2022 Deaths – All Causes – Girls And Boys – 5-9 | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for children aged 5-9 in Canada

1. 214 of 214 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 8% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 211 of 211 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 3 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 315 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 8% 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 children aged 5-9 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, 214 of 2,062,572 children aged 5-9 living in Canada died from All Causes.

214 ÷ 2,062,572 = 0.00010 (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 2,892 deaths from All Causes among 28,242,343 children aged 5-9 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

2,892 ÷ 28,242,343 = 0.00010 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

2,062,572 X 0.00010 = 211 expected deaths

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

214 – 211 = 3

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

214 ÷ 211 = 0.9231

This reveals 3 lives lost and is 92.31% of what we expected (an increase of 8%) in deaths from All Causes among children aged 5-9 living in Canada 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):

1,132 ÷ 14,159,696 = 0.00008 (5-yr CDR)

2,062,572(2022 pop) X 0.00008 = 165 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

214 – 165 = 49 or 49 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

214 ÷ 165 = 1.1535 or an increase of 15%

for deaths from All Causes among children aged 5-9 living in Canada 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

16,222,268 X 0.00010 = 1,661 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1346 – 1,661 = -315 or 315 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

1,346 ÷ 1,661 = 0.7382 or a decrease of 26%

in deaths from All Causes among children aged 5-9 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
