A Kentucky mayor resorted to profanity to get his warning on the coronavirus across to constituents.
Walton Mayor Gabe Brown posted a message of warning to residents on a Facebook group page Monday, asserting their families may die from COVID-19 if they don't practice social distancing.
“Listen up dipshits and sensible people. I might not have the best bedside manor. I might not put you at ease like the Governor does, but I don’t care. You need to realize that this is a serious ordeal. In fact, it’s a big f**cking deal. Stay at home,†Brown began his post.
"Take it seriously. It is here. Act like you have the virus and don’t spread it to other people. I have no doubt that it hasn’t already been here, but testing had been limited. More cases are coming. If you ignore this problem, the worst thing that could happen is that your mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, aunts, uncles could die. Be responsible. If you don’t, then screw you," he continued, signing off with "warmest regards."
The Facebook post has since been shared more than 2,500 times and has gained more than 3,000 positive reactions.
More than 490,000 people have tested positive for the coronavirus globally. Of those, at least 22,000 have died from it, and more than 118,000 have recovered. The United States has seen at least 69,000 confirmed cases, with more than 1,000 deaths and 619 reported recoveries.
