Holy shit (literally) this bears weight. Hear me out. So, my whole immediate family (except for me) is finishing up a nasty few weeks with Covid. I don’t live with them, but I’ve gone over to do laundry, help decorate for Christmas, and even spent the day with my mom the day before she and the rest of the gang tested positive. What DIDN’T I do? Use the basement bathroom, known as the “poop bathroom” for the great flush and powerful fan lol. My dad has been sick for over a month and finally tested positive. That’s “his” bathroom, but my sisters and mom use it often, too. I was all over that house. In the fridge, bringing boxes out, sitting in the kitchen with the whole family, HUGGED my dad and kissed him on the cheek, used the upstairs bathroom...not so much as a sniffle for me. I tested negative twice over the next week. So it could be the toilets...or is it in the tap water?
When you flush a toilet, unless the lid is down, a very fine spray is released into the room. You don't see it, but, if your theory is correct, the person who flushes might be covered in this fine spray. Ruh-roh! Infection!! I like this theory!! Should be followed up by a scientist!!
Define scientist. My degree and career has been analytical chemistry. I was part of a team that developed one of those wonderful coronavirus RT-PCR tests.
Tap water contains enough chlorine to kill a virus, or parasite, assuming the water is chlorinated, not to far from the distribution point, and has not been standing too long.

Good to know. Also not great to be drinking that?
Well, according to the MSM, President Trump told us all to drink bleach, so...
