Please Watch These Italian Mayors Losing Their Shit Over Citizens Refusing To Quarantine
"Getting in mobile hairdressers?! What the fuck is that for? Do you understand that [your] casket will be closed?" -- badass mayor Antonio Decaro.
For two weeks, Italy has been in total lockdown in response to COVID-19 coronavirus.
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte imposed the national quarantine following Italy becoming the country with the highest number of COVID-19 cases outside of China. With almost 64,000 infected citizens, the restriction on movements beyond necessary tasks was done in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus.
However, not all Italians followed the strict quarantine rules that were set in place. So far over 92,000 people in Italy have been charged with breaking the lockdown rules — and Italian mayors have absolutely had enough.
Creating warning videos for the citizens of Italy, a number of Italian officials warned those breaking the rules with some hilariously aggressive messaging. The supercut of clips, which was uploaded by @protecttheflames on Twitter, quickly amassed over 6.2 million views in just 48 hours.
"I stopped him and said, 'Look, this isn't a movie. You are not Will Smith in I Am Legend. Go home."

“I’m getting news that some would like to throw graduation parties,” Vincenzo De Luca, resident of Campania starts the video. “We will send over the police — with flamethrowers.”
“You can’t play ping-pong,” says another who found people still roaming around the streets. “Go home and play some video games. I’m the mayor of this city. I will make you follow this decree. I don’t want excuses. You must go home.”
Lucera Mayor Antonio Decaro took a little more of a direct approach against those still getting their hair done during these dire times.
“Getting in mobile hairdressers?! What the fuck is that for?,” he shouts to camera. “Do you understand that the casket will be closed? Who the fuck is supposed to even see you with your hair all done in the casket?”
Ending out the video, Giuseppe Falcomatà, mayor of Reggio Calabria, told the story of seeing a jogger in the street to which he said: “Look, this isn’t a movie. You are not Will Smith in I am Legend. You have to go home.”
Fucking icons, honestly. Stay home.
