"Just like previous variants, omicron is hospitalizing people, and it is killing people."

Okay but then the title is completely misleading, because it says “worldwide”. So you could say that the title is misinformation.

yeah, title is not appropriate, if not misleading, it’s definitely incomplete

@uthredii@lemmy.ml could you please change the post title to remove “worldwide”, and mention that its about the United States?

@AgreeableLandscape@lemmy.ml Maybe the community could have a rule that the title must accurately reflect the content of the article?

I would prefer not to change the title because:

  1. It does include comments from WHO that are not specific to the US:

    The World Health Organization on Thursday pushed back against the consistent chatter that the ultra-transmissible omicron coronavirus is “mild,” noting that the variant is causing a “tsunami of cases” that is “overwhelming health systems around the world.”

  2. The post title is the same as the article title.

I’ll make a post soon asking for feedback on how “world news” should be defined, extending that old thread we had on that.
