I'm surprised to say the least that it was contaminated surfaces that were the primary cause.

But I mean, it makes sense.

We've known it's transmissible via fecal matter for a long time too.

The excretion of virus particles in faces is massive.

ah, yes.

A study from singapore showing a concentration of virus in brown water 200 times higher than was expected based on infection-rate.

that could be silent cases, but still a significant finding.

I'd be surprised if anyone that worked a water treatment plant wasn't infected at some point.

I/C is high for covid 19

interesting point! Ill check for that when I have time.

good thinking. Clever dude/maam.

Cheers!

Includes people that have to work with septic tanks, and utility workers that have to go into into any sewage environment.

well, you dont know its denaturation time exactly, so I would want to check and see if toilet cleaners have a Relative Risk that is significant.

That too.

the singapore study didnt look for operational virii, but RNA fragments.

Water also furthers the expected lifespan of the virus itself.

To potentially weeks.

Its worth reading the cruice ship swab studies too. They found the highest probability on bathroom floors, and the second on pillows.

40 something and 30 something.

I saw one interesting case here, where an entire nursing home got infected, yet the staff had observed all rules and regulations.

why would you put your mask back on before washing your hands

They had been sharing bathrooms, however.

Because your mask is contaminated.

Ideally you wouldn't take it off, ever.

@realz the mask you wear into a public restroom is now full of aerosols with virii, if the person before you is sick.

next to your eyes, mouth and nose.

got it

but how is that worse than no mask

it isnt.

OK

its just hanging around in the air in the public rest rooms then

its just that a mask does not protect

yes, once you flush, it gets airborne.

like enterovirii

mmk

It hangs in the air. Anything you smell can be a particle that contains a viral load.

It eventually settles on surfaces.

mhm

so pubs, clubs, hotels and cruice ships become superspreaders.

not subways.
