If I were leading a right wing government which desperately wanted to save capitalism at any cost by sending everyone back to work, but realisesld it would be politically impossible to do so openly (because of the associated death toll), what would I do...

Well, I could think of worse strategies than communicating a new set of distancing rules so badly that lockdown collapsed, then when a second death spike starts, I could blame it on individual non-compliance.

This would be a particularly attractive option if I had a really compliant media class who I knew would subject me to zero scruntiny and basically communicate whatever line I wanted.

This is obviously not to say that any actual government is pursuing this as a conspiratorially-organised and deliberate strategy. But if I was a minister who wanted to speed up reopening I could imagine this train of thought acting as an incentive to muddy the waters.
