However, some groups have expressed optimism in assisting the governments in scaling down new infections by conceptualizing weird items to defend themselves from the lethal virus. These quirky, unusual objects are listed below:

Robocop with Thermal Helmets

Chinese scientists have implemented the usage of smart helmets for the Chinese police and government to fight the spread of the coronavirus and hold their people safe. Shenzen-based Kuang-Chi Technology delivered smart helmets that might be used by the police force in China. It will make sure to fast scan frame temperatures in crowds that assist deter and hit upon the spread of the virus. Kuang-Chi Technology is known for its metamaterials, which can be used for more than just space communications and wireless technologies, as proven by way of the usage of the high-quit helmets that the police are using right now.

There is a conceptual design that was created by using a Chinese architect, Sun Dayong. It is a shield that claims that it is able to defend the wearer during an outbreak. Named 'Be a Bat Man,' the safety device could be used for "folks who are uncovered to the damaging situation in the course of the coronavirus emergency," said Sun Dayong, who has a co-based architecture studio, Penda. The shield could be made from carbon fiber supports formed like batwings that could be worn like a backpack. A PVC movie might stretch among these helps, just like the membrane of a bat's wing. Wires embedded inside the plastic might heat as much as a temperature high enough to kill any pathogens on them, developing a sterile surroundings interior for the wearer.
