Significant sex differences in Covid-19 immune response

I'm not accusing us of literally stepping into the urinal. I thought the data was fairly clear that men are worse at washing their hands than women are. And it seems a safe claim that splash back from the urinal is not zero.

That said, I'm calling this my pet idea, in large because I think it is a silly one. Do I think it is in the realm of plausible? I mean, yeah. But I don't think it has stepped into the realm of likely.

Forget washing hands, the urinals are very close to each other and there are no barriers to exhaled air. Someone sneezes, it bounces off the wall to the adjacent users.

I thought y'all were doing physical distancing long before COVID hit -- isn't there a rule against occupying adjacent stations?

In men's restrooms, you are almost certainly getting urine on you from the previous person to use the urinal. I'd be curious to see studies that quantify this.
