Which countries? The article only mentions the United States. Is this something like the "World Series"? Doesnt belong on !worldnews@lemmy.ml in my opinion.

doesn't worldwide just mean news from countries all over the world (including the us), doesn't necessarily have to be anything specific that applies to all countries worldwide, no?

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

agreed

@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:

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

It doesnt mention any specific country besides the US where health systems are currently overwhelmed (and i havent heard about that anywhere else). And i dont think we should keep the original title if it is clearly misleading like in this case.

I'm sorry but I still disagree.

The article is quoting the world health organisation which is a global organisation. WHO is looking at data from the whole world, not just the US.

Then you should link an article which talks about the whole world. The title doesnt reflect the content of the article at all.

It also says "W[orld]H[ealth]O[rganisation] warns" - seems OK imo.
