- There were a total of 10,780 deaths in Nova Scotia in 2022
- 27 of all deaths were among those aged 20-24
27 deaths from All Causes were among people aged 20-24
2022 vs New Normal™ for people aged 20-24 in Nova Scotia
- 27 of 27 total deaths were from All Causes
- 99.96% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is down 32% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 39 of 39 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 12 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 32 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 32% 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 people aged 20-24 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Male – Aged 20-24 | Nova Scotia, Canada
Population – Male – Aged 20-24 – [2001-2022] | Nova Scotia, Canada
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 27 of 67,816 people aged 20-24 living in Nova Scotia died from All Causes.
27 ÷ 67,816 = 0.00040 (2022 CDR)
The table shows there were a total of 497 deaths from All Causes among 867,626 people aged 20-24 living in Nova Scotia in the 14 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
497 ÷ 867,626 = 0.00057 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
67,816 X 0.00057 = 39 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
27 – 39 = -12
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
27 ÷ 39 = 0.6831
This reveals 12 lives saved and is 68.31% of what we expected (a decrease of 32%) in deaths from All Causes among people aged 20-24 living in Nova Scotia 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):
225 ÷ 427,142 = 0.00053 (5-yr CDR)
67,816(2022 pop) X 0.00053 = 36 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
27 – 36 = -9 or 9 lives saved
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
27 ÷ 36 = 0.7417 or a decrease of 26%
for deaths from All Causes among people aged 20-24 living in Nova Scotia 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
494,958 X 0.00057 = 284 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
252 – 284 = -32 or 32 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
252 ÷ 284 = 0.8736 or a decrease of 13%
in deaths from All Causes among people aged 20-24 living in Nova Scotia 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.
