Scientists are still learning a great deal about COVID-19 and how it spreads, but they have learned it can be transmitted via "aerosolized feces," according to a new study.


The research, published by Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, notes it can be transmitted via a phenomenon known as "toilet plume," placing greater importance that people close the toilet lid when flushing.

Oh, crap!

So the fact that I leave floaters makes me a bigger threat as a carrier?

If it's yellow flush it down

If it's brown let it mellow

If it's red call your doctor

I am so confused. My own shite may aerosolize and give me corona? If it’s in my feces I already have it.

Or do they assume someone else is watching me shite?

The threat is that person A uses the bathroom, flushes and it spreads all over the bathroom including a nearby counter or towel.

Person B then goes into the bathroom and touches the infected counter or towel and then has the virus on their hands.

This is stupid. The only toilets with lids are in home bathrooms. If the virus is in my shite then I already have it.

Same can happen in your home and give it to the next person who uses the bathroom.
