With August behind us, we now have another month of notable deaths to analyze.
August 2022 saw 726 deaths, which is well below August 2020 with 933 deaths, but still well above August 2019 with 585 deaths and August 2018 with 576 deaths:
- 576 in August 2018
- 585 in August 2019
- 933 in August 2020
- 832 in August 2021
- 726 in August 2022
August is a month that tends to see high death rates among those younger than 70 years of age. This is due to accidents related to summer activities. But August 2022 was different than normal in this respect, with 21.5% of deaths among those younger than 70 years of age. This is in line with what we had in August 2020 and 2021 when travel restrictions were at their most intrusive. Relative to young people, this August saw an unusual high death rate among the elderly:
- 24.13% in August 2018
- 24.27% in August 2019
- 20.26% in August 2020
- 22.23% in August 2021
- 21.49% in August 2022
Using a severity formula that divides old deaths by 10 and multiplies young deaths by 4 we get the following:
- 604 in August 2018
- 612 in August 2019
- 830 in August 2020
- 804 in August 2021
- 681 in August 2022
August 2022 came in at 681, which is a big improvement over August 2020 with 830, but still substantially higher than 2018 and 2019 with 604 and 612 respectively.
