@Alexandoy That is what I thought, because if they penalized the vendor who did not wear the mask I imagine also the clients must wear their mask.

@LadyDuck you are right. Everyone in a public place should wear a mask otherwise you can face arrest.

That picture was taken last January before the virus era. That is in the Sunday market where we buy meat.

Yes, she said to me although a hard lesson of not earning for 1 week.

@amitkokiladitya the public will learn but slowly. It takes years for everyone to follow the rules. I have seen that in the pedestrian crossing. Since I was a boy we have the pedestrian lane where you can cross the street. But until now I see some people crossing the street far from the pedestrian lane.

@Alexandoy Perhaps people are not careful to it like before. Especially it is hot now, some of them may not want to wear a mask.

@youless to be honest, I am irritated with the mask that I get rashes on my face.

More likely she will not allow her brother to handle the stall anymore. That was on her day off.

I hope she can find someone she can trust to handle her stall while she takes a day off @Alexandoy

@rebelann her brother is the best to be trusted but it was an accident to remove the mask. That's a neat lesson for everyone in the market.

At least the fish vendor has learned from the error and will be taking steps to make sure it does not happen again.

Yes, she said that it was a big lesson to them since 1 week of no business is difficult.

@DocAndersen the number of cases in the US is staggering with more than 50,000 new cases in just one day. I don't see it good anymore as if the country is doomed.

Oh, that is too harsh to be fined a hundred dollars much more if a couple of a hundred.

@id_peace that is good if the fine is affordable and will not compromise their food budget.

Two things: 1) nobody in the photo is wearing a mask. Have they not learned their lesson? And 2) That's the funniest looking fish I have ever seen hanging there in their stall.

I don't see any fish in the picture. 
Is this a picture of a different vendor? Sucks that the stall was closed because of something her brother did.

If you don't see the fish maybe the market had closed it down and the meat vendor had taken its place, waheehee.

@lovebuglena, Yes, that is what I am wondering here too of where is the fish there, and why all meat? Maybe he is buying in a meat section of there public market in his place.

That man in the market is not the same as the guy who was shot by a cop.

No one here fights with the authority because one person was already killed by the cop for not following what the cop commands.
