As if forgetting to sanitize wasn't enough, now you may have to worry about possibly catching coronavirus when you flush the toilet.
Doctors have shown that coronavirus can live and replicate in the digestive system, and evidence of the virus has been found in human waste.
It's considered a possible route of transmission.
Now a team at Yangzhou University in China has used computer modeling to show how the water from a flushed toilet could spray up into the air -- as high as three feet, they wrote in the journal Physics of Fluids.
That's right the study has found that merely flushing the toilet could produce a plume of droplets that could rise up three feet high in the air and possibly give you coronavirus.
Scientists aren't sure whether or not a public or private restroom can spread the virus, but it seems that in the future common spaces may have to be done over. Researchers suggest that if you use a public restroom the best thing to do is close the seat cover to reduce the risk of droplets making you ill.
