- There were a total of 102,342 deaths in Georgia in 2022
- 13,033 of all deaths were among those aged 75-79
13,033 deaths from All Causes were among elderly men and women aged 75-79
2022 vs New Normal™ for elderly men and women aged 75-79 in Georgia
- 13,033 of 13,033 total deaths were from All Causes
- 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is down 8% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 14,154 of 14,154 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 1,121 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 8,482 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 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 elderly men and women aged 75-79 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Both Sexes – Aged 75-79 | Georgia, United-states

Population – Both Sexes – Aged 75-79 – [2000-2022] | Georgia, United-states
![Graph showing Population - Both Sexes - Aged 75-79 - [2000-2022] | Georgia, United-states](/wp-content/plugins/dfuc-display/charts/united-states/georgia/2022/all/Both Sexes/75-79-pop.png)
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 13,033 of 314,166 elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in Georgia died from All Causes.
13,033 ÷ 314,166 = 0.04148 (2022 CDR)
Deaths/100,000 Both Sexes 75-79 from All Causes

The table shows there were a total of 119,535 deaths from All Causes among 2,653,139 elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in Georgia in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
119,535 ÷ 2,653,139 = 0.04505 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
314,166 X 0.04505 = 14,154 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
13,033 – 14,154 = -1,121
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
13,033 ÷ 14,154 = 0.9206
This reveals 1,121 lives saved and is 92.06% of what we expected (a decrease of 8%) in deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in Georgia 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):
73,478 ÷ 1,794,262 = 0.04095 (5-yr CDR)
314,166(2022 pop) X 0.04095 = 12,866 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
13,033 – 12,866 = 167 or 167 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
13,033 ÷ 12,866 = 1.0128 or an increase of 1%
for deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in Georgia 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
2,108,428 X 0.04505 = 94,993 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
86511 – 94,993 = -8,482 or 8,482 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
86,511 ÷ 94,993 = 0.9105 or a decrease of 9%
in deaths from All Causes among elderly men and women aged 75-79 living in Georgia 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.
