”Kinks” strikes me as an unfortunate choice of words to describe the potential fallout from a premature reopening.
If by scientists, you mean Medical doctors specializing in infectious diseases, then yes, quite a few are advocating it and have been talking about it for a couple of weeks. Of course, the whole open verses lockdown question has become incredibly political.

Kinks is a perfectly good word to describe the process of working out a new process. von Moltke's famous quote that is usually paraphrased as "No plan survives first contact with the enemy" is accurate for any task involving a lot of different people.
