As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,503 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 117 that have resulted in fatalities, 6 that are currently active, and 1,267 that have recovered. Guerrero currently registers 7.7 cases per 100,000 people.

For some reason part of the local Covid-19 data that used to be available on a daily basis has been unavailable for the past couple of days. I'm hoping this is just a glitch.

I've seen the schematics for the plans for Plaza del Artista. They essentially want to remove all the dirt and make it all concrete, with small round planters for the 3 trees there (doubtless cutting most of their roots and reducing their access to what little water falls there so they'll eventually die) and thin green spaces that cling to the walls, removing the large dirt areas currently in the middle of the plaza and reducing the dirt areas currently on both sides. I am currently unable to spend time at the Ayuntamiento petitioning they not do this, but I have communicated directly to them via public channels that they should consult with the affected neighbors. They have never acknowledged mine nor any other neighbor's comments but instead tried to dismiss us. Apparently the money earned from this opaque project is more important than what the local residents think about it. My critique is kind compared to those of many other locals. Normally a truly representative politician would've met with us. You can bet we will make it a campaign issue for next year's elections.

If you feel like coming back to LIFE with us I know of some lovely trustworthy lodgings.
