Experts say one way to address the spread could be to invest in greater access to public toilets. Today, we’re revisiting a conversation senior producer Giulia Fiaoni had with our executive producer, John Notarianni, about The Portland Loo. It’s a new kind of public restroom, invented right here in Portland, that cities are adopting all over the country.
