Upon examining a wealth of existing research dating as far back as the 1950s, the authors of the paper explain that flushing a toilet that contains fecal matter can produce bioaerosols that remain in the air for an extended period of time. Much of the research suggests the material remains in the air for up 8 minutes after the toilet was flushed.

If beer, bacon or cheese gives you the virus..i’m a goner.
Ditto for China and Iran, and look what’s happened/happening to them.
I’ve seen some additional discussion of this aerosolization problem...the take seemed to be that, while gross, it was not enough to cause transmission.
What IS a vector, by contrast, is not scrubbing one’s hands afterwards. And that’s also lacking in places like China, Iran, and India.
Or are they trying to “break it to ‘em gently” to the masses about how it’s really transmitted?
Amazing that basic first-world hygiene is now newsworthy.
Lol!
From the alligator that comes up through the sewers who caught it from the cat he ate who caught it from his owner the barber who had the virus jump 5 feet 11 inches from an unmasked customer?
Maybe we should stick to worrying about what will give you the coronavirus though.
It sure is!!!
Is it the paper or the ‘discharged matter’?
May explain why some ‘societies’ use their hand.
May explain why some ‘societies’ just drop trou and exit themselves on the spot.
If all these things are true, everyone may as well go around nekkid and throw away your furniture because it must become a ‘carrier’ once one sits on it.
This would be comical but even a sarcastic Mel Brooks etal couldn’t come up with a script like this.
A great example of give an ‘idiot’ an inch and they will take a mile.
Each goveernor doest their damndest to top their ‘neighbor’ and then the mayors top the govs.
I certainly hope these fools don’t expect to get reelected.... of course if they ‘suspend’ the elections they don’t have to worry about it.
Time for PDJT to take a stand, one way or another.
COMPLETE shutdown or nothing.
On bailing the states out, bad idea saying that only ‘blue’ states will NOT be helped, the ones expelled should be the sanctuary cities/states and others that are breaking Federal Laws.
Peer reviewed in the john.
Yes, but sometimes it’s a double flusher, before you stand for the last one.
A guy I know that worked as an engineer in a building said after working on toilet backup, that he wished the person would have given a “courtesy flush” in the midst of their business, instead of making one flush out of the big affair.
Ta-dah.
They used to have toilets with a verical pipe behind the bowl...with a head which released aerosolized water when toilet was flushed to suppress the toilet plume.
It’s a I’ll wind that breaks it gently.
Ill wind ... damn autocorrect....
If flushing your own turd will give you china virus - that was already inside your own body apparently if it's inside your turds, then so will farting.
We're all gonna die. With rancorous odors reverberating in our nostrils!
Greenies will be demanding a return to outhouses — to save the planet and all.
Dave Barry did a funny column on this years ago.
Couldn’t find it but found this on the history of toilets.

Maybe this will work. After taking a dump give it a shot of concentrated bleach and then flush. For sure it will keep the bowl ckean.
Stretch Saran wrap over the bowl prior to flushing. Just remember to take it off after a few minutes.
