Not concerned. Covid is here to stay. There will not be herd immunity. We will all come down with it eventually due to the mutations and weaker strains that are becoming vaccine resistant. Whether or not you are vaccinated doesn't matter. Just like the flu

There's little concern. 99% of the Delta Covid deaths correspond to the unvaccinated. The few breakthrough cases are just a minor flu with little symptoms. So masks are really an over - reaction and a dangerous reaction. The solution is to get vaccinated. Not masks.

Current studies indicate that masks provide 20% protection. And for that -- we mandate them? I don't think so.

I'm concerned that the unvaccinated might spread covid to my granddaughter, myself, and/or my adult children. I worry about our communities and our schools. I fear it will spread like wildfire through our children, who aren't vaccinated yet. Please, please vaccinate!

230,103 COVID cases in Oregon and 2903 deaths. Virtually all those that died had underlying conditions. They did not die of COVID, Keep wearing masks and keep getting booster shots for the rest of your life. I am sorry some have lost loved ones. How about prosecuting those that created the virus.

I'm fine if you don't want to get vaccinated BUT stay home when you get Covid and don't take up space in the hospital.

The Delta Variant is all but a government and media created hoax. It is no more dangerous than a cold.

I practice a very healthy lifestyle, and I do not live in fear, which will add to compromising your immunity-check the science you’re behind the learning curve.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.

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...

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!

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.

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!
