Updated COVID-19 Business Interruption Coverage New York Decisions

The labor of my Labor Day...Updated COVID-19 Business Interruption Coverage New York Decisions (as of September 6, 2021)

Until today, I hadn't really counted the Kingray decision out of the Central District of California (No. 8 on my list) as a loss, but it technically is, so it's now among the counted. Including Kingray (which the Deer Mountain Inn and SA Hospitality Group decisions roundly reject), the "score" in New York on the "direct physical loss of or damage to" issue stands at 35-1 for insurers.
