Covid has really got me down and I will be needing to use Oxygen permanently now. Is it dangerous because of risk of fire, a definite no, no, or do people do it with no issues?

Oxygen doesn't burn. It won't explode. It is a catalyst.
No it isn’t. A catalyst promotes/causes a reaction but isn’t effected by the reaction. It is an oxidizer. It “burns” carbon compounds in the cells and changes them into useful energy and carbon dioxide.

It is a pain in the butt but it isn’t dangerous. Unless you smoke. I use 6lpm at rest and up to 10lpm with activities. So I carry liquid oxygen dewar around all the time. It is heavy. My lung condition makes the heavy part even worse so I have to take things slower than other folks. But it doesn’t hamper my shooting per se.
