1- Today no one grinds their medicine either, but that law is still on
the books. (If very less frequently applied.)

2- The portable ohel does nothing to help the kohein avoid walking on a
qever. The taqanah is that even with a demarkation around the grave and
a division into multiple reshuyos (a 4 foot wall or trench), the kohein
must stay 4 tefachim away. He has no demarkation saying "you would now
be above the grave".

Tir'u baTov!
