I’ve always left the lid down. But it’s especially important if you have cats, because they sometimes waterboard their toys (Spencer does this in the cat fountain) or just want to play in it.
i never left the lid up to begin with, but made especially certain to remember to put it back down after reading a certain dave barry column a long, long time ago…
Welcome to the real world. The COVID-19 virus has been found in surface water because of wastewater and sewage discharges. The virus was detected even after sensitization treatment before discharge into the environment, I think.
I wish I could forward this comic to everyone I know. I think I’m the only one who puts the lid down. If I’m somewhere else, I put it down, but they never take the hint.
Humorist Dave Barry wrote about the flush plume in one of his books, and in the ensuing decades, it’s been impossible for me NOT to recall the image every time I flush. Commercial Sloan valves do it best.

I feel coronaviruses are not my main concern in this scenario.

Mythbusters did an episode on this years ago. Why is it suddenly new information?

Remember, if you leave the lids down, the snakes and rats can’t escape into the rest of your house.

To paraphrase a Mythbusters episode, “We live in a cloud of poo.”

Trust me folks, leaving it for someone else to flush away is NOT an option!
