Greetings!

You may be familiar with this bit of pithy wisdom: “Expect the unexpected.” It would make a good slogan for an insurance company, don't you think? Well, it also characterizes the coming week, which we hope will be full of delightful surprises for you. Here's the first!

Explanation

  • When talking about insurance, to cover (verb) someone means to provide them with insurance protection in case a particular event (for example, an accident or illness) happens.
