As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,385 confirmed cases of Covid-19, 101 that have resulted in fatalities, approximately 1,150 that have recovered, and 50 that are currently active. Maybe that bump was a bit bigger than I first thought. Over 20 more cases than yesterday, but we must remember that these are because test results were confirmed, and I believe the period for receiving test results is still rather long due to logistics, so there is a bit of a lag time. From three weeks to two weeks ago Zihuatanejo registered a decline in new cases of -9.17 per 100,000 inhabitants. Not as good as our neighbors Petatlán and La Unión, but better than our neighbor Coyuca de Catalán.

I saw that our state government issued a new directive to the municipios to take stricter measures to contain and reduce the spread of the virus. I hope this translates into some concrete actions, because we're coming up on Día de Muertos, and bars are still open even though the panteones aren't. Restricting their hours would be a good start.

I have never once regretted giving up my life in the States to follow my heart and move here. As the song above says, we only live once, a philosophy my wife and I have always shared.

For those of you atrevidos enough to come weather out a few weeks or months of this pandemia here with us, you have my respect. I hope you'll take advantage of some of the services still operating and enjoy some of our guided tours and excursions.
