Mayors of various Italian towns and cities have recorded videos where they lambast citizens for violating the nationwide quarantine. "Getting in mobile hairdressers? What the f**k is that for? Do you understand that the casket will be closed! Who the f**k is supposed to even see you with your hair all done in the casket?" one mayor thundered in an angry rant.
Another politician didn’t hide his frustration, saying:
"Where the f**k are you all going? You and your dogs… which must have an inflamed prostate?"
The compilation of recorded statements has gone viral, with some social media users expressing dismay at Italians for not obeying the authorities’ orders.
Other users praised the Italian mayors for doing everything to protect their citizens

One user noted that quarantines have a very detrimental effect on some people.
