2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly women aged 85-89 in Canada
- 1,160 of 25,920 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
- 4.48% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
- This is up 70% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 678 of 28,007 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 482 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
- 2,087 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
- 735 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
- 23,854 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of Canada’s New Normal™.
- To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 70% 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 women aged 85-89 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from Unknown Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – Unknown Causes – Female – Aged 85-89 | Canada, Canada
Population – Female – Aged 85-89 – [2000-2022] | Canada, Canada
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 1,160 of 313,460 elderly women aged 85-89 living in Canada died from Unknown Causes.
1,160 ÷ 313,460 = 0.00370 (2022 CDR)
Deaths/100,000 Female 85-89 from Unknown Causes
The table shows there were a total of 7,770 deaths from Unknown Causes among 3,590,357 elderly women aged 85-89 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
7,770 ÷ 3,590,357 = 0.00216 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
313,460 X 0.00216 = 678 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
1,160 – 678 = 482
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
1,160 ÷ 678 = 1.7021
This reveals 482 lives lost and is 170.21% of what we expected (an increase of 70%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among elderly women aged 85-89 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):
4,840 ÷ 2,119,597 = 0.00228 (5-yr CDR)
313,460(2022 pop) X 0.00228 = 716 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
1,160 – 716 = 444 or 444 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
1,160 ÷ 716 = 1.6136 or an increase of 61%
for deaths from Unknown Causes among elderly women aged 85-89 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
2,433,057 X 0.00216 = 5,265 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
6000 – 5,265 = 735 or 735 lives lost
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
6,000 ÷ 5,265 = 1.1343 or an increase of 13%
in deaths from Unknown Causes among elderly women aged 85-89 living in Canada 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.
