US HHS estimate a life-year saved worth about $500K (https://aspe.hhs.gov/system/files/pdf/242926/HHS_RIAGuidance.pdf#page=26 …), and with 7.8 life years saved per corona case (https://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/economic-cost-of-flattening-the-curve/ …), that suggests a benefit of about $3.8m per life, meaning that social distancing delivers worse outcomes

The paper is very interesting and well done. It shows us that while there is definitely many benefits to be had to "flattening the curve", lock-down policies are easy We need to make sure the lock-down policies keep infections below capacity and also are as low-cost as possible

Perhaps costs would be better represented if we used a different metric such as cumulative number of days of life lost rather than a flat cost per life.
