Undesired events take place within social spaces endowed with different resources,political situations and histories. This basic rule is even truer when anevent is on a world-wide scale, as in the case of Covid-19. In this framework,«social distancing» is likely to produce different responses due to local features.In addition, under the umbrella of the central State, local authoritieshave degrees of freedom that are used to perform according to the personalaspirations of political leaders. This short paper is based on the dynamics thatone of these local leaders, the mayor of Messina (Sicily, Italy), sets in motion.The mayor in question gets to compete with the central state, and establishes arule that interferes with the indications of the central state; the irresponsibilityof this conduct generates a steady reaction by a group of citizens. This paperthus reflects on the secondary (political) effects of the pandemic, the emotionalresponse and the political tactics of a spontaneous grass-root movement thatdevelops through the Internet in a regime of «social distancing».
