Not for covid per se but I will wear a mask if I have to fly and feel sick, sneezing, coughing. I can't say how many times I've contracted an illness after sitting next to a snotty, coughing, sneezing human on an airline trip.

Covid is declining (at the moment!) because enough people have taken precautions but we still have to be smart. Wearing a mask is pretty easy compared to being paralyzed and intubated.

Absolutely! I will probably wear it in all indoor public areas. There are still so many people that refuse to protect themselves and others by refusing to get the vaccine. Over 50 deaths in just one day like today? Another variant out there? I'm not risking my life or anyone else's, it's staying on.

I know from my work as a care provider in a hospital that the virus is still being transmitted. Until the positivity rate of SARS-Covd-2 remains at 5% and less, I will continue to take precautions to protect myself and my community.

I would prefer to keep wearing the mask there's a new virus all the time I really feel that some numbers are fudged. Just because so many voters and I do mean voters and not the people that count you know like CDC have complained to the government about they want normalcy . (PART 1 OF 2)

(PART 2OF4)) And it just takes a moment to put a mask on yes I agree it should be your choice. And what is next? voters again and I do mean voters are going to start complaining to the government again about how people are still wearing mask the ones that choose to.

Probably so. Just depends on the situation. Like crowded spaces, I might still wear one.

With Omicron, why would I? If I get Omicron, it will provide me antibodies / t-cell response that could save me if there is ever a dangerous variant. ONLY reason I would ever wear a mask is if I had to be around an extremely immunocompromized person... that should have always been the standard.

No more. Just because they are lifting the mandate doesn't mean it's permanently gone. They worked too hard to get that much control to let it go.

My Doctor told me from the beginning not to wear one but I was forced into it. Even with the letter from our Doctor. My sister was forced into it too and now her heart condition is worse. This was proven by the Doctor. We will NEVER wear one again after this is over

Masks don't work! We've all seen people in stores pulling down thier masks to wipe thier nose or rub thier eyes then touch everything on the shelf. Look at infection rates throughout the mask mandates. If masks worked why would so many be infected? Just common sense.

Absolutely NOT! We need to use our immune system, long term masking harms our immune system, we need to live with it period! This whole thing has been a control freak show! I live by faith NOT fear!

I haven't worn a mask since the first mask mandate was lifted. They do nothing to stop the spread so people are only wearing them out of fear. It's an irrational fear making it a phobia.

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!
