Erik Frampton (46) actually runs a picture frame shop with his husband in New York. Because he was not allowed to open his shop because of the lockdown, he had to look for another job temporarily.

He also found it: He checked corona deaths in a refrigerated truck in front of a clinic for several days – it can hold up to 110 bodies. “A horror job,” as he told the radio station WNYC. “It’s all full of blood and feces that have leaked. The floor was full of it. “

“Blood and feces everywhere”
Frampton worked with other men in one of two air-conditioned 20-ton trailers. One of his tasks was to keep an inventory of the dead, as the website «Gothamist» writes. The 46-year-old reports terrible conditions. “They had no body bags and no more space. The heavy black body bags were replaced by very thin white bags – some were torn, ”he says.
–
Almost all of the corpses also had tubes in their bodies from the ventilators. For Fampton it is therefore clear: “Families should not know what happens to the remains of their loved ones in this situation.”
–
$ 100 an hour
The job was at $ 75 an hour – Frampton accepted without knowing what to expect. The hourly wage was later increased to $ 100. Because Frampton reported about his work on Facebook and in a radio interview, he was released after a few days.

What remains are the images in his head. He says it will take some time to digest all of this – the experience has changed him, he says. (bra)
