Of the 309,912 total deaths observed in 2020, an estimated 16,333 excess deaths occurred (expected deaths: 295,379).Footnote 2 Most of the excess death (11,386) was in older adults.

These two CMAs also have, within their respective provinces, the highest proportions of population groups designated as visible minorities. However, by itself, it is a poor measure of the extent of a health crisis, in particular because it is not overly affected by changes that occur at advanced ages,Note and because it poorly conveys the abrupt changes in the number of deaths that can still cause major problems in the delivery of health care services and for public health institutions in general.Note In this sense, the reduction in LEB is an indicator that complements others, such as fluctuations in the number of daily deaths due to COVID-19 or weekly excess mortality. Modified versions of the 2017 to 2019 tables that reflect the additional mortality caused by COVID-19 are then produced by adjusting certain elements of the table based on the ratio of non-COVID deaths to total deaths (including non-COVID deaths and previously estimated COVID deaths).

In comparison with neighbourhoods having the lowest proportions of population groups designated as visible minorities (less than 1%), those with the highest proportions (25% or more) had a COVID-19 mortality rate about two times higher (Chart 1). In all of these provinces, additional burden from the disease was found in neighbourhoods with higher proportions of population groups designated visible minorities. However, some specific groups represent a higher proportion of the population than others. Is there information outdated? Provisional death counts and excess mortality, January 2020 to February 2021 [Internet]. One study estimated a reduction in LEB due to opioid overdose deaths of 0.11 years for men and 0.02 years for women in Canada in 2017,Note well below the estimated reduction in LEB for men (0.39 years) and for women (0.41 years) associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The aim of this study is to measure the reduction in life expectancy at birth (LEB) as a direct consequence of the pandemic in the country and in the affected provinces. Two essential elements are required to estimate life expectancy: death counts and populations at risk by age or age group. The life table and its construction. In 2020, there was a noticeable increase in the number of deaths occurring in Canadians aged 65 years and older compared to the average number of deaths in the five years prior to the pandemic, especially between mid-March and mid-May and toward the end of the year.

A problem with the post is that it improperly used the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Preventions statistics for modeling pandemic scenarios, not for calculating COVID-19s survival rate. Similar patterns were observed for women and men (data not shown). LEB even experienced a slight decrease of 0.07 years in 2017, which was caused in large part by the opioid epidemic that was raging in Canada.Note In the past decade, LEB has risen by 0.13 years on average.
