Look, I get it. We’ve all become amateur virologists. But fabric is not your enemy. It’s your ally. It traps the virus and suffocates it slowly.
Wash your sheets after you recover because you deserve fresh-smelling comfort, not because you’re scared. The virus is dead within a day anyway. Your pillowcase is innocent.
Now go drink some tea, change that shirt if it smells like a sad day, and take a nap. You’ve earned it. And remember: the flu can live on fabric, but your anxiety doesn’t have to.
