32,823 deaths from All Causes were among individuals of all ages
2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in Alberta
- 32,823 of 32,823 total deaths were from All Causes
- 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is up 25% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 26,219 of 26,219 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 6,604 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 20,008 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 25% 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 individuals of all ages were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Of All Ages | Alberta, Canada
Population – Both Sexes – Of All Ages – [2001-2022] | Alberta, Canada
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 32,823 of 4,543,111 individuals of all ages living in Alberta died from All Causes.
32,823 ÷ 4,543,111 = 0.00722 (2022 CDR)
Deaths/100,000 Both Sexes GrandTotal from All Causes
The table shows there were a total of 286,259 deaths from All Causes among 49,600,790 individuals of all ages living in Alberta in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
286,259 ÷ 49,600,790 = 0.00577 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
4,543,111 X 0.00577 = 26,219 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
32,823 – 26,219 = 6,604
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
32,823 ÷ 26,219 = 1.2497
This reveals 6,604 lives lost and is 124.97% of what we expected (an increase of 25%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Alberta 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):
187,136 ÷ 30,102,958 = 0.00622 (5-yr CDR)
4,543,111(2022 pop) X 0.00622 = 28,242 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
32,823 – 28,242 = 4,581 or 4,581 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
32,823 ÷ 28,242 = 1.1603 or an increase of 16%
for deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Alberta 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
34,646,069 X 0.00577 = 199,951 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
219959 – 199,951 = 20,008 or 20,008 lives lost
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
219,959 ÷ 199,951 = 1.0982 or an increase of 10%
in deaths from All Causes among individuals of all ages living in Alberta 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.
