Zihuatanejo registered its 113th confirmed Covid-19 case today and its 14th fatality due to the disease. Amanda Reglado Rincón was one of those lost today. She was a cherished friend of many including my wife.

Each day I see more people using facemasks and practicing social distancing. Not all, but the message is definitely getting through and it's encouraging to see folks responding positively.

With the rains of course come mosquitos, and last evening was the first evening they were more than a brief nuisance. Hopefully the ayuntamiento will be spraying soon since there is also an outbreak of dengue going on in Guerrero, apart from the everpresent chikungunya and zika. So if you plan on dancing on your rooftop or in your garden in the evenings like we do, keep your skeeter tweeters (Raidolitos) handy for burning or put poison on your skin if you're so inclined.

Remember, many local restaurants are offering take-out and delivery services, so please help support our local businesses because lots of local families depend on them. Let me know of your recommendations if I don't list a restaurant that you like, and if you find any errors please let me know.
