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.

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.Gomez said he plans to donate 10 of his new beds to Colombia's Amazonas department, where resources are in short supply. So far there is no indication whether the beds will be put to use and no orders have been placed.

Oh goody

I guess you can clear the fake evidence quickly !! Why would you even report this. You guys are becoming the Canadian CNN !

Literal death bed. Michael Scott would hate this.

Cool idea

Sick

Yea like Austin power dr Evil just push a butom

That is messed up.

Oh that’s encouraging.

Those will be needed in Brazil

Now that's creepy

Jeez,,,kinda morbid,,,as a patient,,I'd be freaking!

So what patient dies, push button, body falls below and then new patient lays down on bed? 😂 I wonder if the new patient knows there is a dead body under them. creepy

The El Pragmatico 9000? Great model. You sleep like the dead. It’s an Al Muerte design.

Like seriously!! Think of recovering on coffin bed 🙄🙄

This company failed to recognize the psychological trauma for the patient knowing they are lying on a ‘death bed’. The intention lacks sensitivity & causes distress on patient treatment.

Talk about the cart before the horse...jeesh. 🤣

Coffin bed? Pass. Not a big fan of their neckties either.

Thought the world was coming to it's senses but all just spinning towards Coronaviuis over$$$ if Coronaviuis death is not on said 'F en' bed, hospitals can kill EMS anyhow...

Think about dying while you rest ....

Not sure where to go with this one.

That’s the last thing I need!

Sick and disgusting. Great message to those in need for health care

I'm wearing pants that double as a diaper

Wait, wut?

That's morbid

This is a sick joke right

No thank you.

This is because the Colombian health system is so bad

That's so friggin disgusting. Whatever happened to human decency and compassion?

It doesn’t look comfortable as either...

🤣🤣🤣🤣

soooo inappropriate! the patients will be very uncomfortable

With a hidden compartment for your....

Is this a true story? Go to bed, wake up in a coffin

Is this an Onion article ?

Yo we will make and sell ANYTHING. We ain’t shitttttttt lmaooo 😭😭

How comforting.

Its been more than 1.5 months, we r stuck here in Chandigarh India 6 people. 2 seniors of 77 and 70 yrs, 2 kids of 7 and 12 yrs, and me and my wife. Please help. +14168237126/+919915542106

Not exactly a pastoral approach to hospital care!

Wow that’s so reassuring!

Where else ?

Super efficient

I’m here for the comments

I was JUST saying to my husband how our sleep isn’t morbid enough.

really makes me feel optimistic!!

Grim sign of the times.

Falling dreams just got a little scarier..

That's just...creepy. Ickk!

Creepy

Why would you write such a miserable article, I gotta stop following ctvnews this is just to depressing an not news worthy at all, they just wanna draw criticism to test thier ratings or something.

Are you people choosing to buy into this garbage or are all of you seriously broken when it comes to the critically thinking department? ALL OF THIS NOISE IS A DISTRACTION.

Happy to know my funeral won’t cost much!

So it’s die at home, without wreaking a good bed, less spreading of virus, put the body on the street in a box

This is great...so you can die in your sleep?

This is really depressing

What now?

No thank you

No thanks! WTF?

Damn!! They beat me to it.😁

glass half-full? no wait....

Cardboard made from the rare Yucaluca tree. This softwood takes 200 years to grow to maturity and there's only 2586 specimens left. Don't you just love crazy liberals up here in Canada who want to hang you for drinking out of a plastic straw while savages elsewhere plunder?

Um no thanks

Do they have a ten year warranty?

Omg 😱

Imagine that conversation wife - no honey, you're not gonna die spouse - why the special bed then w - you're sick. now, let's wrap you up in this nice plastic sheet sp - is that a body bag? w - laughs - no - silly sp - why the zipper? why does bed have handles AND a lid?

Some things just shouldn’t be invented.

Morbid much!!!!

That’s terrible. You know if they put you in that your dun. No thanks😕

One stop shopping!

I'd rather die in my own bed than on one of those
