Hello!. You feel good, don?t you?

Could somebody tell me what?s the
meaning of "as good as" in this sentence, please?

I failed all my exams last week. I am AS GOOD AS
dead when my parents see my final report card.

Thanks a million!

Jes?s.

Hi Jesus

In this context, "as good as" means essentially equal to / virtually / in effect / the same as.
