2023 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Male – Ages 15-19 | Canada

2023 vs New Normal™ for teen-aged boys aged 15-19 in Canada

1. 150 of 523 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 28.68% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 288% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 27 of 640 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 123 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2023.
6. 117 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2023.
7. 418 excess deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2023)
8. 997 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 9 years of Canada’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 288% compared to Old Normal rates, we need to calculate the rates for both 2023 and for the Old Normal.

Remember, death rates are calculated to answer these questions:

• “How many teen-aged boys aged 15-19 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 2023, 150 of 1,151,648 teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada died from Unknown Causes.

150 ÷ 1,151,648 = 0.00013 (2023 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 396 deaths from Unknown Causes among 16,793,056 teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

396 ÷ 16,793,056 = 0.00002 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2023 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

1,151,648 X 0.00002 = 27 expected deaths

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

150 – 27 = 123

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

150 ÷ 27 = 3.8786

This reveals 123 lives lost and is 387.86% of what we expected (an increase of 288%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada in 2023, as compared to the Old Normal.

This is the same method used by Public Health to calculate the 5-yr CDR (Cumulative Death Rate):

498 ÷ 8,602,988 = 0.00006 (5-yr CDR)

1,151,648(2023 pop) X 0.00006 = 67 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

150 – 67 = 83 or 83 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

150 ÷ 67 = 1.9186 or an increase of 92%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada in 2023, 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

9,754,636 X 0.00002 = 230 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

648 – 230 = 418 or 418 lives lost

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

648 ÷ 230 = 1.9782 or an increase of 98%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among teen-aged boys aged 15-19 living in Canada in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
