“…Diversos estudios han utilizado los APVP para calcular la carga que representan las muertes debidas al COVID-19 en países como Alemania, España, los Estados Unidos, la India, Italia, Kenya, los Países Bajos, Portugal, el Reino Unido y Suecia (Bell, 2020;Mitra y otros, 2020;Rypdal y otros, 2020;Vasishtha y otros, 2021;Vieira y otros, 2021). Otros han utilizado los APVP para determinar el impacto económico de la pandemia en sus países (Musango, Nundoochan y Kirigia, 2020;Kirigia y Muthuri, 2020). Por ejemplo, se estimó que los 30.916 fallecimientos a causa del SARS-CoV-2 registrados en Francia al 14 de septiembre de 2020 habían entrañado una pérdida económica promedio de ocho veces el producto interno bruto (PIB) per cápita de Francia (Kirigia y otros, 2020).…”

This article estimates the potential years of life lost (PYLL) owing to deaths from coronavirus disease in Mexico year and a half since the onset of the pandemic. Using data from the General Directorate of Epidemiology in Mexico's Secretariat of Health, it has been estimated that between 18 March 2020 and 17 August 2021, there were 3,123,252 cases positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection, 249,525 deaths, and 4,989,194 years of life lost, with men accounting for 61.1% of those years. The average PYLL per death is approximately 20 years and in at least 90% of the States, more than half of PYLL corresponded to persons under 60 years of age. All the estimates show significant differences among the States.

“…Further, many COVID-19-older person related studies (e.g. CDC, 2020; Musango, Nundoochan, & Kirigia, 2020;Rivera-Rodrigues, & Urdinola, 2020;Singu et al, 2020) focus on the health impacts of the disease and thus overlook socio-economic factors. There is yet to be out in Ghana, work on the resilient responses of older adults to the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

This study investigates older Ghanaian adults’ lived experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic along the trajectory of social, healthcare, childcare, self-care and humanitarian dimensions and how they navigated the effects thereof, utilizing interpretive methodology based qualitative dataset. The sample [n=10] was selected using purposive sampling technique. The paper finds that the current pandemic poses significant social challenges. The restrictions on human social movements has implications for social isolation. Social isolation can lead to loneliness and depression. Essentially, loneliness and long-term social distancing physiologically have the propensity to decrease the ability of an individual to fight infections and inflammations. In consequence, the study participants adopted a myriad of survival strategies such as social bonding with grandchildren, keeping busy, fending for and socialising children outside the traditional classroom environment and yet keeping them focused academically. These activities facilitate social interaction among older adults and children with implication for bridging the childcare gap that the closure of schools has brought about with some form of relief for working mothers. It also serves as an income generating avenue in disguise albeit meagre. In conclusion, more reflection on and the study of the social, psychological/emotional, self-care and childcare challenge dimensions of the pandemic is imperative.
