2022 Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | British Columbia, Canada

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

1. 45,380 of 45,380 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 20% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 37,741 of 37,741 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 7,639 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 26,444 excess deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 20% 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:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 45,380 of 5,319,324 individuals of all ages living in British Columbia died from All Causes.

45,380 ÷ 5,319,324 = 0.00853 (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 431,507 deaths from All Causes among 60,817,928 individuals of all ages living in British Columbia in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

431,507 ÷ 60,817,928 = 0.00710 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

5,319,324 X 0.00710 = 37,741 expected deaths

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

45,380 – 37,741 = 7,639

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

45,380 ÷ 37,741 = 1.2007

This reveals 7,639 lives lost and is 120.07% of what we expected (an increase of 20%) in deaths from All Causes among individuals 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):

267,332 ÷ 35,028,167 = 0.00763 (5-yr CDR)

5,319,324(2022 pop) X 0.00763 = 40,597 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

45,380 – 40,597 = 4,783 or 4,783 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

45,380 ÷ 40,597 = 1.1164 or an increase of 12%

for deaths from All Causes among individuals 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

40,347,491 X 0.00710 = 286,268 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

312712 – 286,268 = 26,444 or 26,444 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

312,712 ÷ 286,268 = 1.0908 or an increase of 9%

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