YES but I threw them away a long time ago, these mandates were all wrong from the beginning! Horrible communistic, socialist injustice! Long term mask wearing weakens your immune system. The shutdowns hurt Us far worse than the virus itself! I never got it! My 84 year old mother did but NO symptoms!

The only reason I wore one was to keep my friends and neighbors from having their businesses shut down.

Oregon had some of the best stats for covid because of the mask mandate and it's not over yet. People will screw it up.

After I go into a place that has them for you when you walk in, I just put them back into the box that I got them out of for the next person.

Never! As we have learned, pandemics are easier to start now, So I will definitely keep the many masks I have.... cloth, blue hospital, duck-face... all of them!!

We may need them again. Also, it is smart to wear them in the flu season. Look at how much less flu we had during the pandemic. Also, the mask is not the only safeguard. We were (supposedly) washing our hands more, keeping a safe distance from others and staying away from others while sick.

Good masks are still recommend, just not required in most situations. I work in healthcare and we are still required. Why take unnecessary chances? Do you drive at night with your lights off?

I'm keeping the good ones for dust masks, if nothing else. The cloth ones I've already discarded.

No Based on the fact that Brown has proven she can't be trusted about dropping mask mandates. I expect her to reinstate it just to get her name back in the news. I hope I am wrong.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
