In this case you very much can and would get it from a toilet seat the viral load is highest in the bathroom. This virus doesn’t need a mucus membrane to cross the dermal layer it is fully capable of infecting perfectly healthy skin just like a herpes virus or a HPV virus any of those can spread skin to skin or surface to skin contact. It’s just the way it works sometimes. No tinfoil quackery meeded.

This is the actual hard science behind it with all the viral loading and data for those with the intellectual ability to comprehend it.
