Not literally above me, no.
But considering it affects everyone, its not something to ignore - especially in a region that is already 10% more UV intense than most of the world.

You do know that the 'ozone hole' got fixed, right? It's not back to baseline, but the Montreal Protocol is one of the major achievements of collaborative science and eco-politics of the late 20th century.
There is some global thinning, but it's minor. If you don't live literally at the south pole where the actual hole is, it's not a huge change compared to most other sources of skin cancer risk.
Unless you live in Antarctica it doesn't "affect you" in the skin cancer from sun exposure way, just in the "general climate issue" way. And we're not discussing that here.
