Across the state, there are 1,653 confirmed cases of coronavirus with 29 deaths. Cuyahoga County has the most confirmed cases in the state, with 440, owing chiefly to the level of testing at the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals and MetroHealth. The county has recorded 95 hospitalizations and three deaths.

As of Monday morning, more than 2,300 people had died from COVID-19 in the United States, with the numbers of reported cases and deaths rising sharply in a number of epicenters across the country. New York City alone has nearly 60,000 confirmed cases and 1,000 deaths.

  1. That should free up on of the thousands of empty hospital beds being kept vacant for the big surge.

    Are you guys buying this bs? We’re all healthy locked in our houses. Their numbers dont make sense. The media is publishing pictures of movie scenes of coffins and old pics of hospital beds to amplify the hysteria. Dewine and co. are clearly inept. At least they are not crime bosses like Cuomo in NY and Newsom in CA who will continue to remove their citizen’s rights each day, but it looks like Ohio is not far behind.

  2. Of course there is no information on the deceased person. It was probably a case of another disease the just crossed off and put “covid19” in the cause of death. Nurses in NYC have reported finding death certificates of bronchitis and asthma patients changed after to covid19 to fluff up the covid deaths. As if they wouldn’t do that here. For some reason, they have to make us believe this is a epidemic. They have to keep us in our houses and destroy our business. Why?

  3. One death? Well we better shut down the entire economy, lock everyone in their house (except criminals go free), institute new but well planned rules (sOcIaL dIsTaNcInG) and implement a psychogic surveillance plan (record everyone at all times and punish them for wrong think or questioning the official narrative).

  4. Unclean Slate howdy,,,I’m not sure as I don’t have Facebook. I just thought I would poke around here and see if anyone shows up. How are things with you?

  5. Yeah that “psychogic surveillance plan” sure is a bitch, ain’t it?

    Gotta love how all the remedial conspiracy theorists and actual psychopaths who think they’re so important that someone is not only watching them 24/7, but also recording everything they do (here’s the truth- nobody gives a flying fuck about you, especially state, local or federal government) come crawling out of the woodwork when the shit hits the fan.

    If you think this is all such bs, go ahead and go hang with your similarly mentally handicapped buddies or go check out one of those “fake” hospitals so your ass can win this years Darwin Award. Please, please do us all a favor and die coughing and sputtering, morons.

  6. The psycho leftist above is, as usual, wishing pain and death on others for thinking differently than him.

  7. The joyless misery displayed above can only reside in the barren womb of a soulless shell of a woman.

    It will remain as the one thing the trannies will never be able to mimick.

  8. Sorry, it’s not just a matter of “thinking differently” it’s a matter of spreading not just stupid but also dangerous misinformation because you have a boner for conspiracies.

    Please lord, please just shut the fuck up with your gubmints out to get me fantasies. This shit has absolutely nothing to do with 5G or digital ID or whatever new technology has your little white panties in a fear twist. There are no forced vaccines and nobody is watching you, because you’re a moron and because people, especially those that work for the government, have better shit to do than count the number of times a day you pick your nose and eat it.

    The stupidity that is the Alex Jones crowd is legendary. The man literally walked into court and had his lawyers explain to the judge that what he’s engaging in is performance art and some of you mongoloids are so personally invested in his nonsense that you still don’t believe that he’s lying even with the above and the amount of times hes been caught bold faced lying. Just do us all a favor and give it a fucking rest already.

  9. Some say, if you quarantine yourselves real good for 2 months, then the quarantine fairies will come one night in camouflage jumpsuits with special presents like toilet paper, vaccines, and $1200.

  10. Yeah, the vaccine and digital ID stuff is very easy to find. Bill gates has been talking non stop about vaccinating everyone and using a digital implant to track the information. MSM has published multiple articles. The UN literally has a plan creating a worldwide digital database and individual tracking system called ID2020.

    Your willful ignorance and argument that any information you don’t like must come from Alex Jones. Why are you so obsessed with that guy that you just have bring him up anytime you need to make an argument?

    You are dangerous. Your denial is dangerous. Anyways Grizz66, you come on here and literally threaten people all the time. So WE really dont pay attention to your regular “tin foil hat” “paranoid conspiracy theorist” schtick. How do you know it’s not related to 5g?

  11. Actually, if there’s one person that’s been proven correct for the past 20 years of Journalism it is Alex Jones. Coincidence that they feel the need to discredit, slander and censor him at every turn.

    Naaaaahhh Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, George Soros, Bill Gates, and the Clintons are all your friends. They care deeply about the individual liberties of American Citizens.

