Coronavirus May 2020 - Observations, information, discussion

EWWWW!!! There was a segment on tonight’s news about the risk of using public bathrooms. Apparently the water in the toilets flush (spray?) upwards and aerosolizes some of the content. And… wait for it… the virus can remain in feces for… over 30 days!!!

Oh, and don’t touch the hot/cold water spicket things or soap dispensers or use the electronic hand dryers- those suckers can blow stuff all over the place! They talked about what it would cost to update all public restrooms with those automatic water and soap things that turn on when you put your hand under them, and the same with the auto paper towel dispensers (NOT cheap!) And no clue how they would replumb toilets so the water doesn’t splash/aerosolize. Oh and stay out of unisex bathrooms (I missed the whole explanation, but can imagine). And diaper changing stations… (they didnt mention but I can imagine…) I think this is going to haunt me!!
