Beds can weigh up to 330 pounds.
An advertising company founded in Bogota, Colombia, recently introduced a double/coffin hospital bed to cover the shortage amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
An ABC Displays video shows the staff of cardboard and steel fabrics to join the bed. In the video, an employee poses on the most sensitive cardboard to illustrate the capacity of the bed.
Others then use steel bars to adjust the worker’s rest position and take it to the box, illustrating the coffin component of the device. RELATED: CoronavirusNOW.com, FOX launches national center for COVID-19 news and updates
According to Google’s translation of a message on its Facebook page, the corporate pointed out how the bed would contribute to the desire to strengthen the hospital’s capacity in Colombia, while emphasizing that the bed is 100 percent recyclable and biodegradable. However, the company noted that it hopes that it is not necessary to use the bedtime function.
The Bogota-based company works in advertisements, but has been more commonly paralyzed for the following month, while Colombia remains closed, according to a May 8 report through the Associated Press.
The beds can hold a weight of 330 pounds (150 kilograms) and will charge about $85 each, said Rodolfo Gómez, the company’s director. He said he had worked with a personally designed clinic, which he hoped would be used in emergency clinics that ran out of beds.

At least one doctor was skeptical about the strength of a cardboard bed. He also warned that all corpses are placed first in a sealed bag before being placed in a cardboard coffin to prevent the potential spread of the disease.
Colombia had more than 16,000 cases of COVID-19 and more than 600 deaths as of May 20, according to the most recent knowledge of the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. There have been more than 4.9 million cases shown and 324,000 COVID-19 deaths worldwide.
Even with these striking figures, the concept of a bed that functions as a coffin may seem morbid to many. But its progression highlights the excessive nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the concern that existing and long-term fitness resources may not be sufficient to address the existing crisis.
Hospitals around the world have faced a shortage of beds due to the influx of COVID-19 patients. From the Amazon city of Manaus to the metropolitan mecca of New York, reports show how mass graves are now home to others who died after contracting the new coronavirus.
In the United States, fitness officials in at least 35 states are below the directions of those who tested positive for COVID-19 with first responders.
The shortage of hospital beds was a specific fear amid the pandemic, and fitness encouraged Americans to cancel surgeries and elective procedures to lose space.
While new checkout hospitals have been created to fill existing and future gaps in the United States, many have been used at full capacity or planned.
Many services will now remain on hold for an imaginable moment of infections. Some may even switch to control sites or recovery centers. The Associated Press contributed to the report.
