What "real" fake news looks like (not parody sites)

From bogus, yet sometimes hilarious, and outrageous stuff aggregated at https://pandemic.news/ .... Is this genre really any different from the tabloids of old? Or is there more political bias, exploitive and nefarious intent to this online species? Maybe even contributions from foreign enemies slipping through?

COVID HUMILIATION: Service industry workers in Maine now have to wear DOG CONES because of coronavirus
https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-08-20-s...virus.html

INTRO: Janet Mills, the trans-looking governor of Maine, is demanding new protocols for service industry workers throughout the state that now require them to wear dog cones around their necks while handling food at restaurants. If a server decides that he or she does not want to wear a face muzzle due to heat exhaustion and oxygen deprivation, then he or she will now be forced to slap on an inverted face shield, just like animals that have recently been spayed or neutered.

“It is acceptable for kitchen staff to wear face shields in lieu of masks when the kitchen or weather is warm,” the guidelines explain. “Front-of-house staff may wear a face shield in lieu of a face covering only if the shield is designed to be worn inverted, attaching below the face (e.g. as a collar) and open at the top of the shield, with the shield extending above the eyes and laterally to the ears.”

The guidelines go on to explain that other types of face shields, including those that are “open at the bottom, directing breath downward, are not acceptable replacements for face coverings for front-of-house staff.”

This latest humiliation ritual is of course being blamed on the “threat” of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), for which there are a mere handful of “cases” in the states – about 36 total – and no deaths. “They can borrow the ones my dogs used when they got fixed,” wrote one Twitter user, jokingly yet soberly. “This is a crime.” (MORE - details) ....

Is it a conspiracy or fake news? The quote about "only if the shield is designed to be worn inverted, attaching below the face (e.g. as a collar) and open at the top of the shield, with the shield extending above the eyes and laterally to the ears" comes directly from the Maine .gov website: https://www.maine.gov/decd/checklists/restaurants
