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"

Commented "City of Bend is taking steps--albeit baby steps--but an old motel is being converted and 3 managed camps are in the works. Will help only 10 percent of our unhoused population, though."

Commented "Though I am fully vaccinated, I still need to protect against a breakthrough infection from the Delta variant. In which case, I would not be sick, but would still be infectious and capable of infecting someone who is immunocompromised,--or unvaccinated. Let's fight the virus, not each other."

Commented "This is a rapidly mutating virus. Why give it a chance to continue to spread and transform into even more transmissible and deadly variants. We need to stop taking half measures on an inconsistent basis and act to once and for all vanquish this pandemic."

Commented "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."

Commented "Way the question is framed sounds like a push poll. Anyway, the virus in question is extremely opportunistic. Masking policies should reflect its deviousness and depend on day to day positivity rates and types of variants. 100's of children have died and/or have gotten the MIS disease. Testing!"

Commented "Absolutely. We are not out of the woods. Though our vaccination rate in Deschutes County is commendable the appearance of the more transmissible Delta variant endangers those who remain unprotected. "

Commented "I am still masking and social distancing, because the virus that causes Covid-19 "needs to be gone." The new more transmissible and more deadly Delta variant will soon be the predominant virus; masking sends a signal that there are many of us still susceptible to getting sick,"
