2022 Deaths – Unknown Causes – Both Sexes – All Ages | United States

2022 vs New Normal™ for individuals of all ages in United States

1. 121,839 of 3,279,754 total deaths were from Unknown Causes
2. 3.71% of all deaths were from Unknown Causes
3. This is down 5% compared to Old Normal rates.
4. 125,410 of 2,730,616 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
5. 3,571 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes in 2022.
6. 549,138 excess All Cause deaths in 2022.
7. 36,755 fewer than expected deaths from Unknown Causes (2015-2022)
8. 2,626,332 excess 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 5% 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 individuals of all ages 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, 121,839 of 326,801,689 individuals of all ages living in United States died from Unknown Causes.

121,839 ÷ 326,801,689 = 0.00037 (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 1,702,208 deaths from Unknown Causes among 4,435,744,070 individuals of all ages living in United States in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.

1,702,208 ÷ 4,435,744,070 = 0.00038 (Old Normal CDR)

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

2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths

326,801,689 X 0.00038 = 125,410 expected deaths

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

121,839 – 125,410 = -3,571

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

121,839 ÷ 125,410 = 0.9469

This reveals 3,571 lives saved and is 94.69% of what we expected (a decrease of 5%) in deaths from Unknown Causes among individuals of all ages 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):

827,229 ÷ 2,242,130,525 = 0.00037 (5-yr CDR)

326,801,689(2022 pop) X 0.00037 = 120,573 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

121,839 – 120,573 = 1,266 or 1,266 lives saved

Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:

121,839 ÷ 120,573 = 0.9838 or a decrease of 2%

for deaths from Unknown Causes among individuals of all ages 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

2,568,932,214 X 0.00038 = 985,823 expected deaths

The difference between actual and expected deaths:

949068 – 985,823 = -36,755 or 36,755 lives saved

Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:

949,068 ÷ 985,823 = 0.9383 or a decrease of 6%

in deaths from Unknown Causes among individuals of all ages living in United States in the New Normal™, as compared to the Old Normal.
