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)

New idea from liberals.
Squat toilets only.
I was going to say “You’ve gotta be $ch!tting me!” . . . .
Essential workers, and now that colleges are going out of business perhaps trade schools will provide more valuable essential plumbers.
It’s Shiffing!
I knew it. Masks are just the beginning.
How about a Purell spraying bidet?
I guess we’re all going to have to learn to use the three shells...
This is a thing, was actually on a call with a developer about this.
The push is on for “touchless” functionality, and a lid that closes before the WC flushes itself.
I’m all for it.
(but ended up trapping and hosing down homeless people)
Sounds like a win win.
I would hate to see those toilet plums shooting around a public bathroom.
How many people lower the toilet seat lid before flushing? One in 5,000? Yet I’m not aware of flushing-without-lowering ever being associated with the spread of disease. I’d go into more detail about the idiocy of this woman’s idea, but the rules of TMI prevent me from doing so.
You’ll have to wear diapers and restrooms will be roped off.
Water saver toilets are the worst. Bring back the multi gallon flush and you’ll reduce “the plume of death”
and so the Squatter was born ...
Poop in the bushes?
And where do they use squat toilets? CHINA where this virus came from.
