Finally, Somebody Writes About COVID Quality Adjusted Life Years Lost
21st July 2020
Steve Sailer keeps asking inconvenient questions.
For months I’ve been asking for somebody to calculate the cost of COVID-19 deaths in terms of the medical research standard of Quality Adjusted Life Years lost (a.k.a., Disability Adjusted Life Years lost). For example, assuming that average life expectancy is 80 and the average age of people who die in car accidents is 40, then car accidents take somewhat less than 40 years of Quality Adjusted Life Years (due to downward adjustments for quality of life).
