Before everyone gets carried away with skepticism , consider this:
When you are in a room with other people and you smell a fart, it means that microscopic pieces of FECES (which are still many times larger than a virus) left an anus, went through at least two pieces of cloth (underwear and pants or slacks, across a room , and traveled UP YOUR NOSE and probably into your mouth as well..

A lot cheaper than paying for a fecal transplant.
Reminds me of Foxworthy’s bit about “smell this”.
Just lost my tea, after reading your post.
However....your theory does, in a way, tie into the reports we heard, early on, coming out of Wuhan about ‘methane plumes’....that were believed to also spread the virus.
So....there’s that.
You are right China already confirmed the fecal oral route for this bug. They also have plenty of evidence of aerosol transmission particularly the cases where a passenger on a bus caught on camera and confirmed positive after the fact infected people 4.5 meters away , andand also infected two additional passengers 30 minutes after they departed. No other people were sick on the bus at that time. There’s a peer reviewed paper of this incident I’ll have to look for it. Japan has at least 33 more examples that were.medically reviewed that show transmission over 3 meters away again via aerosols. This is of no surprise other coronavirus spread this way, as does influenza and mumps and measles. The human body when it is in peak infectious stage sheds millions of virus particles just breathing.
