At this point I would defer any advice on this matter to our resident
stargazer, Davoud.

OMG, the pressure is on! I have bought many pairs of safe solar glasses
from https://www.rainbowsymphony.com. It might be a bit late to get
them, however. I haven't shopped locally, but it must be possible to
buy them from Target or CVS or the like. Try to look for made in USA. I
bought 200 pair about six months ago; donated 100 pair to the local
community college for their public event, distributed another 50 pair
to various people, and I'm taking 50 pair with me to our observing site
in Tennessee for those who might arrive unprepared.

What I am waiting for are the reports on phone cameras damaged when taking
solar selfies.

I will bet that many will use the flash

Only because they don’t know how to turn the flash off.
