Covid risk?

[worriedwart]

I was in a supermarket today and cold air was blowing pretty hard so I assume either it was air-conditioning or some some sort of air filter going.  I wore 2 masks and a full face shield(180 degrees) that goes pretty much around my head.  I was somewhat concerned and left after a few minutes.  I got my 2nd vaccine shot about 2 weeks ago (tomorrow is 14th day).  

Anything to worry?  I would say no but...

Fully vaccinated, 2 masks and a 180° face shield - I think you're okay. :)

Maybe you can get your groceries delivered?

I think so too.  Thank you!

Boy, you were safer than anyone has been this whole time!  I mean, two masks, as shield, and you're vaccinated?  The reason you noticed the air, I think, was it's spring and the temperature is rising and so will the AC in grocery stores.  They keep stores cold both to preserve the food but also to prevent the hatching of common creatures humans don't like in their food anymore.  Indian meal moths will absolutely take over a grocery store if it's not too cold for them to hatch.  It's why I keep so much of what I buy, when opened, in my fridge, including boxed cereal and anything bulk.  Of course, I shop almost exclusively in health food stores.  The old ones were small and underfunded so they were kept on the warmer side and bugs hatched.  Hate to tell all the "vegans" and "vegetarians" but farmers and store employees have to kill a ton of animal life , but the main point is, it's colder and you felt it because it's getting warmer.  The more air circulates, the safer being inside is, not the less safe.  You were probably safer than anyone else on the planet that day.  Peace.

You could ask at the store if it's an air purifier versus just an air conditioner with filters. My guess is, it's probably the usual store ventilation (which is pretty good at bigger and more modern grocery stores). It's too bad you felt so uncomfortable that you left, especially since you have had both vaccinations and time for them to take effect.

Hi AnnieBrooke,

I was going to ask but didn't see anyone around that was free.  I just never had a a system emit so much cold air at that level.   Its probably more me (paranoia) than the store,  and one else at the store seemed to be bothered by it.

I meant to say air purifier not air filter
