A Wisconsin restaurant is installing lights that reportedly kill airborne viruses

The Blind Horse Restaurant & Winery in Kohler, Wisconsin, is reportedly the first restaurant in the U.S. to install far-UVC light technology, according to a press release.

Healthe, Inc., a Florida-based company, made the lights — called “Healthe Space” lights — which “provide real-time mitigation of harmful pathogens and viruses,” the release said.

According to the company, the lights are mounted on the ceiling and give off general light as well as “far-UVC 222 sanitizing light to clean air and surfaces.”

CLEVELAND, Ohio – A Maple Heights cocktail lounge has now received its third coronavirus health order violation citation since June after it was visited by the Ohio Investigative Unit and Maple Heights police Saturday.

In addition to the Maple Heights restaurant, a popular Kent bar, 157 Lounge, also received an OIU citation Saturday night.

Vivid Cocktail Lounge, on Broadway Avenue, received citations on June 13 and September 20, according to a news release. The June 13 incident was brought before the Ohio Liquor Control Commission in August, where the owners admitted to the violation regarding the lack of social distancing measures.

The bar received a 15-day suspension of its liquor license, but the owners were also offered the option to pay a $3,000 fine in lieu of the license suspension, information from the Ohio Liquor Control Commission states.

On Saturday, OIU agents and Maple Heights police were again called to

Brianna Hill, a recent graduate of the Loyola University School of Law in Chicago, knew she would be pregnant during her bar exam, but she wasn’t expecting a huge curveball in timing due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I thought I would only be 28 weeks pregnant when I took the bar,” Hill told CNN. “However, due to the pandemic, the test was pushed to October and I was going to be 38 weeks. I joked about taking the test from my hospital bed. Lesson learned!”

The remote version of the test is four 90-minute sections spread out over two days. Hill said the exam is proctored so you have to sit in front of the computer the entire time to make sure you aren’t cheating.

“I thought I felt something about 30 minutes into the test and actually thought, ‘I really hope my water didn’t just break,'” Hill said. “But … Read More

The Knox County Board of Health met Wednesday after the Knox County Commission passes a resolution recommending limiting their power.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Knox County Board of Health met on Wednesday to discuss their response to the spread of COVID-19 after officials reported a total of 10,255 cases in Knox County.

They discussed the county’s bar curfew, which requires all establishments offering on-premise consumption of alcoholic beverages or beer to close by 11 p.m.

Patrick O’Brien said that the curfew was originally supposed to last 28 days. So, he proposed a vote to extend it another 14 days to fulfill the original expectation of the order. He said that he hoped to be able to allow the curfew to expire at that time.

Members voted to continue the curfew, 7 – 1. Dianna Drake voted against the continuation.

WEST LAFAYETTE – As Dr. Jeremy Adler, Tippecanoe County’s health officer, faces mounting pressure from community leaders to ease local restaurant and bar restrictions, Purdue President Mitch Daniels and others on campus encouraged him to stand firm, even after the rest of the state was cleared to reopen at full capacity.

In a letter dated Monday, Daniels and members of the Protect Purdue implementation team urged Adler to wait at least a month to make a move. They wrote that keeping Purdue’s campus, reopened in August to a record enrollment for the fall semester, could depend on it.

“The data on COVID-19 community spread gathered over the past nine months clearly indicate that indoor venues such as restaurants and bars represent the most risky of environments,” Daniels wrote.

The high court bid of a rejected applicant to the Illinois bar is raising fresh questions about whether members of state bar admissions boards are best suited to make decisions about candidates’ mental disabilities, especially amid calls across the legal industry to take mental health issues more seriously.

Thomas Skelton in June urged the U.S. Supreme Court to review his case so it can clarify whether the Americans with Disabilities Act is applicable to considerations of admission to state bars, and whether an applicant’s disability and any related “reasonable” accommodations should be factors to be considered in making such determinations, according to his petition for certiorari.

Skelton had requested conditional admission, a practice in which he’d be admitted to the bar, but his ongoing mental health treatment would be supervised by the Illinois Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission, the agency responsible for disciplining attorneys in Illinois, for an agreed upon
