As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 2,313 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 188 that have resulted in fatalities, 36 that are currently active, and approximately 1,941 that have recovered. I'd say the Semana Santa bump was just a blip. Certainly no spike.

It seems like we had quite a bit of tourism this weekend, though they were mostly busloads of day-trippers and one-night stands. But it made the town look busy even though most businesses weren't.

Political campaigns are underway in the region, so don't be alarmed at large groups of noisy people chanting in streets and plazas as they pretend our politicians care about them.

Today was a little warmer, a bit more humid and a tad smokier than yesterday. I'd say the change of seasons soon come.

Lots of egrets and other estuarine birds were breakfasting in Canal La Boquita this morning where high waves have been washing over the sand bar into mouth of the canal.
