John Ludlow purchased $160 worth of flowers and distributed them to members of the public while dressed as Cupid on Sunday.

Initial Reactions to UK Supreme Court’s Ruling on Business Interruption Claims
Insurers, policyholders and industry observers have issued comments on the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that insurers should pay small businesses for many business interruption claims from the COVID-19 lockdowns.
The UK Supreme Court dismissed appeals by six insurers – Hiscox, RSA, QBE, Argenta, Arch and MS Amline – determining that “many thousands of policyholders will now have their claims for coronavirus-related business interruption losses paid.” The insurers had argued that business interruption policies contained pandemic exclusions and should not be covered. No further appeals will be allowed.
The full judgment is available on the Supreme Court website.
