On: Outbreak of common colds at Antarctic base after 1...

[schoen]

(1973)

[yasp → schoen]

Would have added it but the title was too long

[prophesi → yasp]

Perhaps take out "complete" to make room for it?

[airstrike → yasp]

The (1973) is probably the most important part of the title...

[tensor → airstrike]

Why do you feel that? Being old doesn't somehow invalidate results.

[noodlenotes → tensor]

You don't see that someone might read the title and infer there's a current outbreak of Covid-19 in Antarctica? The title seems like deliberate clickbait without a year.

[yasp → noodlenotes]

Didn't make that connection but it's obvious in hindsight. sigh

[mdszy → tensor]

Nobody's saying that, the point is seeing this title is very different knowing that it's from 1973 rather than the present day.

This is Hacker News after all, it's important to know what is and isn't current events because without a date, it's kinda assumed that it is a current event.
