I believe that method of argument is called reductio ad absurdum. Rarely a good way of supporting one's position as it ignores nuance and subtlety.
We can't begrudge people for needing to make a living. Are some people going to act irresponsibly, yep, sure, always going to happen. But the majority of Americans can not afford to stay in a complete lock down.
