In the midst of the crisis that is the deadly and panic-spreading coronavirus, one Italian man used his wits and came up with a brilliant idea how to stay safe and protect himself.
As the world battles the pandemic, Italy has it the worst. The whole country is in isolation, everything is closed, the streets are empty, and the people are in quarantine.

The genius elderly man can be seen in a viral Instagram video seamlessly moving through a supermarket, with the giant circle around his waist, attached over his shoulders with straps.
