The covid lockdown will kill more people then covid will

Robert Northrup

The COVID lock down will injure and ultimately kill more people than COVID alone. Extremely few otherwise healthy people die. We have destroyed businesses and peoples lives for nothing.

Elizabeth Spalding

I went to both because I am alive. And I have teeth and a body.

Rick Allen

Yes I have and it sucks having to wear a damn mask, I cant breath, plus DRs have not been much help either.

I haven't been to the doctors because the pandemic has made it challenging to go.

I would go to dentist but they aren't taking patients unless there's a problem. No regular checkups. I've gone to doctor tho at urgent care. My primary doctor isn't seeing patients, phone visits only.

A lot of people don't have access to good medical or dental insurance and are low income which means it's difficult for them to pay out of pocket. Especially for Dental work. Why does Bend Not have any low income and/or free dental clinics like almost every other City does?
