Ugh! Everyone is Sick…How to Keep Beds Sanitary and Cozy

According to Keren Landman, MD, it seems like everyone is sick right now. At least, we all have a few people in our lives who are battling “mild colds to more serious bugs.” And she’s right, the CDC recently released figures demonstrating that we’ve been “above baseline” in terms of reported respiratory illness for more than eight weeks.

This year we have RSV, flu, Covid-19 and a host of other suspects to deal with. Apparently, all of them are increasing a bit ahead of schedule and “a broader age group is turning up very sick, too.”

This means you may find yourself looking after someone, or even a few someones, stuck at home and combatting a seasonal illness. But, when someone is stuck at home on bed rest, it means that bedding could easily become a hiding spot for germs.
