We have to shut down. No doubt it will hurt people financially but if we dont stop the spread on covid now, we wont at all. There will be more deaths.

If more people do not want to follow the mask wearing rule, then they should not complain when businesses start to close again to prevent the spreading.

People are not being smart about protecting themselves or other people. Unfortunately, this necessitates the Governor to develop a widespread approach to reduce the infection rate. Good for her!

Yes I do. Our so called leader continues to ignore the situation, focusing on his re-election only. He is totally useless.

It's the only way to stop this. Even with this, if everyone has respect for the health of others instead of living selfishly, and wears masks it will take 2-3 more months to stop the contagion.

There are no absolutes in the 1st amendment. There are numerous Supreme Court decisions that limit 1st amendment rights. Donald Trump has declared a national emergency, so our rights may be limited.

SCIENCE! This is not an individual decision like 'should I wear a raincoat today' and it is up to me if I get wet. This virus is largely asymptomatic so protect yourself and those you love and care about (and all humans) this is not for ever- history has taught us and it is clear what we have to do

Come on people! Can we all just wear masks all the time for a few months? Countries that did so are back to normal. Meanwhile, our grandparents, parents, friends and neighbors are dying.

You won't be able to show a "smile" if you're dead! And Gov is not mandating what we do in our homes. We are in a bad state of surge, and need the restrictions! those crying about "rights" are idiots!

Headed home in Sisters yesterday. I counted 37 people hangin' out visiting-sitting closely-shoulder to shoulder on the West end of Cascade licking cones-I wondered how many were locals-if any!...Hmmm?

People should decide. Let those that want to wear a mask, do so. Let each person decide what is best for them and those they live around. Let those who are compromised, or scared, stay home.

It's just causing a problem for more people to become Enemies. Some people can barely breathe with a Mask on and it's good to show a smile! Touch Comforts people and these rules worsen mental health!

It's my life my body my choice. It's just another knock down for the people. We have the right to choose. We the people have a choice. Governor Kate Brown keeps taking our Civil Rights.

Abortion is wrong it should only be used if the mothers life is in danger or in case of rape of a minor

No, you do not have the right to risk the health of others. A mask won't help you, you're right, but it will keep you from spreading it if you are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. GET OVER YOURSELF!

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!
