"Anyone who pays attention to mainstream media, especially these days,
has experienced “scaremongering”—but what about “caremongering”? Even as
I write this article my spelling software suggests that I change
caremongering into scaremongering—because there has never been such a word.
Well that’s no longer the case, since Toronto residents Mita Hans and
Valentina Harper set up the first of what now totals 35 Facebook
“Caremongering” groups to help out people in Canada during the
coronavirus epidemic in Halifax, Ottawa, Ontario, and Annapolis County,
Nova Scotia.
People are joining the groups to either ask for help or offer
help—particularly to people most susceptible to or most at-risk of the
more serious symptoms of COVID-19.
Between the 30,000 caremongers of the 35 groups, a “Candemic” attitude
has served to reinforce the image of the Canadian kindness."
