El PreZIHo del Descuido

Zihuatanejo currently has 481 active cases of Covid-19 while la Unión has 14 and Petatlán 18. Both of the latter send their patients that must be hospitalized to Zihuatanejo as does Coahuayutla which currently has zero active cases, and Coyuca de Catalán which currently has 27 active cases.

Still no word on the next batch of vaccines for locals.

Puerto Escondido has closed all its beaches and imposed fines for people not wearing facemasks at least until August 15th. They don't want tourists coming during the increased incidence of Covid-19 there. Here, even though our hospital's Covid-19 section is full and parts of the hospital don't even have A/C, all we're doing is running people off beaches at 7PM albeit only halfheartedly, and police only drive by a couple times downtown with their loudspeaker telling folks to wear their facemasks. But no real concrete measures beyond ineffective window dressing, though they are making noises about the bus and combi drivers wearing facemasks.

Saw turtle tracks on the beach this morning, but apparently someone walked off with the turtle because its tracks only arrived to where it nested, then they disappeared instead of returning to the water. Various fishermen know who the culprit is, but apparently the local government doesn't care because fishing and the associated depredation of local marine species has always remained unchecked and most of our lovely laws unenforced.

¡Cuidemos nuestro patrimonio!

Breakfast is served on the beach each morning to fishermen and passersby by a hard-working ambulante.
