Poverty leads to higher suicide rates, e.g. https://www.usnews.com/news/healthiest-communities/articles/2020-01-27/higher-poverty-tied-to-increased-youth-suicide-risk-study-shows https://www.usnews.com/news/healthiest-communities/articles/... . It also leads to people being generally less healthy and dying earlier: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181123135003.htm https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181123135003.h... . If poverty leads someone who's currently 10 years old to die five years earlier, then in terms of loss-of-life-years it's similar to the loss if e.g. an 80 year old is killed by the virus.
