2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 55-59 in Massachusetts
2,988 of 2,988 total deaths were from All Causes
100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
This is up 4% compared to Old Normal rates.
2,880 of 2,880 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
108 more deaths from All Causes in 2022.
509 fewer deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 4% 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 people aged 55-59 were there?” and
“How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Male – Aged 55-59 | Massachusetts, United-states
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 2,988 of 479,734 people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts died from All Causes.
2,988 ÷ 479,734 = 0.00623 (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 36,398 deaths from All Causes among 6,063,097 people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
36,398 ÷ 6,063,097 = 0.00600 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
479,734 X 0.00600 = 2,880 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
2,988 – 2,880 = 108
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
2,988 ÷ 2,880 = 1.0358
This reveals 108 lives lost and is 103.58% of what we expected (an increase of 4%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in 2022, as compared to the Old Normal.
Compare our Old Normal to the 5yr CDR. Does it tell the same story your TV does?

This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):
20,007 ÷ 3,435,586 = 0.00582 (5-yr CDR)
479,734(2022 pop) X 0.00582 = 2,794 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
2,988 – 2,794 = 194 or 194 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
2,988 ÷ 2,794 = 1.0677 or an increase of 7%
for deaths from All Causes among people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in 2022, as compared to the previous 5 years.
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
3,915,320 X 0.00600 = 23,504 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
22995 – 23,504 = -509 or 509 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
22,995 ÷ 23,504 = 0.9767 or a decrease of 2%
in deaths from All Causes among people aged 55-59 living in Massachusetts in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.

The world has been led to believe that a deadly pandemic swept the globe beginning in 2020, causing an increase in death rates, especially among the elderly
The data show that death rates began to increase in 2015, immediately upon implementation of the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, that young adults have experienced ever-increasing death rates since, and that death rates among the elderly have remained relatively stable.
Browse through the age-categorized charts below to see the evidence of this. Click on any chart to see the full analysis for each age group.
63,366 of the 63,366 deaths among individuals of all ages living in Massachusetts in 2022 were from All Causes (100.00% of all deaths).
