You’re setting the value of 12.5 days of human suffering at $5. That is insane. By comparison, governments tend to set a human life at $10,000,000, and average lifespans are around 78 years, so 12.5 days is equivalent to about $4,000. The UK’s QALY is set at $50,000 which comes to $1,700.
Our world is insane. You can currently pay $5 and alleviate 12.5 days of human suffering.
(That’s $146 per QALY/DALY, which is close to GiveWell’s estimate for the benefit of donating to SCI. See how cost effective is mass deworming.)
