The #coronavirus will cost more than dollars-and-cents . . . it will shorten American lives due to the dramatic decline in the utilization of healthcare (since people are afraid or unable to go to the hospital). thehill.com/opinion/healthca…

The COVID-19 shutdown will cost Americans millions of years of life
