Have state "governors" issued flags at half staff?

 

Anon covertly travels to next town to commandeer food in exchange for cash in PA. Noticed many places had flags at half staff. Initially thought it was a former LEO. Looked up details and turns out PA Herr Reichsmarschall Governor decreed flags at half staff from April 7 till the pandemic is adverted.

 

Anons town is small but they properly fly the Stars and Stropes full staff (and removed the state flag for the duration).

 

Seems an abuse of authority and disrepectful to decree an indefinite period of flag at half staff memorial.

Governor Tom Wolf ordered commonwealth flags on all commonwealth facilities, public buildings and grounds fly at half-staff until further notice to honor the victims of the 2019 novel coronavirus pandemic.

 

“Too many Pennsylvanians have lost their lives to COVID-19, and, unfortunately, many more will die,” said Gov. Wolf. “Already we have lost friends, parents, grandparents, and siblings. We have lost first responders. We have lost community members. Each of these Pennsylvanians is irreplaceable. Each deserves to be honored individually for their contributions to our commonwealth, but this cruel disease will not give us a respite to mourn.

 

“This virus prevents us from honoring the dead at traditional gatherings. We cannot have funerals, wakes, or sit shiva. I hope this flag lowering provides some solace to the grieving families and friends. And, I hope it serves as a reminder of the reason for the sacrifices Pennsylvanians are making to help their community survive this crisis.”

 

Commonwealth flags should be lowered to half-staff until a date to be announced after the pandemic passes. All Pennsylvanians are invited to participate in this tribute.
