Governor Murphy signed Executive Order No. 114, ordering the flag of the United States of America and the flag of New Jersey shall be flown at half-staff at all State departments, offices, agencies, and instrumentalities indefinitely, starting on Friday, April 3, 2020, in recognition and mourning of all those who have lost their lives and have been affected by COVID-19.

More evidence of the public grieving culture....
Why?
More evidence of a country full of publicity-seeking drama queens.
Because he can.
Stimulus: Soon there will be piles of flowers, Teddy bears and votive candles.
This is an attempt to wage psychological warfare. Fortunately the tactic will be mostly ineffective. People are shut-in and will not see the flags.
This is what we’ve become.
No.
I’m not going to do that.
I will fly Our Flag at FULL STAFF.
FOR THE DURATION.
Period
Lol
Dipshit. Im sorry for the losses but are we now classifying them as heroes?
Maybe we should be happy the Chinese let us keep our flags up at all.
This seems a lot like surrender.

I prefer flying the flag at half staff for real heroes. What? Are they going to start flying it for everyone that dies of the common cold? Flying the flag used to mean something . . .
This is another effort to further panic and compliance with every whim of a authoritarian governor.
Ya, cuz following the Mike Lindell recommendation of “Turn to God” would be horrible........
How about flying the flag upside down as a signal that every citizen is in a state of distress thanks to the government.
I have a counter suggestion. Fly all flags upside down.
PS, I also understand that it is not part of the official US Flag Code to fly the flag upside down.
Ridiculous. Between 20,000 and 80,000 die from from regular flu some years and no one bats an eye.
Gutless wonders.
