Stay indoors, away from people, and you’ll slow the coronavirus pandemic and save many lives. Italian politicians have been trumpeting that message throughout the COVID-19 crisis that has killed thousands in their country, but many people still aren’t getting the message.
So some of those mayors are shouting it more loudly. A spliced-together video showing six political leaders angrily railing against quarantine breakers in Italy has gone viral, with more than five million views on Twitter since it was first posted on Sunday.
The supercut shows the mayors ranting about ignorant citizens who are putting others’ lives at risk and threatening to use their powers to keep people indoors.
