description Aim: To examine the economic impact of lives lost due to the coronavirus pandemic across California and Los Angeles (LA) County. Patients & methods: Years of potential life lost (YPLL) and the value of statistical life (VSL) were calculated using mortality data from the California Department of Public Health, the LA County Department of Public Health and the Social Security Administration websites. Results: In California and LA County, the average YPLL per person were 14.3 and 14.7 and the VSLs were approximately US$219.9 billion and $82.7 billion, respectively. YPLL and VSL were greatest for Latinos aged 50–64. Conclusion: The economic burden of lives lost due to the coronavirus across California and LA County is substantial. Latinos aged 50–64 were most affected.
