Two articles, same subject. One from the Australian government's national broadcaster, the ABC
[abc.net.au]

The other from a UK NHS doctor, published by the Russian governments national broadcaster, RT
[rt.com]

Both talk about how to move forward in a Covid19 world. And I put both as they are differing perspectives so hopefully more here are encouraged to source their news widely, sift through any bias and decide for yourself.

I think they both tell the same sort of story. ie Slow introduction of the virus to people who are most likely to cope with it, whilst protecting your health resources. The difference to me was the abc wants to hold off on a detailed plan but RT wants it all out in the open now. Not sure who is right but interesting read.

Russian is known for their mis-information. I’ll stick with CBC (Canada), BBC, The Hill, Reuters, and NPR

So one source from your country and another from Russia? That's your suggestion to "sift through any bias"? How about sourcing from China, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela? If you don't mind I'll stick to my own sources: BBC, Reuters, AP, WAPO and NYT.

@powder just you, cuz english news coming from the countries I mentioned, for example, are usually state propaganda.
