Summary:
COVID-19 seems to have created a “wake up” moment, raising awareness of the need to protect loved ones if something was to happen.
We are living through extraordinary times, the first truly worldwide pandemic in our lifetimes, which has effectively halted economies and introduced the concepts of #socialdistancing and #flatteningthecurve into the vernacular (not to mention #PPE). Beyond the horrific infection rate and loss of life, coronavirus’ impact on travel, retail, hospitality and other industries has been so profound that it may take years to recover. However, it has had at least one positive impact — the pandemic has forced people to confront their mortality in a way that larger threats (heart disease, car accidents, diabetes) haven’t over the last 10 years.
