Serious question - can coronavirus spread through farts? i walked past someone who farted but was brief exposure.

Hmmm...: One reason people who wear face masks (doesn't have to be N95 type) help prevent coronavirus spread in the community is because they inhale fewer particles or droplets, and also because they exhale, sneeze, and cough into a mask that blocks their own droplets (infected or not) from flying through the air. With face masks in mind, consider underwear plus a pair of jeans an effective "butt mask."

Not sure: The virus has been found in fecal matter. I have not heard of any transmission via this route.
