As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,478 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (7 more than yesterday), 107 that have resulted in fatalities, 24 that are currently active, and approximately 1,246 that have recovered.

The tourists showed up! So did the drunks who kept most of us downtown residents from getting a good night's sleep last night. Saw quite a few families and older folks walking the downtown streets today, many using facemasks (yay). It looks like we received some tourists with better purchasing power than we've seen lately, but since many shops are closed or gone our local economy can't prosper as much as it should.

Tomorrow is Día de Muertos and it's an official holiday, so banks and government offices will be closed. Since the Panteón Municipal is also closed, I'm curious why the bars are being allowed to remain open. Maybe because dead people and tomb cleaners don't pay as much in bribes as bars do. Ya think?

Come back to LIFE with us! Many lodgings have plenty of dates open and some are offering special deals if you ask. From Troncones to Puerto Vicente Guerrero, our region of the Costa Grande offers many amazing lodgings that I can personally recommend and that are owned and operated by honest, hard-working and trustworthy people.
