Good point, the title of the article is: "Influenza lineage extinction during the COVID-19 pandemic?", I don't know how the HN headline came to be ("This influenza lineage may have become extinct"), but it does seem like a very very light form of clickbait.

It's a quote from the abstract. I found "influenza lineage extinction" difficult to parse, but the abstract expands it into clear English.

>"In particular, the B/Yamagata lineage has not been isolated from April 2020 to August 2021, suggesting that this influenza lineage may have become extinct,"
