An enterovirus rather than a SARS virus?

Researchers looking into cluster outbreaks such as the Skagit Co. WA choir outbreak have consistently overlooked which infected persons used the communal restrooms during their gatherings. Granted, the CDC and WHO repeatedly declare there have been no “documented” cases of fecal transmission of Covid-19. A caveat to consider when reading their assessment is “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.”

This virus was harvested from bat feces, is found in the feces of recovered Covid patients for seven months after testing “negative”, and is trackable in community wastewater before residents are symptomatic and testing positive. GI symptoms have been the under-appreciated prodromal hallmarks of this virus. The public health experts combating polio needed three decades to appreciate it was not really airborne: it was all about feces, sanitation, and anal/hand hygiene. Is medical history repeating itself?
