As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,558 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 124 that have resulted in fatalities, 7 that are currently active, and approximately 1,323 that have recovered. It looks like folks are taking good enough care of themselves to keep the virus from getting out of control here.

Somehow most of us seem to be getting by here on reduced income, reduced mobility and reduced socializing. Many businesses are still not open, some because they can't afford to buy inventory to sell, others because they are respecting sanitary protocols and don't want their places of business to become potential hot zones, and others simply went out of business. It'll take years to rebuild Zihuatanejo's economy, but first our "authorities" responsible for attracting tourists need to learn how to attract more than simply busloads of people with almost no money to spend. One planeload is easily better than 10 busloads, but since our public servants get paid whether they do their jobs well or not, they seem not to care. They continue touting the "Blue Flag" and "certified" beaches which continue to run off families with pets at the absolute worst time in our history.

It's whalewatching time of the year again!
