I think the pandemic will soon improve. We can soon get a booster shot so I think that will help the current surge.

It may be wishful thinking but I believe that before the end of the year we should be putting this behind us. It all depends on if all the the selfish, misguided and unvaccinated people see the light and get their shots.

Dusti

🤣🤣🤣. Not everyone is going to get vaccinated. You don’t know what’s in that or what health problems it can cause. I refuse to put that shit in my body.

I think the pandemic will last for a long time or it will soon end.

It's a virus. It will be here, like the flu, for a long, long time. We must learn to live with it and above all, not to live in fear

Shantae Carter

True! Natural immunity is really the only option for this to all die down in my opinion.

DeBacker Melis

Amen!

John Philo

Never, because the government will never give up their lust for control. It has nothing to do with the virus.

Mackenzie Ehrens

Its a virus juat like the flu.. Will always mutate into something more.

Evie Mayrand-Weiss

Because the.people in charge are self serving and it's about control and not our personal lives. I would take the vaccine but the push for it makes me not want.to

Jeanine Labelle

It will never fully disappear.

Dianne Price

There isn't any way to predict that!! Get your shots & wear a mask---it'll help!!

Brad Livsey

When the political Republican leadership regains the office on the hill, that's when.

Shantae Carter

It’s already improved. People just need to open their eyes and see that and stop being scared little sheep.

Stephanie McMillan

The public needs to wake up and stop complying with theses mandates(not laws) or this will never end!

Tim Collins

NEVER

Mackenzie Ehrens

Its like the flu its a virus... May i add with a 99.7% cure rate.. There should be no mandate.. The vaccine doesnt even do its job you can still get and give the virus so what exactly does it do?

Lynn Huntley

Until the majority of people go along with the requirements to curb the infection, it will keep going. And the ones who do not help, are the ones crying the loudest.

Rick Allen

NOW!!! Everyone just get the vaccine so we can get past all this nonsense!!!! Because I will NOT wear the stupid masks!!!!

Greg Moore

COVID-19 is no longer a novel virus, which is most important to recognize. We understand the virus, we have vaccines, treatments, and most of us have some degree of immunity (t-cell response, if not antibodies). We are now in the 'must start living with it' phase. So, let it go, and let us live.

Josh Brown

This will never end. As long as there I a pandemic, there will be emergency orders. Without emergency orders there can be no jab because it's experimental.

Latterdaysaint

We need to learn to live with it and not live in fear, the vaccine can cause covid also and alot of other problems

Richard Dillard

It will continue to make people sick and die because so many people refuse to get vaccinated and or ware a mask ley do not care about anyone but themselves.

Greg Moore

Actually, many of us care far more about others than the ones that want to force kids to mask. There will very likely be far more ADDED youth suicide deaths than ALL COVID youth deaths because school is made miserable, no smiles, drop-outs, drugs, etc. Care about others? Let kids live w/o masks.

Tarasem

I expect nothing, hope for the best and am prepared to adapt to changing circumstances as they arise.

Robert Reynolds

This will never end

Robert Northrup

Never! It seems to mutate just like the flu.

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

Lee Daggett

There humans too

The homeless are not residents, they are squatters!

Kayla Sulak

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

Richard Williams

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Joanna Lee

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

Shane Murray

The homeless have trashed the forest out there. It makes me sick

Greg Deadbolt Leach

Time to move these people to the Attorneys and Judges front lawns!!!

Karen Thrower

The China Hat area has been badly damaged and disrespected by campers.

Jeannie H.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

Nancy

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

Lynn Marie Leehmann

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

Brad Aimone

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

Nancy Roquero

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

Lisa York

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

Debbie Boyd

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

Marie Gilbert

We live near China Hat and the fear of fire and crime is constant. Plus the forest is being destroyed by illegal cutting of trees, garbage and toxins

Bendlover

I haven't felt safe hiking or biking there for years due to the aggressive homeless people out there.

Pam

We need to ensure that the lands are managed for the enjoyment/needs of all peoples, not a select few

pamcuny

I worry every year WHO is in the woods starting fires, whether deliberate or unintentional consequences…

Jeff Sanders

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

Latterdaysaint

There needs to be more homeless shelters in the city!

Kim Kahl

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.
