You can't be seriously asking us for advice about how to "game" the system (e.g., poking little holes in the mask, etc.)!
Attending an art exhibition is definitely not a life-and-death matter.
Either stay home, or drive!
Regards,
Of course it’s not life or death to go there. It’s the first chance my friends and I have had to meet in person since 2019. We used to see each other every year. There are 4 of us all across the US and we’ve been friends since grade school. This particular friend is having her first exhibition. She is a relatively new artist, and I want to be there to support her. That’s what friends do. It’s a time to celebrate, and in my humble opinion, time also to move ON past COVID. For over a year I’ve had to put up with wearing masks. I have trouble breathing with them on. I am fully vaccinated. The air on the planes is filtered. I would prefer to stop with this nonsense. I’m sure I will wear a mask, but I’m under no illusion that they protect me or you from viruses. Because I haven’t worn a mask for over an hour in a long long time, I’m really not looking forward to doing that again.
Be well, FRiend.
