2022 Deaths – All Causes – Pre-school Boy – 1-4 | Illinois, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for pre-school boys aged 1-4 in Illinois

1. 86 of 86 total deaths were from All Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from All Causes
3. This is up 2% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 85 of 85 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 1 excess deaths from All Causes in 2022.
6. 147 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)

1. To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are up 2% 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 pre-school boys aged 1-4 were there?” and
• “How many of them died from All Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 86 of 280,384 pre-school boys aged 1-4 living in Illinois died from All Causes.

86 ÷ 280,384 = 0.00031 (2022 CDR)

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

The table shows there were a total of 1,571 deaths from All Causes among 5,188,470 pre-school boys aged 1-4 living in Illinois in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

1,571 ÷ 5,188,470 = 0.00030 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

280,384 X 0.00030 = 85 expected deaths

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

86 – 85 = 1

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

86 ÷ 85 = 0.9806

This reveals 1 lives lost and is 98.06% of what we expected (an increase of 2%) in deaths from All Causes among pre-school boys aged 1-4 living in Illinois 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):

508 ÷ 2,167,934 = 0.00023 (5-yr CDR)

280,384(2022 pop) X 0.00023 = 66 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

86 – 66 = 20 or 20 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

86 ÷ 66 = 1.2554 or an increase of 26%

for deaths from All Causes among pre-school boys aged 1-4 living in Illinois 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

2,448,318 X 0.00030 = 741 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

594 – 741 = -147 or 147 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

594 ÷ 741 = 0.7757 or a decrease of 22%

in deaths from All Causes among pre-school boys aged 1-4 living in Illinois in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
