This piece includes small fabric lines of what I’ve been calling the “Corona Virus “ fabric. I purchased this Black and White fabric many months ago – well before the pandemic.

So far no luck finding more of the fabric.

So SIMPLIFY – “If You Need to Ask . . . Wear a Mask!” the likelyhood of spread with a mask goes down to 3.1%.
