I go to the same gym at the same time every day, and it's always the exact same crowd of ~6-8 people which is lower risk than a revolving crowd. The square footage is about the same as my grocery store. Everyone has their temperature taken and is required to wear a mask. It's spacious enough that people can stay spread out, with plenty of ventilation. Hand sanitizer, disinfectant and wipes are everywhere. Staff are constantly wiping things down, on top of patrons doing the same. They are able to do contact tracing if a case is confirmed because the gym has contact info for everyone who would have been there the same day.

Compare this to the grocery where you're going to encounter different crowds every time. People aren't temperature screened. At mine you're forced into close proximity at the checkout. I've never seen surfaces being disinfected at the grocery aside from occasional touch screen wipedown. I don't see contact tracing being used at the grocery.

Any way you slice it for me... Even given the lower time spent in the store compared to the gym, the risk at the gym comes out lower.

That said I'm still minimizing my social contact otherwise and being tested for covid weekly to be as certain as possible that I'm not negatively affecting others.
