2022 Deaths – All Causes – Girls And Boys – 10-14 | California, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for children aged 10-14 in California

1. 312 of 312 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is down 17% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 350 of 350 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 38 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 486 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 17% compared to Old Normal rates, we need to calculate the rates for both 2022 and for the Old Normal.

Remember, death rates are calculated to answer these questions:

• “How many children aged 10-14 were there?” and
• “How many of them died from All Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 312 of 2,476,125 children aged 10-14 living in California died from All Causes.

312 ÷ 2,476,125 = 0.00013 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from All Causes

The table shows there were a total of 5,622 deaths from All Causes among 39,759,364 children aged 10-14 living in California in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

5,622 ÷ 39,759,364 = 0.00014 (Old Normal CDR)

We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,476,125 X 0.00014 = 350 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:

312 – 350 = -38

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:

312 ÷ 350 = 0.8323

This reveals 38 lives saved and is 83.23% of what we expected (a decrease of 17%) in deaths from All Causes among children aged 10-14 living in California in 2022, as compared to the Old Normal.

This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):

2,060 ÷ 17,738,661 = 0.00012 (5-yr CDR)

2,476,125(2022 pop) X 0.00012 = 288 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

312 – 288 = 24 or 24 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

312 ÷ 288 = 0.9990 or an increase of 0%

for deaths from All Causes among children aged 10-14 living in California in 2022, as compared to the previous 5 years.

Compare our Old Normal to the 5yr CDR. Does it tell the same story your TV does?

Finally, the same method can also be used to compare our Old Normal rate to the New Normal™ rate:

New Normal™ population X Old Normal rate = expected deaths

20,214,786 X 0.00014 = 2,858 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

2372 – 2,858 = -486 or 486 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

2,372 ÷ 2,858 = 0.7750 or a decrease of 22%

in deaths from All Causes among children aged 10-14 living in California in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
