Currently Zihuatanejo is registering 307 active cases of Covid-19. However, it was called to my attention that one of the main testing facilities at the Clínica El Embalse simply stopped testing. Maybe they ran out of tests. Maybe they simply don't want to add any more numbers that would force the government to declare Guerrero in Semáforo Rojo. It's suspicious, because so many people are commenting in our local coconut telegraph that they have family members, co-workers and employees who are ill.

Still no word on when the vaccine will be available for 18-29añeros, but the government is saying "muy pronto" so I tend to believe it could be next week.

Last night when a storm passed by but didn't rain, it sucked along a lot of the heat with it, and while today was another 33°C-in-the-shade day, it was less stuffy and more tolerable than yesterday which was brutal, though apparently still not as bad as was recently registered in parts of the Pacific Northwest and northern USA. For those who are here, move slowly and stay hydrated.

The sun rises quick and bright on a clear summer day in Zihuatanejo.

This is Kiki, the chihuahua our daughter rescued when she saw a woman leave her out with the garbage in Ixtapa. We're calling today her 15th birthday. Su quinceañera. ¡Felicidades Kiki!
