Went out to eat for the first time since February!

I don't understand the fear of public restrooms. I go in wearing my N95 mask and nitrile gloves, use the toilet, wash my gloved hands, exit the restroom. It feels no more dangerous than walking the supermarket aisles. Am I missing something?

Yeah a little.
People who are Infected knowingly or otherwise, release virus aerosols when they speak, laugh, cough, pee. Those aerosols can settle in, on and around a toilet seat where you could come into direct contact with them, unlike walking in a grocery store where presumably you are maintaining more physical distance
 
I haven't seen any cautions from the CDC, WHO, medical personnel or epidemiologists so I'm going to assume public toilet use is relatively safe. Our local stores rigorously sanitize restrooms.

I'll will continue to use the safeguards I mentioned but will now be even more aware of my surroundings. Thanks for the tips, @Ronni.

You know how it is. When you gotta go, you gotta go.

Oh man do I ever!! 😂

I keep a travel sized bottle of sanitizer in my purse. Also a ziplock snack bag of a couple wipes. I’m not above squeezing some sanitizer onto some TP and wiping down the seat before I go!
