Hey there Listeners! We have a great Research Insights Podcast Classic to bring to you today. Four years ago today at 5:00 p.m., the state of Illinois was under a statewide stay at home order due to COVID-19. It was a scary time, and life as we knew it forever changed. Around this time we published one in a series of special episodes focusing on COVID-19, and we thought it a good idea to pull this episode out of our archives, dust it off and share it with you all over again. The episode is "U.S. Life Insurance COVID-19 Impact: A Mortality Claim Forecast." So, sit back, listen, and learn from this Research Insights Podcast Classic.
