Pandemia Pandemonium in Zih

There could be a message here.
If you don't turn this up you're doing it wrong.

Tattooed jerk gringo who sounds just like Jesse Pink from Breaking Bad (and apparently strung out in the Outer Limits on something) in the street in front of our home screaming at 1:30 this morning "f*ck you f*ck you motherf*cking Pepe motherf*cker f*ck you f*ck you get back here goddamn motherf*cking motherf*cker...!!!" Over and over. Apparently some elderly gringo hanging out with tattooed jerk has adopted one of the beach dogs that chases motorcycles, and that's what happened last night as these two idiots were going who cares where while everyone was asleep. And of course when he caught the dog he kicked it which prompted a loud response from me, but I think he thought the booming voice he heard was his conscience because he didn't react directly, instead he calmed down and started telling the dog he loved it. If anyone knows him tell him he needs to LEAVE before he gets himself hurt or worse.

Be aware that Zihuatanejo's Hospital General has been designated as the regional receiving hospital for Covid-19 cases, meaning anyone suspected of having the virus or of coming in contact with anyone who has the virus will be put into isolation there until they either get tested and come out negative or until they no longer have the virus. The state and municipal governments have been working to prepare this hospital for what's to come. Private hospitals around the country are also working with the government to offer bedspace and facilities under the umbrella of the federal government's universal healthcare plan.

Still no local cases of Covid-19 have been reported or diagnosed, but local authorities are awaiting test results of a patient admitted to our Hospital General a couple of days ago from Petatlán.

Please, be careful with chismes. The only official source we are interested in here in Mexico is our Secretaría de Salud.

The suspected case from Petatlán turned out negative, but a new case arrived, someone coming from Chilpancingo, and they are in isolation awaiting test results.

Thanks for sharing this Rob. Thinking of all you guys.

What is current status of traffic in and out of Zihua? Auto? Bus? Air? Up and down 200? Rumor on the street is total lock down/lock out?

The right of free transit is constitutional, and only the Presidente can modify it for reasons of a national emergency. He has not yet done so. Nevertheless, some communities such as Barra de Potosí, La Saladita, Troncones and La Majahua here on the Costa Grande, like other communities in Mexico, have taken it upon themselves to restrict access to residents and suppliers, turning away would-be tourists. I'm sure if some tourist wanted to take it to court they would win, but Mexico has a long tradition of respecting the rights of communities as well as the uses and customs of indigenous communities. We are not a litigious culture as our northern neighbors are, thank goodness, though I understand this is problematic for some folks who have moved here from those northern places.

The Guardia Nacional, Policía Estatal and the military are keeping an eye on the highways. They are politely asking tourists to consider returning home after informing them that our beaches are closed, but they are not forcing them to do so. They have also been patrolling the streets here in our town. Most of us in Guerrero are truly thankful for their sacrifice and service. Something we have wanted for decades. They deserve our gratitude.
