2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Male – All Ages | British Columbia, Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for men of all ages in British Columbia

1. 1,565 of 24,226 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 6.46% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 323% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 343 of 19,295 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 1,222 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 4,931 excess All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 3,334 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 18,957 excess All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of British Columbia’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 323% 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 men of all ages were there?” and
• “How many of them died from Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 1,565 of 2,628,580 men of all ages living in British Columbia died from Unknown Causes.

1,565 ÷ 2,628,580 = 0.00060 (2022 CDR)

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

The table shows there were a total of 3,942 deaths from Unknown Causes among 30,176,017 men of all ages living in British Columbia in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

3,942 ÷ 30,176,017 = 0.00013 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,628,580 X 0.00013 = 343 expected deaths

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

1,565 – 343 = 1,222

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

1,565 ÷ 343 = 4.2335

This reveals 1,222 lives lost and is 423.35% of what we expected (an increase of 323%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among men of all ages living in British Columbia 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):

4,377 ÷ 17,334,293 = 0.00025 (5-yr CDR)

2,628,580(2022 pop) X 0.00025 = 664 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1,565 – 664 = 901 or 901 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

1,565 ÷ 664 = 2.2681 or an increase of 127%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among men of all ages living in British Columbia 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

19,962,873 X 0.00013 = 2,608 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

5942 – 2,608 = 3,334 or 3,334 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

5,942 ÷ 2,608 = 2.1165 or an increase of 112%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among men of all ages living in British Columbia in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
