2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Girls – Ages 5-9 | New York, United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for girls aged 5-9 in New York

1. 64 of 64 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 99.98% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is up 7% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 54 of 54 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 10 excess deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 10 excess All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 19 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 19 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of New York’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are up 7% 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 girls aged 5-9 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 2022, 64 of 539,905 girls aged 5-9 living in New York died from Unknown Causes.

64 ÷ 539,905 = 0.00012 (2022 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 882 deaths from Unknown Causes among 8,794,177 girls aged 5-9 living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

882 ÷ 8,794,177 = 0.00010 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

539,905 X 0.00010 = 54 expected deaths

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

64 – 54 = 10

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

64 ÷ 54 = 1.0748

This reveals 10 lives lost and is 107.48% of what we expected (an increase of 7%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among girls aged 5-9 living in New York 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):

359 ÷ 3,864,679 = 0.00009 (5-yr CDR)

539,905(2022 pop) X 0.00009 = 50 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

64 – 50 = 14 or 14 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

64 ÷ 50 = 1.1521 or an increase of 15%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among girls aged 5-9 living in New York 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

4,404,584 X 0.00010 = 442 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

423 – 442 = -19 or 19 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

423 ÷ 442 = 0.8707 or a decrease of 13%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among girls aged 5-9 living in New York in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
