Company manager Rodolfo Gómez said he was inspired to find a way to help after watching events unfold recently in nearby Ecuador.
Families in the coastal city of Guayaquil waited with dead loved ones in their homes for days last month as COVID-19 cases surged. Many could not find or were unable to afford a wood coffin, using donated cardboard ones instead.A company in Colombia has designed a cardboard box that it says can serve as both a hospital bed and a coffin.Gómez said he plans to donate 10 of his new beds to Colombia’s Amazonas department, where resources are in short supply.
The Bogota-based company is usually at work on advertisements but has been mostly paralyzed over the last month as Colombia remains on lockdown. The South American nation has reported nearly 9,500 confirmed cases of the virus. The beds can hold 330 pounds and will cost about $85 each, Gómez said. He said he worked with a private clinic on the design, which he hopes will be put to use in emergency clinics that might become short on beds.
At least one doctor was skeptical of how sturdy a cardboard bed might be. He also warned that any corpses should first be placed in a sealed bag before being put in a cardboard coffin to avoid potentially spreading the disease.
Ivanka probably has a share in this company.
Don’t let IvankaTrump see. She’ll want the patent
Man we really need a new direction.
No way...if the hospital is going to bill me, at least, offer me a regular bed
Very 2020
How practical!
Guess that's ingenuity rather than creepy.
Dear Colombia, Please just stick to coffee and cocaine. Thanks
Just what I always wanted. Sign me up. Said no one EVER!
Ohhh for gods sake who thought that was a good idea !
Always ready to die!!! This is my Colombia!!!!
well, there's another nightmare in the making 💀

What for?
Can we just start referring to them as the “Trump Bed”? It fits the bill, it’s cheaply made, tacky and even though it might not directly kill you, it really doesn’t care if you’re alive or dead.
Wow.
Efficiency at work.
ABC FAKE THIS ONE ALSO LOL
Oh good. That sounds nice😳
I would be frightened to death when I were put on to it, even if I could walk myself.
That's totally messed up, a good part of recovery is mental strength. How would anyone be at ease when they go to sleep? Treatment as an archaic factory process will not work.
Are you sure Jared Kushner didn't trademark this first?
Grim... but efficient... but grim.
Talk about giving up hope.
Did Ivanka get the patent for it yet?
Wow, can people atleast live their last moments in some sense of peace, and not in a to-go coffin.
so a patient would sleep in it. If he dies in his sleep, just put the lid on, and ship him out. good process but impersonal.
Good times.
Kinda like the cholera cots?
Or just cremate
Our future
Ingenious
That’s psychologically messed up!
That's interesting. 😐
A single bed/coffin?
Only convenient for a cremation.
Since every human on earth is going to die this product should be for everyone
Its called the 'Cuomo' NY just bought 20,000 for their nursing homes that were forced to take covid infected patients
Order up millions for the south they are cut off from federal aid starting in January.
We just buried my dad....no funeral....just a burial in a coffin and it was 10k$!!! Funerals are a fucking rip off!!
They are like the Boys Scouts, “always prepared” ... just in case

Better send some to Oklahoma...
