Here, we see our State and National flags outside the Town Offices yesterday. They’re at half-mast in honor of Covid-19 victims, per order of Maine Governor Janet Mills. Our veterans’ (MIA/POW) flag on the right has been lowered accordingly.
The National flag at our Post Office also is at half-mast, per order of President Joseph Biden for all federal sites.
The latest published State data report that 43,900 Mainers have contracted the virus and, of these, 677 died of it. The latest Federal data report that 28,065,327 people in the United States have contracted the virus and, of these, 501,181 have died of it.
Please mask-up in public and follow the other virus-protection guidelines. It doesn’t get more important than this. (Brooklin, Maine)
