Denmark doesn't plan to reallow outdoor dining until April 21. In France, where it's been banned since October, we don't even know when this will happen. Yet outdoor dining is perfectly safe, I cannot stress enough how irrational our response has been.https://www.thelocal.dk/20210323/in-detail-which-coronavirus-restrictions-does-denmark-plan-to-lift-and-when-will-they-be-lifted/ …

It's actually quite rational so long as you understand the real objectives.

I don't think they have any hidden agenda, I think they're just clueless.

I wouldn't say hidden. I think they want to keep most of the economy open while being able to point to the very strict measures they took if people blame them for excessive deaths. In other words, it's just about "optics" as they say.

I think if you assume this to be their goal, everything makes total sense.

I don't think it's the whole explanation, though I agree it's a large part of it, but nevertheless I would say there is still a clear sense in which our response was totally irrational.

There's a lot of senses in which the response was irrational but the response was done to maximize the amount of bureaucratic good feels. What makes bureaucrats who make these policies feel like they really did good? That's what gets done.
