We have to shut down. No doubt it will hurt people financially but if we dont stop the spread on covid now, we wont at all. There will be more deaths.

If more people do not want to follow the mask wearing rule, then they should not complain when businesses start to close again to prevent the spreading.

People are not being smart about protecting themselves or other people. Unfortunately, this necessitates the Governor to develop a widespread approach to reduce the infection rate. Good for her!

Yes I do. Our so called leader continues to ignore the situation, focusing on his re-election only. He is totally useless.

It's the only way to stop this. Even with this, if everyone has respect for the health of others instead of living selfishly, and wears masks it will take 2-3 more months to stop the contagion.

There are no absolutes in the 1st amendment. There are numerous Supreme Court decisions that limit 1st amendment rights. Donald Trump has declared a national emergency, so our rights may be limited.

SCIENCE! This is not an individual decision like 'should I wear a raincoat today' and it is up to me if I get wet. This virus is largely asymptomatic so protect yourself and those you love and care about (and all humans) this is not for ever- history has taught us and it is clear what we have to do

Come on people! Can we all just wear masks all the time for a few months? Countries that did so are back to normal. Meanwhile, our grandparents, parents, friends and neighbors are dying.

You won't be able to show a "smile" if you're dead! And Gov is not mandating what we do in our homes. We are in a bad state of surge, and need the restrictions! those crying about "rights" are idiots!

Headed home in Sisters yesterday. I counted 37 people hangin' out visiting-sitting closely-shoulder to shoulder on the West end of Cascade licking cones-I wondered how many were locals-if any!...Hmmm?

People should decide. Let those that want to wear a mask, do so. Let each person decide what is best for them and those they live around. Let those who are compromised, or scared, stay home.

It's just causing a problem for more people to become Enemies. Some people can barely breathe with a Mask on and it's good to show a smile! Touch Comforts people and these rules worsen mental health!

No, you do not have the right to risk the health of others. A mask won't help you, you're right, but it will keep you from spreading it if you are asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic. GET OVER YOURSELF!

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!
