It's in the interest of the public to keep people healthy, so canceling large events or ones that draw a crowd is probably smart to do. There's always next year!

Virus needs new hosts. Don't give the virus that opportunity.

Better safe then sorry

Sam Ackerman

Then why do you leave home at all?

Brian Klein

Safety first!

Katie Graber

I think we have a responsibility to the immunocompromised and elderly around us to do what we can to prevent the spread.

Sam Ackerman

Then they can stay home.

Kelly McDiffett

Public safety is essential

Heidi Owen

Yes, should close the border too.

Doug Watt

for good health and to protect the vulnerable, better safe than sorry.

LisaRae Hilton

Only because when there are big events people neglect to keep up their hygiene, washing hands and are in close proximity to one another causing it to spread more quickly.

Sounds like common sense right????

If people are concerned over COVID-19, they can choose to stay home from or avoid an event. The entire event should not be canceled over a virus that's killed less people than the flu this year. Show Less

Let people make their own decisions.

Trump overrides all even dictators with their politicized science myth. Public health officials rubber stamp but don't go on field. All cases & TRO will be overturned. 1st amendment. abuse of power

Depends on where you live, i.e., Italy or China. So far, it hasn't arrived here in Bend, tho it probably will eventually. Until it does, I think events, especially outdoor ones, are probably safe.

Sam Ackerman

This is all over blown by to much media hype. Now I'm off to buy TP.

People need to be smart...do NOT touch your face after you have been in public...use hand washing/or hand sanitizer when you cannot wash...people need to stay home if they are ill

Jim Partridge

The sky is not falling people. If you want to stay home, fine. But don't impose your irrational fears on the rest of us.

Austin Wills

How do you feel about this question a month later? The U.S is leading the world in the total number of infections/mortality rate and you have the nerve to say this. Educate yourself.

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

Delaney Gates

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

SunnySunshinestein

Get it done, it's way past time.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Alma and Bruce Miller

I agree with commissioner Patti Adair - there are other alternatives.

Robert 'Lew' Lewandowski

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
