Should Central Oregon reopen before the rest of the state?
Yes, because:
No, stay on pace.
If we open for business before the rest of the state then we will have an influx of people coming from larger urban areas increasing the threat of infection

You open up now, everyone from the other side of the state will be over here with their bugs. And they will be more than happy to share them.

Absolutely not! Money can be replaced but people can not. If you are willing to loose your life, a family member, neighbors or friends by all means go mingle with all the travelers who will folk here.

I agree that if you open early, the rest of the state will head this way. We need to stay the course so we don't backslide and have to start over.

Disabled & elderly, husband & I would like to continue to LIVE in our Central Oregon slice of heaven. The tourism small business we've built is now destroyed. Still, people's lives are more important!

Look at the stats. We are showing that it's reasonably safe to do so. Use caution where needed but don't be paranoid.
ReplyOregon rural areas are much safer than the bigger cities. The areas with little cases should be allowed to open slowly.
ReplyThe local and national economy may not recover as it is. This flu is not dangerous for most people. Do you want to make a living and have a future for your children, or hide in fear?
ReplyI think opening it in sectors based on demand/Industry is important. Allowing more space in between customers. More cleaning. More open doors, windows and air flow.
ReplyOH YEAH!! Reopen CO first and watch the Valleyites swarm over the mountain to sneeze and cough on us all, and spread the potent Vallyitus virus. You know?...It's the sneezin' pollen season everywhere!
ReplyCases in Oregon have been dropping for the last two weeks. Oregon must open up businesses and get the economy back to normal as soon as possible
ReplyThe numbers reflect that people have been following all the advice; however the reopening should be gradual & people should continue following the advised practices.
ReplyBecause there's no cases in jefferson or crook county. It's time to start opening things back up responsibly!
ReplyAll of eastern Oregon and rural areas should open. This is killing to many small towns unnecessarily
ReplyAs long as CO residents act in moderation, relaxing constraints should be considered.
