Today i entered the bathroom at the gym. the toilet looked a bit dirty, and i left immediately. i was wearing a kn95 mask, and opened the door with my elbow. i was in there for less than a minute. could i have picked up a virus?

Little or no risk -- conceivably a tiny risk of COVID, cold or influenza, but only if an infected person had been in the bathroom a couple of minutes before you were. Certainly no risk of any other infection of any kind.
