I think the point of these hamfisted rules, intentionally or not, is to push responsibility for the spread of the virus onto the public and provide scapegoats to point to when it continues to spread. Or else people would start to blame lack of government preparation and action. Where I live we have had more citations issued in the past two weeks than new virus cases, about three times more. At a certain point, it is not even the gov being heavy handed - unclear rules just take the shackles off petty authoritarian cops.
