"People", in this case mostly the media I think, seem to just pick something random. I watch the stock market which is even worse for this. Every day you'd see "Stocks down as investors weigh COVID", followed by "Stocks up as investor COVID fears wane". Which may be true, but not alternating seemingly every single day for a while. It's like someone sees something happen, wants to write an article, and the boss says "nope, put something catchy on the title."
