Yes, they are the ones writing the headlines. 99% of what gets published online as news is titled by someone who isn’t the author. The goal of the editor is to sell the piece to the reader, not to speak truth or accuracy.
Do you also get annoyed when something not actually cold is called cool? Or if someone doesn’t actually get to a task “in a minute”?
If literally everyone in CA was actually sick, that would have a bigger impact than late-2020 COVID. I’d prefer if language wasn’t catered to the type of person who doesn’t recognize the post title is an exaggeration to convey seriousness.

“Everyone seems to be”
It’s a figure of speech. It doesn’t actually mean everyone. It just means “a lot,” and a quarter of people surveyed is kind of a lot.
Can’t miss an opportunity to Well Acktchually. 23% really is a huge amount
23% in that week in particular, let alone the X% in the week before and after
I hate this figure of speech crap. It’s not a figure of speech, it’s lazy and wrong.
