CLEVELAND, Ohio-As Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine visited Cleveland Wednesday to reinforce the seriousness of an executive order he has issued for a 10 pm- 5 am late night state curfew, effective beginning Thursday, Nov. 19 and continuing for three weeks, the city of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County leaders are asking residents not to leave home unless absolutely necessary.

Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, the city's four-term Black mayor, and Cuyahoga and County Executive Almond Budish, in cooperation with the Cuyahoga County Board of Health, have issued a stay-at -home advisory in effect until Dec 17 that recommends remote learning after Thanksgiving, Jackson also over the city schools because of a 1998 state law that replaced an elected school board with the city's mayor.

"We are in the fight of our lives," Budish told local reporters in a media briefing with Jackson and city and county health officials on Wednesday. "More Ohioans have died of COVID-19 than in the Korean and Vietnam wars put together. And it’s getting worse every day."

The stay-at-home advisory has no legal effect, but it is indicative of the dangers of the nationwide surge of the rapidly escalating coronavirus pandemic and a desire by city and county leaders to seek to tame the spread of COVID-19.

Exceptions include those going to and from work, those in need of medical care, getting necessary food, and emergency situations.

Most restaurant and bars owners oppose the new restrictions, and are upset over what that say are arbitrary restrictions.

 

Ohio has reported 313,000 confirmed cases and 5,772 deaths in the last eight and half months, and Cuyhoga County, the second largest of 88 counties statewide, has posted 30,581 cases and 720 deaths.


Mayor Jackson held a press conference Nov. 13 as Cleveland, like the  U.S., has  broken a coronavirus  record, the U.S. reporting nine consecutive days of more than 1,000 deaths from the pandemic.

 

Jackson announced last week that the largely Black city of Cleveland reported 194 new cases in a single day, up from a previous daily record of 115 cases. 

 

Some 153 Clevelanders have died from the virus, most of them elderly and over 70-years-old

 

The U.S. also broke a world record last week with over 144,000 new confirmed cases

 

The deadly virus for which there is no vaccine has spread to all 50 states and Washington, D.C. and the nation has nearly 11.6 million reported cases and some 250,000 people dead since early March,  worldwide figures showing that there are 55 million cases globally and roughly 1.3 million deaths.

 

And more than 40 million Americans are out of work due to the crippling pandemic.

Ohio Supreme Court strips chief Cuyahoga County judge of power: Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding and Administrative Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
