CLEVELAND, Ohio -- With coronavirus on the rampage, Cleveland has more cases than ever, Cuyahoga County is hitting positivity test records, and MetroHealth is closing facilities.
COVID-19 is looking grim in Cleveland, as we discuss on This Week in the CLE.

Here are the questions we’re answering today:
As omens go, how bad is this one: MetroHealth is closing facilities through the end of the year because the coronavirus is wiping out its staff. It’s not good. MetroHealth had about 100 employees out sick last week and the temporary closings are in anticipation of a continued increase in COVID-19 cases.
After reading reporter Andrew Tobias’ story about Sam Randazzo, the former Ohio PUCO chief whose house was recently raided by the FBI and who, it appears, received $4 million in a suspicious payment from FirstEnergy, I’m feeling even more outrage about the HB6 bribery and racketeering scheme that centers on FirstEnergy. Jane Kahoun, how can Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine survive this scandal, after he was the one who appointed Randazzo? It’s a good question. FirstEnergy made a $4 million payment to terminate a consulting agreement dating back to 2013, which might have been to Randazzo.
Is Intensive Care occupancy in Cuyahoga County at a record for the pandemic? What about the county positivity rate for coronavirus tests? And does this explain why the medical examiner needs refrigerated trucks? Yes. Eighty-seven percent of ICU beds were filled as of Thursday. The county Medical Examiner’s Office plans to request refrigerated units from the state to serve as makeshift morgues in preparation for anticipated increase in coronavirus deaths.
How much coronavirus vaccine does Ohio expect by the end of the year, and who’s first in line for it?Ohio could receive more than 659,000 doses of two coronavirus vaccines before January, with the first shipments distributed to high-risk health care workers, first responders and group living facilities.
How is Ohio’s role in the space race way back in the 1960s playing into the threat to the planet from space junk? NASA hypothesizes that a mysterious item scientists spotted in September and dubbed “2020 SO” was actually a Centaur upper stage rocket booster from the ill-fated Surveyor 2 unmanned mission to explore the lunar surface, which was launched in 1966.
As Cuyahoga County Executive Armond Budish races to spend all of the federal coronavirus relief we received before the end-of-the-year deadline, how might restaurants benefit? Locally owned restaurants could receive up to $10,000 each, to a total of $1.2 million, to help with unpaid rent, utilities and Covid-19 safety-related costs.
With the disastrous experience America is having with the coronavirus, especially compared to most of the rest of the world, did Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine really say last week that Donald Trump did an excellent job with this pandemic? DeWine heaped praise on President Donald Trump during a virtual meeting with top Ohio Republican Party officials on Friday.
Who are the Republican Northeast Ohio congress members who are undermining the Constitution by refusing to say that Joe Biden won the presidential election, and who are the Northeast Ohio Republicans who have stood up to the intimidation and states the truth? Sen. Rob Portman still won’t call Biden the “President-elect.”
