I've seen a couple of sources reporting that beer production will resume on 15-May.

Just for something a bit different for Friday, here are the total cases in Quintana Roo, broken down by location:
Code: 
Location               Total     %
                       Cases
-------------------------------------
Bacalar                   1      0%
Cancun                  777     75%
Cozumel                  22      2%
Felipe C Puerto           4      0%
Isla Muejeres             7      1%

Chetumal                 29      3%
Puerto Morelos            2      0%
Playa del Carmen        170     16%
Tulum                    12      1%
Note: I've used the names of the largest cities in place of the municipalities (counties) as I'm guessing those are more widely known.

I didn't realize it, but until yesterday, Playa del Carmen had no curfew. One is now in effect 7pm - 5am (Cozumel's is 5pm - 5am)
 
One of my favorite signs in Coz:”Beer so cheap it’s almost free!”

So, Cozumel is holding it down, or are they not testing and reporting?

Coz is an island. They can probably get rid of it. Until the first tourists arrive.

Yeah, a 45 minute ferry ride from Playa del Carmen 170. I hear that PDC was a charming little fishing town 30 years ago, but the developers have had their way with it. Population in 1995 17K, today 252K.

DAMN, 252K ??!! I knew it had exploded (watched it happening, for years) but I had no idea of the actual extent :eek:!
I remember when 5th av turned into a dirt road, just past the bus station ! You had to dodge water-filled pot-holes just to walk to the Blue Parrot !
"Those were the days, my friend..." :(

Look at the size of that town compared to San Miguel. I wonder what that area is off to the left, across from Xcaret?

By some measures, Playa del Carmen has been the fastest-growing city in North America for decades.

My first visit to Playa del Carmen was in 1986. It was a sleepy, quiet, laid-back fishing town with an undeveloped, beautiful beach and a ferry. There were a handful of European tourists and gringo hippies, mostly sleeping in hammocks under palapas on the beach, and a couple of very, very basic hotels (only one had a couple rooms with A/C). But it was a fishing town. The town had one telephone. There was a beer distributor nearby (pennies a bottle when bought by the case). A little bakery that made incredible cakes and pastries. Most streets were unpaved. It was like heaven - though there were plenty of other quiet beach towns all around Mexico, too, at the time, but PdC stood out as having one of the nicest beaches.


Oh, to have a time machine...
