I don't need to watch anything. I've seen these eclipses myself. Usually there are all sorts of warnings about looking at the sun directly even during a total eclipse. During totality there is really no problem as only about the same amount of light presents as it does with a full moon. But almost no one actually gets to see a total eclipse, and looking directly at the sun even when it is 99.9% covered is hazardous. During an annular (Annular means ring, referring to the outer ring of the sun which is not obscured; not to be confused with annual.) a lot more than 0.1 % of the sun is always visible; and so it is always hazardous to view such things without a filter.
My guess is that the thing is over by now and whoever is going to suffer eye damage will have suffered it. But FR shouldn't be a place where one might get the impression that such thing a safe to stare at.
