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.
