It's in the interest of the public to keep people healthy, so canceling large events or ones that draw a crowd is probably smart to do. There's always next year!

Virus needs new hosts. Don't give the virus that opportunity.

Gabe West

Better safe then sorry

Sam Ackerman

Then why do you leave home at all?

Brian Klein

Safety first!

Katie Graber

I think we have a responsibility to the immunocompromised and elderly around us to do what we can to prevent the spread.

Sam Ackerman

Then they can stay home.

Kelly McDiffett

Public safety is essential

Heidi Owen

Yes, should close the border too.

Doug Watt

for good health and to protect the vulnerable, better safe than sorry.

LisaRae Hilton

Only because when there are big events people neglect to keep up their hygiene, washing hands and are in close proximity to one another causing it to spread more quickly.

Sounds like common sense right????

Trump overrides all even dictators with their politicized science myth. Public health officials rubber stamp but don't go on field. All cases & TRO will be overturned. 1st amendment. abuse of power

Depends on where you live, i.e., Italy or China. So far, it hasn't arrived here in Bend, tho it probably will eventually. Until it does, I think events, especially outdoor ones, are probably safe.

Sam Ackerman

This is all over blown by to much media hype. Now I'm off to buy TP.

People need to be smart...do NOT touch your face after you have been in public...use hand washing/or hand sanitizer when you cannot wash...people need to stay home if they are ill

Jim Partridge

The sky is not falling people. If you want to stay home, fine. But don't impose your irrational fears on the rest of us.

Austin Wills

How do you feel about this question a month later? The U.S is leading the world in the total number of infections/mortality rate and you have the nerve to say this. Educate yourself.

Biden needs to open the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Paul Owen

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.

Gabe West

Greg Moore

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.

Nik Myles

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.

Steven Huillet

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

Gabe West

Bide the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Greg Moore

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

Loretta Jones

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

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

David Tucker

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.

Greg Moore

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

Ben Hargis

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

John Philo

OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE!

Gabe West

Amen

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

Rob Mozz

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.

Sussie Due

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!

k san

Why not???

Ben Hargis

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

Robert Northrup

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.

Gabe West

Good idea!
