Of course the big difference between cancer and covid-19 is that the former kills people of all ages whilst the latter mostly kills only the very old or those already suffering illnesses such as cancer ....

The japanese style toilets have this integrated and do it in a carefully planned way with no spilling or accidents. They can then dry the arsehole and even perfume it to your taste.
