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

@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.
