Taho Peddler: "A Job that Could be Gone in the Future?"

It seems that this kind of job will be gone soon. I am becoming a gossiper because of this coronavirus. Among the 100 confirmed cases, two of them are taho peddlers. If you are not familiar with this food, 'taho' is called soy or beancurd. I hope they are not the ones who spread the virus. If they do, this job will be gone soon. Do you have this kind of food in your country? Image Credit: pepper.ph

It is very possible that they have been infected by their client, touching the money, I see no reason why they should be those who spread the virus, two cases out of 100 is not a large number.

It was just an assumption, my friend. They are the ones who walk around the neighborhood in different places here.

@LadyDuck I think they do, but I am not sure about this assumption.

I think that the product itself is not infectious. But the peddler might be the one who is carrying the virus and spreading it while selling his product.

@Shavkat True times have changed and we need to make sure that we have to be extremely careful.

They are the carriers and had spread the virus by going from one place to another. This morning, my mom told me that others were having drinking sessions and infected one another.

It's a tough job for them and it becomes more dangerous nowadays.

@Shavkat Everybody is actually vulnerable to the virus so we all have to be very cautious.

I agree. I do not have details about these two taho peddlers since the local news are not that into elaborating things lately.

Nice picture. Did you take that picture. Anyways i actually avoid it for the reason that the one selling it have been infected already. Though i was tempted to buy it many times because its my favorite. Even morning and afternoon i would hear someone shouting taho. He is riding a pedicab. Those who still carry it on their shoulders its so heavy, its not good for them carrying such heavy whole day.
