The average age of death from the coronavirus appears to be in the 80s for many countries. In Norway it's 84, in the UK it's 82.4. You also have to take into account the health of those involved. Saving a life only for that person to live a few low quality years in poor health is worth less than saving the life of a healthy young child. The resulting measure is the QALY, the quality adjusted life year. Unfortunately there has not been nearly enough research or discussion about QALYs and their applicability to the coronavirus. There are a few studies out there, though, here's one: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hec.4208 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/hec.4208 TLDR: the mean discounted QALYs lost by someone dying of the coronavirus in the US is 4.3.
