State health authorities for Guerrero report there are currently 531 active cases of Covid-19 in Zihuatanejo, 5 in La Unión and 13 in Petatlán. It's looking like the peak of this current wave occurred a couple of weeks ago, though it's still too soon to tell. Many businesses and people in general took stronger health safety measures when it became apparent the omicron variant was sweeping the nation.

I'm now double vaccinated and boosted and ready to rock'n'roll!

Unfortunately the local government apparently doesn't want people with pets to come to Zihuatanejo any more and much less to enjoy our beaches. Now they want to "certificar Blue Flag" Playa La Madera. After ten years with a Blue Flag beach in Ixtapa the shopping centers have more closed stores than ever and the only businesses really making money are the corporate owned hotels, while local businesses are seeing less prosperity than before all the Blue Flag nonsense. A damn shame to see Zihuatanejo go down this road and continue adding to the decline of Zihuatanejo's prosperity by making a class of tourism and resident (aka pet owners) feel unwelcome. Lodging operators, restaurant owners and shop owners need to speak up, no matter what their nationality, even if they don't accept pets themselves at their establishments. We need these tourists, and residents and locals also need to feel welcome at our own beaches.

We are fortunate to have some truly lovely hotels and inns in our region. The stuff dreams are made of. Still no snow in our forecast.
