As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,350 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (3 more than yesterday), 191 that have resulted in fatalities, 26 that are currently active, and approximately 1,987 that have recovered.

Our amazingly delicious tropical weather continues, but this morning and much of the day the smell of smoke was apparent. It's usually stronger in the early morning when the thermal inversion pushes it down towards the ground. It won't be long until the humidity arrives and the breezes die down while we pass through a period of doldrums as the southern air arrives. A shame we keep losing oxygen-producing trees to "remodelaciones" and "development". This is the time of year when every tree matters.

The vaccination process continues, and news reports say it seems to be moving along smoothly and quickly. Next week the teachers of the Costa Grande of Guerrero are supposed to get vaccinated.

The election campaigns also continue, and if anything is going to cause a spike in Covid-19 virus infections locally it will be self-centered politicians encouraging large reunions in neighborhood after neighborhood at a crucial time just so they can get their photos taken with crowds. It's barely begun and I'm already disgusted with the circus show as I'm sure others are, especially with what's happening in the race for gobernador de Guerrero.

The smoke in the air made for an incredibly red sun at sunrise.
