"The implications of treatment delays for situations other than COVID-19 result in 8K U.S. deaths per month of the shutdown, or about 120K years of remaining life.

"Based on the expected remaining lifetimes of these COVID-19 patients, and given that 40 percent of deaths are in nursing homes, the disease has been responsible for 800,000 lost years of life so far."
"Considering only loss of life from missed health care & unemployment due solely to lockdowns, we conservatively estimate that the national lockdown is responsible for at least 700K lost years of life every month, or about 1.5M so far — already far surpassing the COVID-19 total."
