The fact that this has the word "Coronavirus" in the title feels like an inappropriate attention-grab here. Something truly terrible happened to a post-doc researcher. The title makes it sound like some sort of conspiracy is at play.
- happytoexplain 6y agoIf true, I'd say "a medical researcher said to be on the 'verge of making very significant' coronavirus findings" being murdered makes the headline totally appropriate. I understand that the mind leans inevitably toward the question "was the murder related", making the headline seem like it's implying an inappropriate theory, but I just don't see another way of wording the headline any more neutrally, and I think it would be ridiculous to remove a relevant description from the headline just to avoid that inevitable thought.
