As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,836 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (12 more than yesterday), 146 that have resulted in fatalities, 54 that are currently active, and approximately 1,514 that have recovered. As of yesterday the hospital's Covid-19 facilities were operating at 40% capacity. La Unión is finally registering one active case while Petatlán registers 10.

If we had been under Semáforo Rojo instead of Amarillo and had bars closed and large gatherings prohibited over the holidays, I don't think we'd be in a virtual though modified Semáforo Rojo now. But as things stood it was to be expected, though I think it's a little late acknowledging it.

The morning air had a bit of a nip in it before sunrise this morning. Almost made me wish I'd had Bernie's mittens.

Still not a peep from the authorities about the incredible ecocide they committed in Plaza Olof Palme. Cowards. #AsíNo, Jorge

From what I understand, this February the elderly and the elderly-in-name-only (ahem) will begin receiving their vaccinations. It looks like the general public will get the Sputnik-V vaccine, which makes sense since it's more easily transportable. I expect that will continue through till the beginning of summer since there are so many of us. By then private initiative and some states should also have access to purchasing vaccines to take up the slack.

This still looks like a relatively safe place to be compared to what's still going on in the big cities. For those of you anxious for warmth and fresh seafood, I believe you can pretty well take your pick among the vacation lodgings available. Not many have reservations, and some have brought their rates down.

A scene I shall always cherish and miss for many years to come.
