A Colombian advertising company is pitching a novel if morbid solution to shortages of hospital beds and coffins during the coronavirus pandemic: combine them.
ABC Displays has created a cardboard bed with metal railings that designers say can double as a casket if a patient dies.
Company manager Rodolfo Gómez said he was inspired to find a way to help after watching events unfold recently in nearby Ecuador. More
Must give a sense of comfort to enter a hospital and be put in a coffin bed instead of a regular hospital bed.
A confidence inspiring sort to thing for the hospital to be doing.
How ’bout hospital beds at the morgue?

At the same time, that is an out of the box and in the box solution.
Years ago I read a story about a really bad traffic accident. There were so many injured they had to use hearses as ambulances. One guy was unconscious when they put him in a hearse. He came to on the way to the hospital and freaked out thinking he was dead because he was in a hearse.
Who ever thought of that must be a CAT person…you know how cats love cardboard boxes!
And the discarded product is 100% biodegradable.
How about hospital beds at the crematorium?
Scene at “The Ash Hole”, Manhattan’s biggest crematorium:
Truck Driver: Hey I got a truckload of patients here. Where do I unload them?
Crematorium director: Yep, bring ’em on in. They’ll each be a little pile of ashes pretty darn quick.
Doctor: Hey, this guy’s still got a pulse. He’s not ready to be cremated.
Crematorium director: Never mind that, Doc, we gotta keep ’em moving. We got an open oven so get him over here. There’s hundreds more we gotta burn up today to meet the Governor’s quota.
Makes sense if it’s Obutthole Care.
Reminds me of a guy I know who came up with a locker for keeping your motorcycle gear (helmet, leathers, etc) in and then when you die, it becomes a coffin with wheels and a hitch so your motorbike buddies could trailer you to the cemetery.
