How my Personal Space Protector can prevent the swine flu

Some people haven't yet connected the idea of having personal space to that of avoiding diseases.

Just in case you're one of them, or want to know more:

Ask your doctor or check medical websites.

KEEPING A SAFE DISTANCE FROM INFECTED INDIVIDUALS is the #1 measure to prevent infectious diseases from being spread! They say "Avoid contact with infected individuals" or so. The idea is: KEEP A SAFE DISTANCE from infected people (and you NEVER know who is infected) and stay safe. That's how my Personal Space Protector acts against diseases. You keep that safe distance.

The whole thing reminds me of when, in the Middle Ages, people didn't know that washing hands could save lives. Something so simple...!

Sometimes the smallest things are the ones that we're missing in order to have a better world. Of course I'd prefer to live in a planet where people could be polite and give each other personal space without having to wear something for that. Unfortunately, the world isn't like we all wish it were, and I, by myself, can't change it. Although, yes, I try to do my part!!
;)
As I can't change people's behavior (which I also try), I at least came up with an object that can protect us.

Check these links - just illustrating what I said before about the swine flu x distance from infected individuals:

Personal Space Protector on Pacific Beach / Mission Beach, San Diego, California. July - August, 2009

I designed PERSONAL SPACE protector to be water resistant. It won't get rusty even if you try the worst enemy of metals in general: salt water!



It's so funny when everybody is watching me and when I look at them, they pretend they're not.. or when people take pictures of me and run away..
Hey everbody: It's ok for me if you take pictures. I understand this isn't something you see everyday!!! ;)






* Please notice my Personal Space also hold my flip-flops for me!!
