Als je toch die tegenstelling scare/care wilt vertalen, kan je de tegenstelling haat/angst zaaien vs. saamhorigheid zaaien gebruiken als gelijksoortige woordspeling. Als vertaler moet je af en toe durven een nieuwe term te verzinnen :)

Definition from BBC:
scaremongering versus caremongering

Als je het woordspelige 'scare' vs 'care' wilt behouden, is vertalen geen optie meer.

'scaremongering' is redelijk bekend in het Nederlands en een grote groep Nederlanders vat het.
'caremongering' is dan misschien een optie

Acts of kindness sparked by coronavirus

The first "caremongering" group was set up by Mita Hans with the help of Valentina Harper and others. Valentina explained the meaning behind the name.
"Scaremongering is a big problem," she tells the BBC. "We wanted to switch that around and get people to connect on a positive level, to connect with each other.
"It's spread the opposite of panic in people, brought out community and camaraderie, and allowed us to tackle the needs of those who are at-risk all the time - now more than ever."

Valentina said the rapid growth of the trend was far beyond her expectations, with the Toronto group itself now having more than 9,000 members.
"We thought we'd have a couple dozen people," she said with a laugh. "It's grown to thousands.
"But the most positive thing is the local groups that have started, geared to specific neighbourhoods. It's really shown us the need that people have to have some level of reassurance and hope.
"Anxiety, isolation and lack of hope affects you. In providing this virtual community which allows people to help each other, I think it is really showing people there is still hope for humanity. We haven't lost our hope."

Breaking News English Lesson on Caremongering

A new term has emerged with the advent of the coronavirus outbreak. The word "caremongering" started trending after acts of kindness in Canada. The word comes from the less positive word "scaremongering" which is a recognised part of the English lexicon. It is not yet known whether the word "caremongering" will stay around long enough for dictionary editors to include it in future editions of their word lists. "Caremongering" arose after Canadians found new ways of helping vulnerable people during the COVID-19 virus. Social media is helping to spread the concept across Canada. Within 72 hours of the term trending, over 35 Facebook groups were set up with more than 30,000 members.

Met knoflook en vuurwerk rook tegen het virus Het hoofd van de De gezondheidsafdeling van Frankfurt, René Gottschalk, waarschuwde ondertussen voor scaremongering: “Ik ben veel banger voor de griep – vanuit het oogpunt van de gezondheidsautoriteiten – dan voor dit virus. Volgens wat we weten, is de koers in Europa zeer mild.” Tegelijkertijd zijn er toenemende geruchten en verkeerde informatie over de besmettelijke ziekte, waarover de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie ( WHO ) toonden bezorgdheid. De uitbraak van de nCoV-ziekteverwekker in 2019 ging gepaard met een ‘massale infodemiek’, een stroom van informatie, aldus de WHO. Sommige informatie is correct, maar veel niet. Mensen konden nauwelijks onderscheid maken tussen mythen en feiten. - coronaviruscovid19
“De kans dat er op korte termijn een aanslag plaatsvindt in Nederland blijft reëel. Concrete aanwijzingen voor een daadwerkelijke aanslag zijn er echter niet.” Prachtig voorbeeldje van scaremongering. (meer geld?) - Welingelichte Kringen
