Local authorities in Indonesia ordered eight people who broke the country’s face mask laws to dig graves for COVID-19 victims, according to a report.

The province of East Java punished the mask violators with the manual labor at a local cemetery in hopes of deterring others from disregarding the nationwide face-covering mandate, the Jakarta Post reported.

“There are only three available gravediggers at the moment, so I thought I might as well put these people to work with them,” politician Suyono told local media, according to the paper.

it's a hoax should have to visit overworked morgues. I'm a product of the 'scared straight' generation, a reference to the films of brutal car accidents we saw in driver's ed classes.

It brings to my mind the "Locals Enter Camp" episode of Band of Brothers (NSFW and holocaust imagery trigger warning).
