2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Both Sexes – Ages 5-9 | United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for children aged 5-9 in United States

1. 1,506 of 2,567 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 58.67% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 10% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 1,464 of 2,686 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 42 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 119 fewer than expected All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 954 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 2,672 fewer than expected All Cause deaths over the first 8 years of United States’s New Normal™.

1. To show this year’s deaths from Unknown Causes are down 10% 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 Unknown Causes?”

The following 2 charts provide this information:

From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 1,506 of 20,009,195 children aged 5-9 living in United States died from Unknown Causes.

1,506 ÷ 20,009,195 = 0.00008 (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 22,007 deaths from Unknown Causes among 300,679,375 children aged 5-9 living in United States in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

22,007 ÷ 300,679,375 = 0.00007 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

20,009,195 X 0.00007 = 1,464 expected deaths

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

1,506 – 1,464 = 42

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

1,506 ÷ 1,464 = 0.9047

This reveals 42 lives saved and is 90.47% of what we expected (a decrease of 10%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among children aged 5-9 living in United States 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):

9,408 ÷ 142,142,009 = 0.00007 (5-yr CDR)

20,009,195(2022 pop) X 0.00007 = 1,324 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

1,506 – 1,324 = 182 or 182 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

1,506 ÷ 1,324 = 0.9879 or a decrease of 1%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among children aged 5-9 living in United States 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

162,151,204 X 0.00007 = 11,868 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

10914 – 11,868 = -954 or 954 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

10,914 ÷ 11,868 = 0.8091 or a decrease of 19%

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