I don’t agree with that at all. They are reading public reaction to their rules and suggestions with the understanding that an angry, spiteful public will make it far more difficult to impose or suggest any health restrictions moving forward.
It’s an understanding that you can only disrupt public life so substantially for so long before the pushback makes people cut off their nose to spite their face, especially in todays political climate where people seem to value freedom over quality of life in many aspects.
Although I don’t believe that necessarily makes it politically motivated. It’s an important look at the psychology of making things most effective.
