CoVid continued

Another couple weeks have past, and the numbers are still rising. I dont even look at the stats from Guayas anymore, as Manabi is growing steadily. Still only 2 close by in Charapoto and 3 or 4 in Rocafuerte. None listed in Bahia, which people think is shady...and 1 reported across the Bahia Bay bridge in san Vicente. Portoviejo and Manta...uff!

And the country wide numbers

Saw a post outlining burial costs, no wonder people aren't cremating, it costs almost $500 where to bury is just a casket and some bricks to block up the tomb. A casket manufacturer is making very cheap models for the poorest families, maybe even giving for free.

Neighbors are helping each other as well. San Clemente has been doing food drives for their poorest, and fisherman are sharing their catches. Over 600 fish and 400 lbs of shrimp divided and given out over the past couple days. 

Because no one is sick in our little villages, some dont see the risk, but as cases rise, and Ecuador becomes number one in cases in South America, maybe people will listen. There are no cars allowed on the roads Saturday or Sunday, the past two weekends and the special permits for drivers after 2 pm curfew had to be recently changed, as people were not adhering to the essential items only rule. Guayas province, and Guayaquil are still a total mess, not sure what the military is doing there, but its not enough!

Hope you and yours all are safe, I happened to see several comments left the other day, thank you for your well wishes. Stay home, and stay tuned, the adventure continues.
