Don't Worry, By The Time The Next Pandemic Strikes We'll All Have Wearable Shields

Howdy folks and greetings from the Great Plains of North Texas!

That's right, an architecture firm in China has designed what they call a "Wearable Shield" which will kill any deadly viruses with it's UV Radiation. Supposedly.

It hasn't been tested yet but they're looking for volunteers in case you're interested. lol.

Here's what this contraption looks like. I find it goofy looking but hey, if it saves lives...

Can you imagine New York City or Tokyo's bustling streets with everyone wearing these things, bouncing off each other? lol.

The top, bottom and back are open too, not sure how that would work.

Here's a view from above:

Plus it looks a little heavy to me. I guess if you're frail or a petite female you're out of luck.

You'd have to have good balance too, because you couldn't use your hands to steady yourself!

I like the concept, but they may need a better method of creating personal bubbles though. Although UV light does kill flu viruses and they have large lamps for buildings and so forth.

I really have a hard time seeing myself wearing one of these, how about you guys? lol.

Thanks for stopping by folks, God bless you all!

PS- Here's a bit of good news from the Aldi grocery store chain. I've been impressed by their move to more natural and organic products and now they've gone even farther.

They just announced that the packaging of their suppliers must be 100% recyclable, compostable, or reusable by the year 2025. That's gonna take some doing so it'll be interesting to see what they come up with.
