As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,665 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (1 more than yesterday), 133 that have resulted in fatalities, 14 that are currently active, and approximately 1,408 that have recovered. It's my understanding that the Covid-19 section of our local Hospital General is not saturated above 50%, though the ISSTE hospital habitually is due to it offering less space. We still aren't in Semáforo Rojo, but if cases continue increasing we will be. Not many tourists in town at the moment to worry about.

Tomorrow local medical personnel in Guerrero will begin receiving vaccinations.

Last evening was cool. Excellent sleeping weather! Good for snuggling, too, which I highly recommend. Cloudcover kept our daytime temps down to a very pleasant warmth.

A moringa tree in the Plaza del Artista planted by a neighbor a few years ago for its shade and its medicinal uses was removed today against the wishes of local residents, artists and vendors. Day by day this obra de remodelación gets more and more intrusive, ridiculous and bothersome due to the lack of consideration by the local government for local sentiment, something we will remember.
