Abstract

La perte de richesse liée au confinement forcé de la COVID-19 pour l’ensemble des Québécois se chiffrera à environ 100 milliards de dollars. Selon les données de la Center of Disease Control des États-Unis, le nombre de décès causés par la COVID-19 se serait chiffré à environ 47 000 au Québec si rien n’avait été fait pour endiguer la pandémie. Selon le modèle de l’Institut Pasteur en France, le nombre de décès se serait chiffré à environ 21 500. En fonction du modèle français ou des données américaines, la SAAQ aurait versé entre 2,6 et 9,0 milliards de dollars, respectivement, aux conjoints de ces victimes si elles étaient mortes d’un accident de la route plutôt que de la COVID-19. Les versements forfaitaires de la SAAQ sont trop faibles et devraient être augmentés par un facteur de 10 à 40.
