It's inevitable that COVID-19 will keep spreading once we return to normal.

I have not heard that we have sufficient testing and contact tracing resources. We only have 24 ICU beds at St. Charles Bend. Tourists will bring in the virus from other parts of Oregon.

Larry Langdon

common sense!!!!!

Tracy Thompson

Those who aren’t haven’t been educating themselves about Covid-19. People will come, cases will increase and we will be in worse shape then we started. If lucky enough to survive you are not the same.

k san

Yes, it inevitably will spike when we start congregating again. No way to avoid it unless and until the virus is completly eradicated...which will take much more time than is being considered.

Ann Kerr

Because it's so contagious.

Janet Rawlings

It’s too soon!

Brad Livsey

SHEAR GOVERNMENTAL GOOFBALL IGNORANCE!!! We haven't dealt with this killer long enough to make this decision yet. We'll now see a harrowing reflection on just how UGLY this mutant virus WILL GET!!!

Victoria Martin Come'

Too fast, too soon could cause a second and worse spread.

As i typically practice universal precautions every day of the year, and rarely get sick, I will proceed in the same manner. If people are compromised, they should never go out. Never.

Christena

More testing is going to show more results. Our death rate for positive tests is 2% We're pretty good.

Jane

Take precautions. Obey rules. Invent new ways if enjoying life. Life goes on.

If we do it safely, I feel like we’ll be okay. For once in my life, i miss school!

Dave Voiles

More and more experts are saying this whole thing is a "nothing burger" as far as flu's go. Children rarely get it. Adults have no problem unless underlying conditions. Move on.

DeBacker Melis

Virus and death is guaranteed in life, you just got to be smart...

Pam W

Not enough to worry about in Rural Oregon.

Sussie Due

I am not going to let fear run my life. I never did from the beginning and I still wont. This virus will be around just like all the other viruses. Its not going to just go away. Best to accept that.

Kara Surface

I'm an essential worker. I do not know of any essential worker in central oregon that have the virus.

Joyce Hamlin-cutler

It will happen, but if reasonable cautions are used it should minor.

Robert Northrup

I do not believe it will end until everyone is exposed or there is a vaccine. It could mutate and become more deadly like the Spanish flu so personally I would rather be infected and get it over with.

Michael Miller

Not too worried as long as we use some sense in opening back up. However the right-wing nitwits who are protesting are not helping matters any.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Ka San

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
