I hear what health officials have been saying and it's definitely worrisome that I could either get it or carry/spread it.

Watching out for myself and family, as not sure most people out there are NOT!

Jodi Dwyer

Everyone should take heed and social distance. Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst. Many thanks to all essential business for supporting the community in this time of need.

YES! I'm very worried. I don't go anywhere but walking my dogs and don't get close to anyone, but we have to buy groceries, and with more spread, it makes such simple chores that much more risky.

Kelli Pilling

It exists, whether or not we want to believe it

Jon Hall

Because my entire family falls into the danger catagory and fir some reason kate brown deemed fast food "essential" so i have to keep working exposing myself to 100s of peolple a day

No, not so worried.

I really am not that anxious about all this. I feel I'm taking the necessary precautions and will be okay. I think my family will be okay too.

No. Herd immunity is a GOOD thing. Interesting to note that it's the Dem govs that are displaying their authoritarianism in the name of "safety" through all of this, not Pres Trump.

Joyce Hamlin-cutler

They biggest problem is the unreasonable panic that the constant barrage of 24-7 news coverage is causing. Information is important, but I wonder what the news will cover when this is over.

Ben Ehrenstrom

I think it’s smart to take precautions, but I think it unwise to destroy the economy over it. I do believe it is worse than the flu, although it mostly dangerous to those who are already compromised.

Lori Nielsen

Like all things this to will pass

mike stevenson

I'm over 60 so I'm at higher risk. With that I'm more at risk of death by a vehicle crash...I use common sense wash my hands often, keep my distance from people I don't know...lets don't panic

No I have faith in Christ

I'm not prepping in the normal sense. But I am being aware of what I have and what I need and only going shopping when I need certain items.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
