       "Commercial toilets emit energetic and rapidly spreading aerosol plumes" Always a good day when a long-held opinion is finally supported by science. Lid-less toilets are as nasty as I've suspected.https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24686-5#Science #PublicHealth

       @romunov Not, but they certainly get more norovirus infections than flies...

       @skepteis Even with a lid - nobody is touching that in a public toilet so they are open either way...

       @romunov @skepteis Discussions looks like it could use the usual reminder about lid-less toilets emulated at home by just leave the lid open on flushing.Smell of feces is not aerosol but the actual matter of those. They fly around a lot more without lid and end up on surfaces.Think of it when brushing your teeth.

       @Kadsenchaos Depending on the public health impact, it might be worth automating it