    It’s cool though cuz they’re on team Orange Man Bad. Keep chasing them ghosts. Lol

  12. So Alex Jones is your God? Between him and the golden cow you pray to your going far young man,,,,,your going all the way,,,,,
    Still using that mobile phone and the 5g your so scared about!,,,,,,idiot asshole

  13. I dont watch the Alex jones show. I’m a different commenter Artful. I dont have a computer, just my phone. Also we dont have 5g outside my house yet. They need many more small cell towers installed very close for 5g to work. It does put out harmful radiation but I’m sure you dont believe it so you’ll try to shut down the info for everybody else because you’re a sociopath.

  14. Your a different commenter alright,,, I bet you’ve been different from the start,,,,momma probably said,,your just different from the other kids,,,,

  15. Just waiting for the upcoming article:
    “Ok, yes the military is going door to door, but chill. It’s a good thing.” By Scene staff

    And the follow up
    “Just get the shot guys. It’s for all of us.” By scene Staff

  16. The US just signed a 450 million dollar contract with Johnson and Johnson (who have been sued for causing cancer) to produce….you guessed it… Vaccines for Covid!

  17. When the stay at home order is put in place until June, and the temperatures, starvation and insanity drive clevelanders into the streets…Sam and Vince will flee their Gentrified neighborhoods and be right back to couch surfing in the Suburbs.

    Some advice, pick friends that you know will have loose change between the cushions.

    Remember, Strongsville is getting a Barrio, whether it needs it or not.

  18. This comment section has AIDS, fuck Covid19.

    To the moron who said Alex Jones has been proven right? ABOUT FUCKING WHAT?!?
    He’s been saying non stop for 30 fucking years that the NWO is coming to get us, they’re gonna take all our guns, declare martial law and round us all up for the FEMA camps.
    Guess what, dipshit? HASN’T HAPPENED ONCE IN 30 YEARS! Yea, that’s how right that red faced retarded blowhard is. 9/11 was supposed to be it, then Katrina and a dozen other events before and since then. He wasn’t right about school shootings, lost a big case, had to apologize and in court tried to claim that he never said it was a false flag. Yeah he’s soooooo right….

    You conspiracy morons tell everyone to do their research, do some yourselves. Go on youtube and type in Alex Jones failed predictions, you will find video evidence of him saying a whole bunch of shit that’s never come to pass, and it never will, because it’s a fucking retarded fantasy and always has been. Go look up Bill Cooper, he was Alex Jones before Alex was, another nutter saying aliens are in league with the government, they’re gonna take everyone’s firearms and throw us all in FEMA camps to be slaughtered, blah blah blah more retarded drivel. Go buy yourself a clue and shut the fuck up already.

    Also, who gives a fuck what Bill Gates is saying ot what this person or that rich idiot is saying, it means fucking nothing. Bill Gates isn’t giving orders to anyone. And of course they’re producing a fucking vaccine you moron, this disease is killing people left and right. I promise you, it’s only for the people bright enough to want it, you can stay unvaccinated and die if you want, nobody is going to force it on you. Jesus the stupidity in Scenes comment section is just baffling. You dummies are so scared, every little dumbass piece of news is part of the conspiracy. Know what confirmation bias is? Nah of course not…

  19. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m just going to trust the Government. They really seem to care about me, the little guy.

    Me, I look at breadlines as an opportunity to meet new people with different points of view. It’ll be refreshing TBH.

    Those Military personnel patrolling my neighborhood, they’re just out there to lend a hand to folks in need. Sure they’re going door to door and marking your skin with a stamp, but it’s to make us a safer America.

    I know I can’t leave my house until i take their mandatory vaccination, but it’s cool they decided to do all elections by mail now….super convenient.

    Word is, in a couple of years they may even make the whole process electronic!! I feel patriotic knowing that my vote will count just as much as my “Undocumented” Neighbor, because we all know, No Human Being is Illegal.”

  20. Your entire post is nothing but retarded speculation, complete nonsense.

    The military is going to go door to door with a stamp? A fucking stamp?!? Shows just how out of touch your dumb ass is. You’re doing nothing but projecting your own fear and anticipating events that have never, and will never happen.

    By all means, stay in your house cluthching “muh guns” if that makes your lil scary bitch ass feel safe. Nobody cares and at this point you’re nothing but a child throwing a tantrum over what ifs. Do that all you want at home or with your similarly brain damaged militia buddies, but please quit spreading misinformation on the internet because you’re scared. Nut up, you fucking coward.

    Breadlines, forced vaccines blah blah blah. Paranoid fantasies and nothing more. Just stop already. The best thing is, when this is over and none of that shit happens, you’ll still be the boy crying wolf because you’re too dumb to realize that changing your silly POV isn’t a weakness, it’s actually a sign of growth.

  21. Can you tell me what recently gentrified neighborhood you reside in. I want to celebrate the inevitable pillaging of your street accurately.

  22. OKAY SCENE, IS THIS ENOUGH FOR YOU?
    SHUT THIS MOTHERFUCKER DOWN FOR THE DURATION.
