A RETIRED Dunfermline licensing expert says restaurants have been served a raw deal with coronavirus lockdown restrictions. Tom Johnston, a licensing lawyer, said he felt safer in restaurants than in supermarkets when allowed to dine out last year and believes eateries are not being treated fairly. Also understanding the plight of pubs and bars, he is hoping that places will be able to re-open at the end of April as planned. I am very very sorry for the pubs – until recently I was secretary of the Fife Licensed Trade Association – but it is terribly unfair that restaurants are being treated exactly the same as pubs.

Isolation from the pandemic led to record-breaking overdoses in 2020. More than 81,000 people died nationally, and more than 500 people in Milwaukee County died from overdoses last year.
Working with Milwaukee-based pharmacy Serve You Rx, the group Wisconsin Voices for Recovery has installed naloxone boxes for people overdosing from opioids.
The rescue medication, commonly known as Narcan, can be administered without a prescription. Dr.
Alison Miller, with UW Health, said the symptoms of an overdose are shallow breathing and blue lips.
