Zihuatanejo currently has 226 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 31 confirmed deaths and 121 people confirmed recovered from the virus.
The gobernador is threatening to close down the state if people aren't going to cooperate to slow down the advance of the virus. Both locals and visitors need to take this matter more seriously. Apparently enough people aren't practicing safe hygiene and because of their increased mobility the virus is infecting more people than our hospitals can handle.
Speaking of, finally the mobile units sent by the U.S. embassy are up and running, giving Zihuatanejo ten additional beds equipped to handle Covid-19 patients.
Today was a picture postcard perfect day! This tropical paradise keeps living up to its reputation for perfect weather.
The streets remain mostly empty. Hardly anyone out and about.

We are having the same problem here. People do not won't to wear a mask(Walmart is really bad). The stores are not suppose to let customers in unless they are wearing a mask. We set up on the weekends at a Peddlers Mall and as of 5pm Friday no one is allowed in side unless they have a mask on- should have seen the number of customers going back to the car for their mask. Because people can be a carrier and not no it, we will not eat inside a restaurant that is open. We will only eat outside on their patio or do carry out.

Great video. I like the flute.....and the flautist. I looked up La Bodequita del Medio, thinking that was the name of the group. Maybe it is, but the name primarily refers to a famous bar in Havana.
The video reminds me of the "Smooth" video, with Santana and Rob Thomas. Probably the latin flavour.
For a wonderful version of "Perdón", head on over to El Pirata on La Ropa to hear Zihua's own Solo Tres.
Eydie Gormé does a great version too.

La Bodeguita del Medio is popular for its mojitos, music and food. It’s a place visited by most tourists to La Habana. Musicians work brief shifts for tips and to sell their CDs. If you’ve never been to Cuba you should go. It’s history and culture is important to understanding all of America.

Rob, we do not agree on most things but I totally agree about Havana. We did 2 7 day cruises last year and spent Saturday and Sunday in Havana on both cruises. We went to the bar that Hemingway made famous and had his famous cocktail and Kathie got to check off an item on her Bucket List- tour Havana in one of the Vintage Cars and the one we rode in was a 1949 Chevy convertible (what a blast that was).

Hola
I totally agree about La Habana. Great place, great people and great food. Have been there 8 times. Been all over that island except for the tobacco producing region in the north west. Whenever I go there, I always spend a few days in Havana. Have stayed there in people's houses (casa particular) and elegant hotels. If you get a chance stay there for a month and see the country that is called Cuba.

We met a family on the Cruise that were from Cuba and the parents had immigrated years go right after the Revolution. The parents went back to visit relatives. It was the first time the Pro Castro and Anti Castro had gotten together. The parents said there was a big fight over Castro and hated that they went back because of the split family. The Pro lived better than the other group. There is still hatred going back to the Revolution.

ALERTA EN #Zihuatanejo, SE COLOCA EN MENOS DE 7 DÍAS EN TERCER LUGAR ESTATAL CON MÁS CASOS POSITIVOS, POR REPUNTE DE CASOS COVID-19.* Subimos a 226 casos positivos de Covid-19.
Zihuatanejo, Gro., 12 de Julio.- Debido al incorrecto tratamiento, que el gobierno municipal le ha dado a la pandémia, aunado a la desobediencia ciudadana, quienes no siguen las indicaciones del sector salud, hay una alerta por el repunte de casos de Covid 19 en Zihuatanejo, pasando en menos de 7 días del quinto lugar a 3 tercero a nivel estatal, también confirmó que el hospital del Seguro Social se encuentra al 100% por ciento de su capacidad.
I posted that same news yesterday about the IMSS. As to the state ranking, I cannot confirm that, but I find such a claim more alarmist than relevant.
