With public spaces reopening, how do you go out without having to cross your legs until you get back home.  New studies show that toilet flushes generate a cloud of possibly virus-contaminated aerosol while established data reveals a rest room to be a microbe sewer with contamination on every surface.

 

Remember that CoVid is shed longer from the gastrointestinal tract than from the lungs so asymptomatic persons are likely to have toxic feces.

 

The rules are simple:

  • Wear a filtration mask.
  • Close any lid, and turn away from the toilet and urinal as they flush.
  • Distance from other users.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water, best, or 70%+ alcohol as you depart.
