As of today, since April 18, 2020 Zihuatanejo has registered a cumulative total of 1,896 confirmed cases of Covid-19 (24 more than yesterday), 147 that have resulted in fatalities, 60 that are currently active, and approximately 1,563 that have recovered. Remember that tests are sent off to Morelia so that's why there's often a lag between results reported and what's happening on the ground.

The Gobernador said today he's considering closing all the beaches in Guerrero due to "bad behavior of tourists mostly from Mexico City", except that would be mostly Acapulco's tourists since few of our tourists come from Mexico City. I sure hope he doesn't punish the whole state just because Acapulco has too many tourists on its beaches.

But they do need to close the bars. I'm 100% behind that one. Unfortunately it appears no one is policing Zihuatanejo and the bars are doing whatever they want.

Lots of folks have been enjoying seeing the whales along our coast. For those who are here there are various safe excursions for whalewatching that are properly trained and know not to get too close too the whales.

I play backgammon, darts, poker, chess, and Monopoly. And I used to be pretty darn good at Trivial Pursuits. Oh, you mean guitar! How dense of me. ;-) I was sort of a child prodigy on the drums and I can play the bass line to a couple of old 60's hits, but I haven't played drums except twice on Sanibel-Captiva since my set was stolen about 45 years ago.

Funny feller????
I’ve been playing bass for 40+ years.
Will be looking for others to play with when I finally get down there.

One of my favourite bands
Ojos de brujo from Barcelona No longer together but worth checking out their back catalogue

Careful, I might take you up on that, though I'm afraid I'd break something. "Electric drums" sounds so fragile. ;-)
