Don't put words in my mouth.
SARS back in 2007 or whenever that was, was actually documented to spread in Hong Kong via fecal contamination, when an effluent pipe in a high-rise complex leaked (poor mainetance).
IIRC this virus binds to similar receptors in the lungs as SARS does.
Not sure where I picked that up from now, but I was not intentionally trying to put worlds in your mouth.
I don’t find anything in your comments that addressed infection from gases, so I apologize.
