A Colombian ad company has recently manufactured a 2-in-1 product amid the Coronavirus pandemic. According to The Associated Press (AP, US), ABC Displays released a cardboard hospital bed with metal railings. It is a unique combination between a hospital bed and a coffin.
Rodolfo Gómez, as a leader of ABC Displays, said the bed’s design allows users to use it as both a hospital bed and a coffin. This product aims at poor families who can’t afford to buy a coffin for their relatives in the Coronavirus pandemic.
Rodolfo Gómez further said his company has planned to give 10 cardboard hospital beds to those in need.
However, there haven’t been any specific detail on whether these products are applied in reality or not.
ABC Displays reveals their products weigh up to 150 kg and they are sold at $85 (about Rs6,400) for each.
The company’s employees are testing the stability of the new-generation bed.
In spite of its high applicability, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic, these cardboard hospital beds are still facing users’ concerns about their stability. According to an unknown doctor, corpses must be kept in a close bag before being placed into a cardboard coffin in a bid to avoid the epidemic outbreak.
In addition, many may not feel happy as their hospital beds have the same meaning as coffins. Even lots of patients possibly tend to become more panic when using such an odd bed.
