With all of the press that "COVID in sewage" got, I'm curious if this same mechanism could be a better explainer for spread of covid in some areas than others. Specifically, my hypothesis would be that places that typically have non fitted lids on toilettes are a large part of why some super spreader gatherings turn into super spreaders.
Would love if someone has thoughts/suggestions on how to disprove this general idea.
- sandyarmstrong 4y agoWhy would this be necessary to explain spread when COVID is aerosolized on every exhale?
- taeric 4y agoIt would more explain lack of spread in other large gatherings. Edit: As an example, it could also go a long way to explain why more teachers don't get covid from students. They don't typically have shared restrooms. Big caveat, I've not seen a reliable quantification of that spread.
