The d–th rate for those aged 18-64 has risen an astonishing 40% over pre-pan-dem-ic levels, according to the CEO of Indianapolis-based insurance company OneAmerica.
The increase represents “huge, huge numbers,” among “primarily working-age people” who have employer-sponsored group life plans through OneAmerica, according to The Center Square.
“And what we saw just in third quarter, we’re seeing it continue into fourth quarter, is that death rates are up 40% over what they were pre-pan–demic,” Davison said during an online news conference last week. “Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, a three-sigma or a one-in-200-year catastrophe would be 10% increase over pre-pan–demic.”

According to Davison, the majority of d–ths being filed are not classified as due to Covid-nine teen.
“What the data is showing to us is that the d–ths that are being reported as COV–ID d–ths greatly understate the actual d–th losses among working-age people from the pand–emic. It may not all be COV–ID on their death certificate, but d–hs are up just huge, huge numbers,” he said, adding that the company has seen an “uptick” in disability claims – at first short-term, and now long-term.

“For OneAmerica, we expect the costs of this are going to be well over $100 million, and this is our smallest business. So it’s having a huge impact on that,” he said, adding that the costs will be passed on to employers purchasing the group life insurance policies.
At the same news conference where Davison spoke, Brian Tabor, the president of the Indiana Hospital Association, said that hospitals across the state are being flooded with patients “with many different conditions,” saying “unfortunately, the average Hoosiers’ health has declined during the pand–emic.”
In a follow-up call, he said he did not have a breakdown showing why so many people in the state are being hospitalized – for what conditions or ailments. But he said the extraordinarily high de–h rate quoted by Davison matched what hospitals in the state are seeing.
“What it confirmed for me is it bore out what we’re seeing on the front end,…” he said. -The Center Square
The number of those hospitalized in Indiana are now higher than before the Covid-19 va–ine was introduced a year ago, and is in fact higher than at any point in the past five years, according to Dr. Lindsay Weaver, Indiana’s chief medical officer.
