Commented "Success so far in Bend with Veterans Village, Lighthouse, safe parking program, St. Vincent dePaul. More expected with Central Oregon Villages 27th St. facility and Rainbow Motel. Still more needs to be done, of course. But that's a promising start. This is a national humanitarian crisis."

Commented "For transparency. For a more democratic process. 2000 petition signers should not be dismissed in what some might perceive as callow and arrogant."

Commented "It's still here. Chances of contracting the new variants are even higher. However, vaccinations protect against severe symptoms. It's good to remember that 1 out of 7 of those who become even mildly sick are at risk of acquiring long term Covid. 150,000 Americans still dying yearly."

Commented "The new variants are equally as contagious as measles. I don't wish to risk infection and--in so doing--give the virus the opportunity to evolve into a far more pernicious variant. Better if we had effective public health measures with public buy-in from the beginning."

Commented "I would be more confident if society would enhance school safety by banning assault weapons. It should be a multi-pronged approach: increased funding for woefully underfunded mental health services; enhanced school safety; assault weapons ban. It works only with an integrated effort."

Commented "Today's Supreme Court religio-extremists have ruled otherwise, but a founder, namely Jefferson, desired a "wall of separation between Church and State." He produced a version that excludes all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including the resurrection."

Commented "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."

Commented "A vaccinated person who contracts a breakthrough infection is far less likely to need to be hospitalized. A vaccinated person is far less likely to get infected and spread the virus."

Commented "The Delta variant is 40% more infectious. Allowing it to spread allows even more of a chance for it to mutate into even more infectious, deadly forms that infect children and infants at a higher rate and which an prove impervious to vaccines. We are ignoring basic tenets of biology and epidemiolog"
