A Burger King in Germany figured handing out sombrero-sized crowns was the way to go.
A Parisian art gallery also took the silly hat route, but we saw some serious design flaws.
Not quite a hat, and technically more PPE than social distancing design, but a startup called VYZR Technologies decided a gigantic helmet was the way to go.
How do you social distance in a nightclub? You can’t, so creative consultancy Production Club proposed the Micrashell concept. The personal protective suit would pipe the music (and vape fumes) directly into the helmet.
Meanwhile, this guy at a Whole Foods in Maui went overboard (literally) with his own personal protective suit.
A company called Under the Weather adapted their personal pods for sporting event spectators into a line of wearables.

On the domestic front, the need to social distance unexpectedly inspired a series of more neighborly fence designs.
As Halloween rolled around, this guy came up with a zipline delivery system for trick-or-treaters.
DIY “candy chutes” also became a thing.
Holding children’s birthday parties seems like a crazy thing to do during a pandemic, but that didn’t stop this dentist from inventing a line of plastic protective shields for cakes.
