43 deaths from All Causes were among children aged 5-9
2022 vs New Normal™ for children aged 5-9 in Maryland
- 43 of 43 total deaths were from All Causes
- 99.98% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is down 17% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 48 of 48 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 5 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 71 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All Causes are down 17% 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 children aged 5-9 were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Girls And Boys – Aged 5-9 | Maryland, United-states
Population – Girls And Boys – Aged 5-9 – [2000-2022] | Maryland, United-states
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 43 of 371,417 children aged 5-9 living in Maryland died from All Causes.
43 ÷ 371,417 = 0.00012 (2022 CDR)
The table shows there were a total of 714 deaths from All Causes among 5,525,525 children aged 5-9 living in Maryland in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
714 ÷ 5,525,525 = 0.00013 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
371,417 X 0.00013 = 48 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
43 – 48 = -5
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
43 ÷ 48 = 0.8316
This reveals 5 lives saved and is 83.16% of what we expected (a decrease of 17%) in deaths from All Causes among children aged 5-9 living in Maryland 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):
272 ÷ 2,613,013 = 0.00010 (5-yr CDR)
371,417(2022 pop) X 0.00010 = 39 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
43 – 39 = 4 or 4 lives lost
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
43 ÷ 39 = 1.0147 or an increase of 1%
for deaths from All Causes among children aged 5-9 living in Maryland 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
2,984,430 X 0.00013 = 386 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
315 – 386 = -71 or 71 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
315 ÷ 386 = 0.7581 or a decrease of 24%
in deaths from All Causes among children aged 5-9 living in Maryland 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.
