Table 1: Life Years Lost to Deaths in Non COVID and COVID-19 in 2020 up to week ending 24th May.
Table 2: benefits (+), costs (-) and net benefits of March-June UK lockdown; converted to an index of £ billions. 5 QALY are assumed lost for each COVID-19 death
Each life saved is estimated to result in 5 more quality adjusted years of life. The NICE resource threshold of £30,000 is applied to each of these quality adjusted years. The money value of GDP losses are taken as a proportion of 2019 GDP of £2.0 trillion. All resulting figures are in £ billions.
Table 3: benefits (+), costs (-) and net benefits of March-June UK lockdown; converted to an index of £ billions. 10 QALY are assumed lost for each COVID-19 death.
Each life saved is estimated to resulted in 10 more quality adjusted years of life. The NICE resource threshold of £30,000 is applied to each of these quality adjusted years. The money value of GDP losses are taken as a proportion of 2019 GDP of £2.0 trillion.
Table 4: Deaths and costs of deaths under different unlocking scenarios.
Deaths are assumed to evolve week by week from the level in the week ending 12 June (1230) by a factor 0.7; 0.9; 1.0; 1.15 for the lockdown and scenarios I, ii and ii respectively.
