2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | Canada

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in Canada

1. 20,867 of 334,081 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 6.25% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 257% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 5,450 of 277,394 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 15,417 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 56,687 excess All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 41,192 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 210,253 excess All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of Canada’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 257% 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 Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 20,867 of 38,929,902 individuals of all ages living in Canada died from Unknown Causes.

20,867 ÷ 38,929,902 = 0.00054 (2022 CDR)

We’ll use the table below to calculate our Old Normal rate for deaths from Unknown Causes

The table shows there were a total of 69,270 deaths from Unknown Causes among 494,810,187 individuals of all ages living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

69,270 ÷ 494,810,187 = 0.00014 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

38,929,902 X 0.00014 = 5,450 expected deaths

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

20,867 – 5,450 = 15,417

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

20,867 ÷ 5,450 = 3.5736

This reveals 15,417 lives lost and is 357.36% of what we expected (an increase of 257%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among individuals of all ages 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):

62,069 ÷ 259,257,609 = 0.00024 (5-yr CDR)

38,929,902(2022 pop) X 0.00024 = 9,320 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

20,867 – 9,320 = 11,547 or 11,547 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

20,867 ÷ 9,320 = 2.1491 or an increase of 115%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among individuals of all ages 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

298,187,511 X 0.00014 = 41,744 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

82936 – 41,744 = 41,192 or 41,192 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

82,936 ÷ 41,744 = 1.8543 or an increase of 85%

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