As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,048 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 72 that resulted in fatalities, and 54 cases that are currently active. The decrease in new cases over the previous consecutive two weeks continues. There are fewer Covidiots running around and it's making a difference. A bummer to see the streets so empty, but folks are still staying home as much as possible. Hard to do in this beautiful place.
There was no fresh fish at the market this morning because none of the fishermen went out the night before, but there were still a few drunks and Covidiots hanging around the waterfront. At least the palm trees have all been trimmed so we don't have to worry about killer coconuts for a while.
In spite of all our defects and shortcomings here, I still wake up each day not just the happiest man on the planet beside my lovely, fabulous and inspiring saint of a wife, but surely the luckiest gringo in Mexico.
It's really hard to watch some of our old friends lose their businesses as the economy remains mostly closed. Presidente López Obrador says he will present his economic restart plan in a couple of weeks. I know many people are working hard so that we can move to the Semáforo Amarillo like Quintana Roo is doing. Keeping fingers crossed.
As conditions continue to improve and a vaccine looks to become a reality in the coming months, I hope many of you are making your vacation plans, at least tentatively, and I hope you'll consider sending a deposit for any lodgings or services you're considering. A little help goes a long way right now.
