As of today Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,558 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (same as yesterday), 124 that have resulted in fatalities, 4 that are currently active, and approximately 1,325 that have recovered. We appear to be doing something right.
It's election season again, so be prepared to hear lots of cars with megaphones blaring out about who loves us the most and all the miracles they're going to perform. I don't think there will be many if any public speeches in public places due to the contingencia de salud, so I suspect they'll try to make up for it perifoneando. I've already noticed they have no qualms about interrupting our siesta.
Cool evenings continue making for perfect sleeping weather. So far a single bedsheet is all we need to cover up with at night. The ocean has been so calm there lately is barely any sound of the surf at night to sleep by, but fortunately we live very close to the water so it doesn't take much.
If you like to sleep to the sound of a light surf, you can find many lodgings on or near the waterfront here in my website.

Late afternoon at the beach. Social distancing looks easy.

It's been getting so cold at night I have actually considered closing a few windows. Right now at about 7:30am my thermometer says 21.7. I asked my wife if she had switched it back to Fahrenheit.
This morning I put on my long flannel pajama bottoms; the cats didn't recognize me and ran out of the house.
And the whales have apparently brought not only frigid ocean currents but also the annual Sharknado. Just in time too, because we were about to run out of stuff to be afraid of.
Remember humans, when you are in the ocean, you are just another link in the food chain.

ONLY 21.7??? 
The sacrifices one must make to be in paradise! I am sure many readers on here would gladly "suffer" at 21.7! 
It is all about perspective! Yeah, I am envious!
