The last time I saw a serious study on the issue, which did include lid testing, the lid did little to stop the spray. It just blows out from the sides under the seat.

Clearly we need over engineered toilet lids that seal all around with double locks.

Or perhaps even if they do spray in all directions it's not quite as horrible as it's made out to be.

Probably with one way valves so they can flush despite the seal. I agree with the idea that it is probably not a big deal. Good for headlines grossing people out, but probably a non-issue for average humans with functioning immune systems.
