1% of America is over 3 million people. Is that the price you are willing to pay to save Wall Street?
Just stup! False Dichotomy!

False Dichotomy

This fallacy has a few other names: “black-and-white fallacy,” “either-or fallacy,” “false dichotomy,” and “bifurcation fallacy.”
This line of reasoning fails by limiting the options to two when there are in fact more options to choose from.
The false dichotomy fallacy errs by oversimplifying the range of options.

Routine screenings are down according to that study. But delaying a 5 year follow-up test or even an annual screening isn't the same as a heart attack or stroke victim not getting care.

The consequences could last years, he said.”

Doctors worry the coronavirus is keeping patients away from US hospitals as ER visits drop: 'Heart attacks don't stop'

People who need chemotherapy, surgeries, other medical procedures? We just supposed to ignore all of that to try to get the covid death rate to 0%? When’s enough enough?
