As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,805 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (3 more than yesterday), 139 that have resulted in fatalities, 48 that are currently active, and approximately 1,498 that have recovered. Hopefully we've passed the hump of the spike.

As was already mentioned, our Presidente Andrés Manuel López Obrador has tested positive for Covid-19. He describes his symptoms as mild. Since he enjoys relatively good health for his age it's possible he will not suffer the virus badly. We wish him a swift recovery without lasting effects or complications.

Although we saw some busloads of people arriving Friday and Saturday, today seemed relatively calm for a Sunday. We continue seeing too many young people and visitors including a few foreigners not wearing facemasks when out walking around downtown. Bars in the area seem to attract way too many people who appear not to abide at all with the obligatory facemask mandate. Unfortunately careless young people who feel fearless and immune tend to infect others including their elderly relatives, and that's a damn shame everywhere. If we go back to Semáforo Rojo they will be the reason why.

The waves have picked back up a bit and the last two evenings they provided lovely sleeping "music" after what seems like weeks of almost no waves.

Today was another day of absolutely picture postcard perfect weather!

For those who are here be sure to take advantage of our local whalewatching charters for the experience of a lifetime.

Not looking forward to seeing this beautiful area covered with tons of cement that no one wants or asked for. I think it looks quite nice without any structures at all.
