"Any infringement on a constitutional right is subject to strict scrutiny. The measure must be reasonably aimed at achieving the ultimate over-riding public good, which means it must be reasonable.

"For instance allowing socially distanced outdoor recreation, except for a certain set of arbitrarily chosen activities that offend the sensitivities of the Michigan governor or the global warming crowd are not resting a rational basis. Fishing in the middle of a lake is not more prone to spreading a virus than jogging in the park."

Fair point. But I think the folks marching around with "LIBERATE <state name>" signs are making a broader claim.

I have strong arguments with two groups:

Those who argue that there is nothing to mitigate against because this is nothing, and the my constitutional rights - you can't do anything. And as a subgroup of the first - the idiotic unfounded we already have herd immunity crowd

Want to argue that an idiotic set of measures is unreasonable? Go for it. I am all in and right behind you.
