Next-level protection: Anti-Covid HELMET uses space technologies to stop virus in its tracks (VIDEO):
The futuristic headgear is intended for use by people who are most vulnerable and who "really live their daily lives with a lot of risk" of getting sick, aeronautical engineer, Andres Felipe Giraldo, told RT's Ruptly video agency.
Yet, according to the helmet's co-creator, Ricardo Andres Conde, it will also fit "anyone who wants to protect him or herself" from the disease, which has already infected around 296,000 and killed over 10,000 people in Colombia.
[...] The helmet consists of a plastic structure, an electrical fitting, filters and a battery to allow for circulation of clean, uncontaminated air inside. While it may look big and bulky, it weighs just 650 grams (22.9 oz) and allows the user to talk on the phone without any complications as the video proves.
I especially liked the part in the video where they are wearing masks while assembling the helmets. Unfortunately the masks have exhaust valves...

Unless, you are asymptomatic, in your space suit, and you can't get out, and you are re-infecting yourself! Building up such a huge mass of viral load, that eventually you and your suit explode, spreading the virus to a range not normally possible. And they say viruses are too stupid to think, and come up with propagation strategies that take advantage of paranoic conservatives, and Brazilians.

At which point you will be spaced out.
