Meteo.it: weather forecasts or intensive care forecasts?
Meteo.it's (non-weather) alarm.
“ CORONAVIRUS : SICILY Out of Control, many YOUNG PEOPLE in INTENSIVE CARE. This is what is happening ”.
This is the title of an article in the news section of Meteo.it published on the afternoon of 17 August.
What is written in the newspaper article?
“The situation on the island is almost out of control. In fact, the worst contagion index is being recorded in Italy with a net increase in hospitalizations among young people, from 20 to 35 years old, even in intensive care, some of which are very serious, with serious problems with blood circulation and respiratory system ”, this is the only passage in the piece about“ Sicily out of control ”and“ many young people in intensive care ”evoked in the title.
No punctual numbers on young people in intensive care.
Obviously, that of Meteo.it is not about information but about forecasting.
In fact, the article ends like this: “Will Sicily be the new Lombardy? Let's hope not, but if these are the conditions, unfortunately, the situation in the coming weeks and months could get worse and not just a little ”.
