| at this point I may as well laugh, it's so absurd, but my quarantining DH went up to take a shower, and then my teen about two hours later went into the same bathroom and used the towel to dry off his face aftre practice. Probably not the main way it's spread, right? Can it be spread through fabric?? DS immediately kind of freaked out, and I told him risk was minimal... |

| Have him rewash his face and wipe down the bathroom a few times a day. You will get it sharing a house, not necessarily a towel. |

| This can’t be a serious question. No you can’t get covid from a towel. |

This is so gross and why everyone in our family has different towels. I can’t imagine wiping my face with a towel someone used to dry their butt.
But no, op. He’s fine. |

Ahh the butt dryer has entered the chat. |

| Using the same bathroom is an issue because it entails sharing air. The towel is a distractor. |

After 2 hours, I doubt using the same bathroom is an issue either. |

| None of us have caught Covid from each other. Still only 3 of 4 have had it. |

| You didn't immediately wash the dirty towels after your husband showered? Gross. |

| Highly unlikely to get Covid from sharing a towel! |

Seriously you need to be taking your spousal duties far more seriously. You don’t want to end up cast out amongst the unwashed. |

Wiping? No. Rewashing the face? Please. You get covid from household members because of all the air sharing. It's almost 2023! Come on! |

SARS-Cov-2 is a lot less likely to stay active on surfaces than the RSV or monkeypox virus. It's not a very resistant virus structure, at all. So try not to worry, OP. |
