Exacrly. It's fucking clickbait of the lowest order, meant to elicit fear and nothing more.

This is the equivalent of saying "There's a gun aimed at you!", while the gun in question is being wielded by some dude in Caracas, Venezuela, who's aiming down the ground while you are sitting comfortably at your couch in London, UK. Yeah, technically the barrel of that gun points directly towards you, but that exclamation is missing some key parts, isn't it?
