As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,533 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 123 that have resulted in fatalities, 3 that are currently active, and approximately 1,305 that have recovered. Guerrero has only 13% of its Covid-19 beds with ventilators occupied, and only 22% of its Covid-19 beds occupied. Even with the problems in Acapulco, we appear to be doing much better than most of the nation, especially in Zihuatanejo.

Though we are still mostly staying at home, while out walking our daughter's dogs I couldn't help but notice that most locals continue using facemasks while visitors seem much more lax. Although the local government says it's urging people to abide by the obligatory facemask mandate, I have yet to see them do so other than play a recording in police vehicles as they drive past. But the presidente keeps asking people to voluntarily cooperate, and it seems to be making a difference.

Surprised no one has mentioned the peso holding below 20 per dollar for the first time in months. Planned private and public investment for the coming year announced recently has had a positive effect on economic forecasts for México.

I don't know how we stand so much perfect weather and enticingly clear and calm bay waters. We just grit our teeth and bear it. What's a po' bo' to do?

If by chance you feel like coming back to life with us, I can recommend some great lodgings doing a good job keeping their guests healthy.
