Coronavirus Fear: Would You Use This Portable Tent?
Are you nervous about a possible infection with the corona virus *? Measured against the total population, there are currently very few people in Germany. In addition, they understand almost no symptoms. Yes, whether justified or not: with a tent you can protect yourself against the virus - albeit in a very absurd way .
It is a travel tent. It looks like a cube made of plastic film that is transparent on the sides. You just slip in, zip up and you're protected from the infectious environment. The travel tent is called Stadiumpod , meaning "stadium sleeve " in German. So the part was apparently originally designed for a situation in the stadium to protect spectators from rain. The description says: "The stadium pod is the ideal alternative to an umbrella and leaves your hands free to enjoy a lemonade or hot dog. In addition, our weatherproof design is fully enclosed and elastic at the waist to keep your torso warm. "

Like in a cocoon, people can finally isolate themselves from their fellow human beings. If you feel like something close, you can open the zippers and fold down the films like a window.
So why not use the travel tent to protect against viruses *? Those who are reluctant to stay in the company of people because they are afraid of being infected (with whatever) can sit down in this tent, for example on a plane .
The company's CEO, Rick Pescovitz, has already tested this. His brother David Rick Pescovitz explained to the portal The Sun. "My brother wanted to see how his StadiumPod, which was intended for seated spectators at sports games, would work on an airplane," said the brother. "He told me that the flight attendant was happy to take a picture of him and that the man sitting next to him didn't even blink ."
Opinions about this use were mixed among users on Facebook . One writes enthusiastically: "This is great! I want to wear it all day in public and pretend that I can't see people." When asked by a user whether this was even allowed on the plane, Rick Pescovitz replied: "I had no problems or concerns from flight attendants or other passengers. A few laughs and a lot of 'I need something like this."
