Ironically, for countries that can contain properly, maybe even net gain in life. HK doctors was talking about how flu season ended months early due to all the measures being taken. I'm guessing road fatalities, work place accidents and all sorts of other causes of death is way down.

Not to mention the massive spike in birth rates that I expect 9 months from now (sooner for China)

The prolonged stress is probably shortening some people's lives. Not sure this is a net positive even if we just count in life-years gained.
