| I think the bottom line is that we have to respect our own fears. It's clear that you were not comfortable, and that should be the primary determinant. I have not had the same issue, and I am comfortable that, as others have said, a mask of the N95/KN95 types is, for me, an adequate safeguard. As others have also noted, what's happening to actors is a different issue altogether. In fact, acting has suddenly become one of the least safe occupations in the city because you can't wear a mask and do your job. I have come to the conclusion that we need to shut it down until we get over the peak of omicron. Producers have other motivations (and ultimately I think those motivations will result in a hiatus, as I have written elsewhere), but I also wonder if we won't otherwise see AEA getting proactive. But my advice to you based on what you write is to pay as much attention to your mental health as your physical health. |
