Zihuatanejo has registered 238 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 31 confirmed deaths, and 128 people recovered from the virus.

After continuing to feel poorly, our mayor took the test again for Covid-19 and this time the results were positive after receiving negative test results last week. It just goes to show that testing still isn't an exact science. We certainly hope he recovers fully and soon.

Some tourists reported seeing the small cocodrilo on the beach near the museum whose photo I posted recently when it was in the canal "La Boquita", and sure enough Protección Civil had to come try to trap it, but fortunately it hid in a drainage pipe where they couldn't reach it. PLEASE, whenever you see a cocodrilo do NOT make a big deal or let others know you see it. I don't know wtf is wrong with our local authorities that they can't simply leave the cocodrilos alone so that they don't learn that humans pose a threat to them, but that is the unfortunate policy the are using to remove them from Zihuatanejo and move them to overcrowded areas were the first thing they do in many cases, if they aren't killed by larger cocodrilos, is try to return to Zihuatanejo Bay. I waited several days before posting the photo thinking the cocodrilo might move on, but it didn't and it's just looking for a place to live. Seeing as this has been their natural habitat for millions of years, the least we can do is learn to live with them as we did here for many centuries before the current policy was enacted a few municipal administrations ago.

Remember that many lodgings are currently offering special rates, some even add additional discounts for mentioning ZihuaRob's. Please take advantage of these specials and remember to mention ZihuaRob's.

Guadalupe Pineda (who used to be married to Ricardo Rocha) actually trained to sing opera before finding that she had a big following for her traditional and popular Mexican music. She is one of the people who always sings in the Basilica de Guadalupe every year to the image of Guadalupe on the evening of December 11.

Yes, false negatives for covid-19 testing is high.

"A recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine from researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore found the effectiveness of RT-PCR tests, the most common type of test for the coronavirus globally, varies dramatically over the course of COVID-19 infection.

"In the first few days before symptoms typically show up, researchers found, the chance of getting a false negative result ranged from 100 per cent on Day 1 to 67 per cent on Day 4.

"After symptoms began to show, false negative results fell to 38 per cent on Day 5 and to 20 per cent on Day 8 – but rose again everyday after that.

"That means at best, COVID-19 patients were found to have a one in five chance of getting a negative test result during their infection even if they were actually positive."
