Canada migrant farmers 'at risk from coronavirus'

Working conditions for migrant workers in Canada are placing them at risk from coronavirus, an advocacy group warns.
"While millionaire corporations are being bailed out, migrant worker — the ones that actually grow food— are in crisis,” the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change says.
The report said that in Ontario province alone, at least two migrant workers had died with the virus and there were 280 cases. It also said workers were told to work in groups while waiting for test results, and that they were being housed in cramped quarters.
Many migrants had the start of their work season delayed because of coronavirus restrictions. Once they did arrive, the new rules forced them to quarantine.
During their quarantine, the report found they were underpaid, underfed and not given good health information. The report was based on calls with 180 workers who were speaking on behalf of 1,162 workers, mostly from the Caribbean.

What would you do if 2020 restarted?

Kerry Allen - BBC Monitoring, Chinese Media Analyst
The pandemic has had many of us wishing we could turn back the clock and start the year all over again. And that’s what more than a million social media users in China were discussing on Tuesday: what they would do differently, if that was an option?
A whopping 1.8 million users of the popular Sina Weibo platform have used the hashtag #WhatWouldYouDoIf2020Restarted.
Many have said the pandemic has made them realise things they had taken for granted. One netizen said they would “have a picture taken with my whole family, because this epidemic has made me understand that my family’s health is the most important thing”.
Some say they would be "more humble", and regret leaving jobs just before Chinese New Year – a common trend around this period. Others are simply reflecting on how they wish they’d “appreciated others” better. “I wish I’d been a better person,” says one.
