Abstract
The economic burden of mortality due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) extends beyond the lives lost. Data from the Ohio Department of Public Health and Social Security Administration was used to estimate the years of potential life lost, 72,274 and economic value of those lost lives, US$17.39 billion. These estimates may be used to assess the risk-trade off of COVID-19 mitigation strategies in Ohio.

Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:This limitation was mitigated by sensitivity analysis examining the low- and high-end of the age ranges. Finally, there is no generally accepted appropriate VSLY. The use $247,676 in this study was transparent and the method allows for the ease of application of differing amounts. The expected loss of life-years from premature deaths of COVID-19 in Ohio was substantial. Each death represents a number of life-years lost and the enjoyment of those years with family and friends. Further, there is a substantial economic loss to all Ohioans from each death. Estimating the economic burden of COVID-19 may provide a consistent means for state level policy makers to assess interventions control and mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
