Masking and vaccinating should have been voluntary the whole time.

I don't wear one now, so yes, I'll be comfortable not wearing one in April.

Only a complete neurotic, unscientific fool would have a problem going maskless... unless you are immune-compromised. Read the science... knowledge is your friend. Omicron is truly nothing more than the flu... it sets in your nose/throat, not your lungs.

I'm comfortable now not wearing one, why would I not be comfortable then?

masks should have never ever been mandated. We have reputable large studies showing "asymptomatic spread" is false and we have countless studies showing masks don't work and never did. In every major city if you look at the case/death graph they all go up dramatically AFTER mask mandates

I don't wear a mask now. If a place tries to enforce it I don't go in there. It's discrimination and unscientific. 99% of places I go anymore don't enforce, but every once in awhile there will be one place that does, looking at you goodwill (they chase you down).

If businesses want customers to wear masks, that is their right. If you won't wear a mask and refuse to enter, that is your right.

I have been vaxed and boosted - even tho the efficacy of boosters reportedly wains after 4 mos - but since the virus is now endemic, we can't live lives forever masked. I will feel comfortable going into a restaurant sans mask. Already have done so... doing fine so far.

As per my Doctors orders I was not supposed to be wearing a mask period! So I will actually be comfortable again. But Im sure this wont last. Just like all the other times she lifted the mask mandate. She's just toying with us,

I'll be pretty comfortable without a mask since I'm current on the shots. That's assuming we don't get a spike in some new nasty variant.

Several months ago, CDC confirmed cloth masks have little effect on controlling COVID, yet our President and Governor have ignored the science. The Johns Hopkins University Study proved lockdowns were a mistake. Make masking voluntary now! Those concerned should wear an N95 mask. Let's move on.

April?? Seriously? I have been comfortable NOT wearing a mask this whole time! I live by faith NOT fear. Wearing a mask harms your immune system over time, ( yes that is from DR's not misinformation!) we need to move on! I was NEVER even remotely comfortable wearing a mask, this question is backward

Well, you would have to lock yourself in your house and never come out, as Omicron gets right through your mask, even if surrounded by morons who have had 5 boosters and triple masked

Covid will never come to an end until everyone gets their shots. There are just so many people that refuse to do that, that I think it will always be a problem. Some people should start thinking about the safety of others, not just what they think about themselves.

I know 4 unvaccinated people that acquired COVID from vaccinated people. 123,740 fully vaccinated people in Oregon have contracted COVID and 783 fully vaccinated people have died. Don't blame people that didn't get vaccinated. I am sorry you are so frightened.

At my sister's work place 5 people got vaccinated and two did not (medical reasons. Allergic to the ingredients). As of now, the vaccinated people have had COVID twice and the two that were not vaccinated have not gotten sick yet. One of them being my sister. Interesting.

Newsflash, it will never end. The shots are not stopping it, if you have not been following the news.

I dont have a problem with people wearing masks. Like Fauci said back in 2020....if it makes you feel comfortable by all means do it. I will not diss people that still want to wear a mask. Thats their business. As for me I will be happy to be following my Doctor's orders and go back to NOT wearing.

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

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

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!
