It's inevitable that COVID-19 will keep spreading once we return to normal.

I have not heard that we have sufficient testing and contact tracing resources. We only have 24 ICU beds at St. Charles Bend. Tourists will bring in the virus from other parts of Oregon.

common sense!!!!!

Those who aren’t haven’t been educating themselves about Covid-19. People will come, cases will increase and we will be in worse shape then we started. If lucky enough to survive you are not the same.

Yes, it inevitably will spike when we start congregating again. No way to avoid it unless and until the virus is completly eradicated...which will take much more time than is being considered.

Ann Kerr

Because it's so contagious.

Janet Rawlings

It’s too soon!

Brad Livsey

SHEAR GOVERNMENTAL GOOFBALL IGNORANCE!!! We haven't dealt with this killer long enough to make this decision yet. We'll now see a harrowing reflection on just how UGLY this mutant virus WILL GET!!!

Victoria Martin Come'

Too fast, too soon could cause a second and worse spread.

No, we have to deal.

I understand it's possible, but we can't live in fear!

As i typically practice universal precautions every day of the year, and rarely get sick, I will proceed in the same manner. If people are compromised, they should never go out. Never.

More testing is going to show more results. Our death rate for positive tests is 2% We're pretty good.

Take precautions. Obey rules. Invent new ways if enjoying life. Life goes on.

If we do it safely, I feel like we’ll be okay. For once in my life, i miss school!

More and more experts are saying this whole thing is a "nothing burger" as far as flu's go. Children rarely get it. Adults have no problem unless underlying conditions. Move on.

Virus and death is guaranteed in life, you just got to be smart...

Not enough to worry about in Rural Oregon.

Sussie Due

I am not going to let fear run my life. I never did from the beginning and I still wont. This virus will be around just like all the other viruses. Its not going to just go away. Best to accept that.

Kara Surface

I'm an essential worker. I do not know of any essential worker in central oregon that have the virus.

Joyce Hamlin-cutler

It will happen, but if reasonable cautions are used it should minor.

Robert Northrup

I do not believe it will end until everyone is exposed or there is a vaccine. It could mutate and become more deadly like the Spanish flu so personally I would rather be infected and get it over with.
