Flush carefully. Study suggests coronavirus could spread in spray from toilet.

Anything that has come from my own gut or kidneys is not going to make me sick. If I'm not sick already, then I am immune to my own gut bacteria. I wash my hands to protect other people.

Of course it's not!

I think this has more to do with using a communal or shared bathroom.

I grew up in Broken Hill @Warrigal so I know what you mean about the toilet down the back yard
and you didn’t mention allot of us used newspaper ,that was handled by who knows how many before being cut into squares then hung on a rusty nail in the toilet with millions of flies in summer.

We had a chook ( chicken ) house right next to the toilet as well .o_O....Oh my it’s a wonder we didn’t die of a combination of diseases:):)

We used phenyl in our toilets, it was thick black very strong smelling stuff that turned a whitish colour when added to water

There was 8 children and we all bathed in the same water ( once a week ) that has been boiled in the old copper out in the back yard , I don’t even remember going to a Dr during my childhood or any of the other
kids going to one either

The cut-up newspapers must have been international .. we used them too. Also, never went to doctors.

There are only two people in our house and we sleep in the same bed so I am terribly not worried about passing the virus between us via the toilet. If one of us becomes infected, we both will. The main aim is to be very careful when we leave the house using appropriate hygiene and observing social distancing.

Interesting choice of words - "The main aim."
 
I've never heard of putting the lid down before flushing, until now! I wonder if there are any real studies on how much illness is caused this way. Unless I read a lot more about how dangerous this is, I am not about to change my lifelong habits.
