2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men aged 80-84 in British Columbia
- 114 of 3,304 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
- 3.45% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
- This is up 101% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 56 of 3,791 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 58 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
- 487 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
- 125 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
- 3,680 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of British Columbia’s New Normal™.
- To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 101% 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 elderly men aged 80-84 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from Unknown Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – Unknown Causes – Male – Aged 80-84 | British Columbia, Canada
Population – Male – Aged 80-84 – [2000-2022] | British Columbia, Canada
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 114 of 57,521 elderly men aged 80-84 living in British Columbia died from Unknown Causes.
114 ÷ 57,521 = 0.00198 (2022 CDR)
Deaths/100,000 male 80-84 from Unknown Causes
The table shows there were a total of 551 deaths from Unknown Causes among 565,728 elderly men aged 80-84 living in British Columbia in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
551 ÷ 565,728 = 0.00097 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
57,521 X 0.00097 = 56 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
114 – 56 = 58
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
114 ÷ 56 = 2.0142
This reveals 58 lives lost and is 201.42% of what we expected (an increase of 101%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among elderly men aged 80-84 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):
410 ÷ 352,613 = 0.00116 (5-yr CDR)
57,521(2022 pop) X 0.00116 = 67 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
114 – 67 = 47 or 47 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
114 ÷ 67 = 1.6899 or an increase of 69%
for deaths from Unknown Causes among elderly men aged 80-84 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
410,134 X 0.00097 = 399 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
524 – 399 = 125 or 125 lives lost
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
524 ÷ 399 = 1.2985 or an increase of 30%
in deaths from Unknown Causes among elderly men aged 80-84 living in British Columbia 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.
