If you're of a certain age, at least in the States, the total number of doses is six, The initial series of three, one original booster and two bivalent boosters. It appears as if come fall there will be a new monovalent booster, which will not contain either the original or omicron variant. It is likely that there will be annual boosters to the currently prominent strain, similar the the annual influenza vaccine which usually contains three (rarely four) strains. The development of the mRNA vaccines is a huge medical advance. There is current research related to additional mRNA vaccines, even including some types of cancer and Salmonella and Shigella which are especially prominent in developing countries.

Look what you started Rob. Here comes out all the medical and just general knowledge experts again. The one thing they should have learned is that nobody wants to hear it. Not saying they’re wrong, just that nobody is listening.

Then nobody needs to read the posts, do they? Methinks the Cruise Ship Guy protests too much.

Not me I took all 5 vaccines, followed the guidelines of the hospital that I work at and never got Covid. Never said the above was wrong just that some people can’t face the truth. The greatest generation is gone and we are left with a bunch of free thinkers, which I have other names for.

Hola Rob
Seems to me that the covid numbers are really rising. Are any of the usual precautions ( masks, spacing at restaurants, etc ) being taken?

No Covid-19 report from the state health officials today.

Is it just me? Are COVID numbers on the way up?

According to the stat at the bottom of his post, 90 people wanted to read Dr Tim's thoughts. That's not nobody.

I’m a physician, while I’m not an epidemiologist, I’m pretty knowledgeable about Covid. The attitude you express is a very common one. Unfortunately Covid continues, partly based on similar attitudes combined with folks not taking reasonable precautions and not updating their vaccines.

During two weeks in France and a couple days in England very few folks were masked. The folks on the tour with us, for the most part, masked on the bus. There were two couples who didn’t. When in crowds either inside or out we mask. We mask on planes during boarding and deplaning. Once the HEPA filters are engaged planes should be reasonably safe.

Many Graces, Senor Medico! The difference between San Diego and Tijuana used to be striking with almost no one wearing masks in San Diego and almost everyone wearing masks in Tijuana. Not anymore, although still more wear masks south of the dividing line. Denial ain't only a river in Egypt!

The actual numbers everywhere are probably substantially higher. Very little testing is taking place and folks are being very casual about it. We know a woman who contacted it in Hawaii and actually flew home within 5 days of testing positive. We just returned from a Rick Steves Europe tour. A couple who was doing back to back tours had to cancel our tour because they got Covid on the first tour. Through the end of May about 2.1% of the folks on Rick Steves tours got Covid while on the tour. Luckily, the new variants seem to be much less severe. We avoid crowds as much as possible, and mask when we can’t. We always mask on public transit and indoors. We’ve had all of the vaccinations available to us including the second bi-valent booster. If you are of a “certain age” or have other health issues it’s probably best to continue to be careful. I suspect younger people can be less worried unless of course they are around high risk people they could then give Covid.

Guerrero's health officials confirm 44 currently active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 4 in La Unión, 1 in Petatlán, 2 in Técpan, 2 in Atoyac, 3 in Coyuca de Benítez, 72 in Acapulco, and 196 in the entire state. Yep, something's going on in Zihuatanejo all right. Please take precautions when in enclosed environments.

The 3rd heat wave of the season continues with no relief in sight. 35°C is the local high, though I'd have to say all the damn cement downtown is probably adding at least another couple of degrees to what is being registered at the airport or wherever the weather reporting stations are located. Slight chance of rain from Saturday to Tuesday, but most forecasts don't show a high possibility of rain until Saturday of next week, which is too far off to predict anything accurately at these latitudes. A glance at the weather map shows the third tropical wave of the season passing well to the south, same as the first two, and unlikely to affect us directly. Normally all these tropical waves would be giving us a much better chance of some rain, but they remain too far south. Remember to drink plenty of water!

Paradise may have once been lost, but when you arrive at this lodging you'll know you've truly found it. Casa Escondida offers a 2-bedroom home, a 2-bedroom apartment, and two 1-bedroom bungalows all designed in local tropical styles. This incredible property is located on Troncones Beach a short walk from the village. Features a pool, ceiling fans and hammocks on the porches. Rent the entire property or in parts.
