and accusing the press of being in “hysteria mode” They labeled it a ‘mixture’ rather than ‘true’ or ‘false’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I don’t think this particular instance of lying supports the specific claim that Trump called the *virus itself* a hoax. You might have a case that he was using intentionally vague ‘dog whistle’ wording, though, that he knew the less attentive members of his base would translate into unfounded conspiracy theories.

But he can also phrase it as he strongly urges all states to enact a stay at home order. This at least gives the Republican governors the cover of not entirely making the decision themselves, but following Donald’s lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Ontario is going to show their entire "stark" projection in a few hours, the first Canadian government to do so. It's expected that true deaths will be higher than reported, and they will say that lock downs will need to continue through the summer.

CitizenVectron Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Quote The estimate appeared to be a rushed affair, said Marc Lipsitch, a leading epidemiologist and director of Harvard University’s Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics. “They contacted us, I think, on a Tuesday a week ago, and asked for answers and feedback by Thursday, basically 24 hours,” he said. “My initial response was we can’t do it that fast. But we ended up providing them some numbers responding to very specific scenarios.” Basically, don't trust the death estimate Trump is putting out.

AbsolutSurgen Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Canada’s food supply at risk as pandemic tightens borders to farm workers Quote The coronavirus pandemic is making it difficult for farmers to bring in temporary workers to plant crops on time, a problem that threatens Canada’s food supply. Time is of the essence. Spring is here – seeds need to be planted, orchard trees pruned and thinned, fields prepped for the season, equipment fixed and irrigation systems set up. Each year, tens of thousands of workers do the jobs many Canadians have traditionally avoided. Though legally allowed to enter Canada, the majority have not yet arrived. Without labour soon, yields could fall, affecting Canada’s food supply. …. Unemployment has surged in Canada, and the sector is looking at hiring locally. This, too, brings challenges as inexperienced workers require training, many can’t operate heavy equipment and, in the past, attrition rates among Canadian workers have been high. Still, in B.C., “we are appealing to local unemployed people to check the Job Bank [the federal government’s job board], particularly during harvest,” said Glen Lucas, general manager at the BC Fruit Growers’ Association, which is also working with the restaurant and hospitality industry “to get the word out." Europe is having similar issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
