- There were a total of 69,191 deaths in Washington in 2022
- 360 of all deaths were among those in their first year of life
360 deaths from All Causes were among babies in their first year of life
2022 vs New Normal™ for babies in their first year of life in Washington
- 360 of 360 total deaths were from All Causes
- 100.00% of all deaths were from All Causes
- This is down 16% compared to Old Normal rates.
- 428 of 428 total deaths would have been expected under Old Normal conditions.
- 68 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes in 2022.
- 536 fewer than expected deaths from All Causes (2015-2022)
- To show this year’s deaths from All 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 babies in their first year of life were there?” and
- “How many of them died from All Causes?”
The following 2 charts provide this information:
Deaths – All Causes – Baby – In Their First Year Of Life | Washington, United-states
Population – Baby – In Their First Year Of Life – [2000-2022] | Washington, United-states
From the charts, we can see that in 2022, 360 of 84,431 babies in their first year of life living in Washington died from All Causes.
360 ÷ 84,431 = 0.00426 (2022 CDR)
The table shows there were a total of 6,450 deaths from All Causes among 1,272,297 babies in their first year of life living in Washington in the 15 years immediately prior to the New Normal™.
6,450 ÷ 1,272,297 = 0.00507 (Old Normal CDR)
We can use the Old Normal rate to predict this year’s deaths:
2022 pop X Old Normal CDR = expected deaths
84,431 X 0.00507 = 428 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths shows lives saved or lost:
360 – 428 = -68
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths gives us the comparative rates:
360 ÷ 428 = 0.8394
This reveals 68 lives saved and is 83.94% of what we expected (a decrease of 16%) in deaths from All Causes among babies in their first year of life living in Washington 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):
2,662 ÷ 617,441 = 0.00431 (5-yr CDR)
84,431(2022 pop) X 0.00431 = 364 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
360 – 364 = -4 or 4 lives saved
Divide actual deaths by expected deaths:
360 ÷ 364 = 0.9867 or a decrease of 1%
for deaths from All Causes among babies in their first year of life living in Washington 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
701,872 X 0.00507 = 3,558 expected deaths
The difference between actual and expected deaths:
3022 – 3,558 = -536 or 536 lives saved
Dividing the actual deaths by the expected deaths:
3,022 ÷ 3,558 = 0.8476 or a decrease of 15%
in deaths from All Causes among babies in their first year of life living in Washington 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.
