Periódico Oficial del Estado de Guerrero 25 julio 2021

Still seeing high incidences of active infections. 403 currently active cases registered in Zihuatanejo. I expect numbers will come down with the new guidelines and the ongoing awareness campaigns. People want to be able to get back to their normal lives and try to earn a decent living. Lots more people wearing facemasks now. No one wants to go to the hospital. Fortunately even with the high number of active cases we aren't seeing a corresponding spike in deaths from Covid-19 thanks to the elderly being vaccinated.

The former gobernador of Guerrero René Juárez Cisneros died today from Covid-19 after being ill for a couple of months. A stark reminder that the virus doesn't care how rich, famous, influential or powerful you are.

Had a lovely rain last evening and this morning as well as another light shower early this evening to break the heat from La Canícula. Rain is always welcome during this hottest part of the year, but usually we don't see much until late August.

Didn't see any turtle tracks on Playa Principal this morning, but we were treated to a spectacular rainbow.
