El Mundo en RecuperaZIHón

Zihuatanejo has totalled 214 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 31 confirmed deaths. The IMSS hospital keeps saying it's full.

Seeing more people each day using facemasks, which is encouraging. Streets are still mostly empty, and I believe the total vacation lodging occupancy for Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa is around 20%.

Hopefully the city will have garbage containers placed on the pier soon. It's disappointing to see the folks in the morning leaving styrofoam coffee cups all over the place. Lots of seating and wider landings on the east side are good improvements. So are the solid rooftops, though it takes a while to get used to hearing the birds hopping around on the tin roofs.

Our mayor Jorge Sánchez says he tested negative for Covid-19, a huge relief, but that he is still suffering an undisclosed ailment and is resting for now, so we haven't heard much from him this week. We hope he recovers fully and soon.

How nice to be out on the pier again!
