Here's an example of the Media scaremongering/clickbait:
Covid: First people in UK hospitals with Omicron variant
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59627188
Great headline isn't it, rather eye catching if I may say so.
However, once on the page itself, the only mention of it - on a rather large page of writing - is this:
Quote:

The first people in the UK are in hospital with Omicron infections, Nadhim Zahawi has said.
|
and halfway down the page:
Quote:

It is not clear if those people who are in hospital with Omicron are there because of the virus or for other reasons.

Nothing else . . no details of where, how many, how serious, age, ethnicity, background illnesses . . nothing, nada, zilch.
The rest of the article is simply repeating what we've already been told over the past week.
I can't think of any reason for that headline with no follow up, not at all.
