Consider that the vast majority of commercial bathrooms in the U.S. dont even include lids on toiletsmeaning that every time someone flushes, a toilet plume of droplets explodes into the air, coating the surrounding stall (and the person standing in it) and aerosolizing the bowls contents, which can be breathed in and ingested by nearby parties (gross)
We also know that COVID-19 has been found in human poop, up to 33 days after infected people have recovered and tested negative for the virus. No amount of handwashing will remove a virus sprayed all over your body.
a huge uptick in requests for touchless technologies, particularly from schools hoping to improve bathrooms before potentially reopening this fall
People dont even want to touch a manual flush valve; they kick-flush using their foot,
a disastrous experiment by the city of Seattle to install self-cleaning public bathroomswhich sprayed disinfectant and power-washed floors after every use (but ended up trapping and hosing down homeless people)

Get farther away from that nasty plume...
Force equals weight times distance...
Might be a local tsunami alert?
A tidal wave?
“Yet Im not aware of flushing-without-lowering ever being associated with the spread of disease.”
“Mythbusters” did a segment about this a few years ago. If you can watch it, you’ll NEVER flush without closing the lid — if there’s a lid to be closed. And you’ll relocate your toothbrush behind a cabinet door, 20 feet away from the commode. The ecoli crud that flew through the air after a flush — ugh.
