How long does the bacteria/virus live in that environment?
Wow. If the article follows the headline, it seems it will still be short on facts.
And I got it from and unimpeachable source that the Big Boss man from Mexico City came to Cozumel deal with the fallout and sort this thing out. So it looks like they got some attention.

PS Ric's comments aside, we have from "unimpeachable" sources that there are at least 300 septic tanks in the newly developed south, all basically draining into the ocean with time. And many are the big ones!
We do not contend that this is the complete cause of anything, like the silliness that divers are kicking all the brain corals, but the easiest solution would be to put a real fully functional hygienic sewage plant in the south to serve ALL properties—and require retrofitting.

Oh and I can unimpeachably tell you that the rain has pretty much stopped.
breakfast for lunch is still good at Rocken Java
and if you are using the ferry, I’d buy Ultramar ticket. Win Jet (the old Mexico water jet) has started using the little Isla mujeres ferry. It’s sucks. It rolls like me sleeping of a batch of Guidos margaritas. And the fire alarm goes off occasionally, not that anyone else is bothered by it. Barf bags are still free.

In reef reporting: we saw a mound coral that someone slapped some silly putty on to stop the white band disease. It appears to have worked as it looked to have been there a little while and had stopped the advance of the disease. Dead on one side, live on the other. This was palancar gardens. And there is still a lot of coral in good shape too
However we saw a big batch of pillar coral on Columbia shallows today that had silly putty on it but it didn’t work. All of it was dead. Still schools of grunts around.
Also saw some newly cemented reef anchors the marine park attached to the reef. Must be something to do with the studies they are doing.
