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.

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

I moved back to Central Oregon from Arizona last May. It was important to me to obtain a primary Care Provider.

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?

I’d rather be extra cautious than sick. We are vaccinated but as we learned, you can still get COVID when you are vaxxed but won’t end up in the hospital. It still is a horrible experience

As a front line caregiver I remain astounded by the ability of this virus to outwit us at every turn. Despite abysmal national leadership from the get go, we did a stellar job in Oregon in keeping it at bay, but allowing it to spread nationally created the far less forgiving variants.

I've had the vaccine but am not sure it covers the variant?

Done all I can do, got the shots, avoid prolonged close contact with the public and if I happen to get it, I just get it. It is just another of the growing number of deadly threats one collects as we get older. And as a 70+ I have a lot of them, but worrying about them isn't one of them.

Anything that will keep the proper level of paranoia alive and well is the governments objective to ensure more control.

Does anyone want to explain how they know that the Delta variant is more contagious when they only have one generic test that test for covid or no covid. They aren't testing for different strands. Someone explain this.

Robert Northrup

I am not concerned about the Delta variant. How many variants have we had now? There have been 11 so far. I am worried about the future variant that becomes far more deadly than any so far. Will those responsible for the death of millions be held accountable?

I enjoy the track and field events. The traditional events are what the Olympics are about. Beach Volleyball and all the other Johnny Come Lately events are not traditional and not what the Olympics are about to me. I know others will disagree with me. I feel sorry for you.

No chance! I watch the Olympic to watch the athletes compete with the best in the world. The American athletes have degraded the Olympics to a political statement! Complete waste of time!!!!

It is too boring. Too many athletes have made it political just as football and the rest. They don't deserve to be in sports if they can't keep it to just sports.

Don't really watch any sports except golf and maybe a hockey game and will not until they quit being political and bring sports back just for the game. Tired of athletes and celebs telling us what to do and how to think.

I realize not all US Olympians hate the US but those that do have ruined the events for many of US. If you weren't alive at the time of the 1968 Olympics when George Foreman jogged around the ring with the the American flag you can't imagine the pride we felt.
