2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Pre-school Boy – 1-4 | New York, United States

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

1. 94 of 94 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 99.99% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 16% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 108 of 108 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 14 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 14 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 216 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 221 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 down 16% 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 Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 94 of 431,487 pre-school boys aged 1-4 living in New York died from Unknown Causes.

94 ÷ 431,487 = 0.00022 (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 1,799 deaths from Unknown Causes among 7,219,388 pre-school boys aged 1-4 living in New York in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

1,799 ÷ 7,219,388 = 0.00025 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

431,487 X 0.00025 = 108 expected deaths

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

94 – 108 = -14

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

94 ÷ 108 = 0.8405

This reveals 14 lives saved and is 84.05% of what we expected (a decrease of 16%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among pre-school boys aged 1-4 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):

612 ÷ 3,269,985 = 0.00019 (5-yr CDR)

431,487(2022 pop) X 0.00019 = 81 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

94 – 81 = 13 or 13 lives lost

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

94 ÷ 81 = 1.1050 or an increase of 10%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among pre-school boys aged 1-4 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

3,701,472 X 0.00025 = 922 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

706 – 922 = -216 or 216 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

706 ÷ 922 = 0.7359 or a decrease of 26%

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