By definition, a company is allowed to make a decision iff it is lawful.

Come on. 5% is an absurdly pessimistic and long debunked number. It wasn't even that bad in the beginning when hospitals killed almost as many people as they saved. Young people rarely get hospitalized so that part is nonsense too. Eve
