Average life expectancy vs. average age of death attributed to COVID-19 (Oct 1/21)
Edited/corrected October 1, 2021
I am using official and mainstream information to make my points. See disclaimer at the bottom concerning the following information.
The basic point is:
The average age for deaths attributed to COVID-19 is 83.8 (see Part 1 below).
The average life expectancy for Canadians in 2020 is 81.7 (see Part 2).
The average age at death for Canadians in 2019 is 76.5 (Part 3).

The average age of Canadians who died of COVID-19 in 2020 is 83.8 years. By comparison, the average age at death in Canada in 2019 was 76.5 years.
Part 1: Average or median age for COVID-19 deaths
Go to the official Canadian government COVID-19 data:
COVID-19 daily epidemiology update (There are complete data links at the bottom of the page).
The statistics such as deaths are counted from January 31, 2020 as indicated in Figure 1b, way over a year ago, so those counts are going to keep climbing, which is going to mislead readers as there is no way to compare other diseases (which is the point). Deaths due to other diseases are typically presented for a particular time period such as a year.
Go to Figure 7.
Age and gender distribution of COVID-19 [SELECT “deceased”] in Canada as of September 24, 2021, 7 pm EDT (n=27,400)
n is the number of deaths
0-19: n=16 (0.1%)
20-29: n=70 (0.3%)
30-39: n=164 (0.6%)
40-49: n=379 (1.4%)
50-59: n=1,067 (3.9%)
60-69: n=2,708 (9.9%)
70-79: n=5,603 (20.4%)
80+: n=17,393 (63.5%)
From this, I can only tell that the average age of death is in the 80+ age range, since it covers 63.5% of the deceased.
COVID-19 deaths lowered Canadians’ average life expectancy to 2013 levels: StatsCan | globalnews.ca | June 2, 2021
According to Statistics Canada, the average age at death in Canada in 2019 was 76.5. However, the average age of those who died of COVID-19 in Canada last year was higher at 83.8.
The article is citing this information.
Note that “average age at death” is a different statistic than life expectancy.
(I comment on their interpretation in Part 2, which doesn’t affect my point).
The UK has similar numbers:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/aboutus/transparencyandgovernance/freedomofinformationfoi/averageageofthosewhohaddiedwithcovid19
The UK government concludes that the median age of death “involving COVID-19” is 83 (higher for women) and 83 “due to COVID-19.” The mean (average) age of death “involving COVID-19” was 80.3 and the mean (average) “due to COVID-19” was 80.4.
See Canadians age 85 and older account for over half of excess deaths amid COVID-19: StatCan | CTVNews.ca | November 26, 2020
Between March and June 2020, as COVID-19 spread across the country, Canada saw an estimated 7,576 excess deaths. That figure refers to deaths that exceed the number that would normally be expected during any given period of time.
If that is the case, it is more likely that many of these deaths were attributable to COVID policies combined with the changes in how cause of death was decided (assigning it to COVID instead of focusing on the primary cause as in past years). Policies determined the way vulnerable COVID patients–and other types of patients–were treated, the way elderly people were refused access to hospitals and isolated in care homes, and neglected, and the way surgeries were cancelled (these policies were explicit and confirmed by mainstream media stories). From what I have heard, COVID lockdown and isolation policies increased depression, suicides, abuse and drug overdoses.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/public-health-agency-of-canada-covid-19-statistics-1.5733069 Older article from September 23, 2020. You can see how the numbers game works. Take a look at “cases” and “recoveries” for example. In other years, nobody would have thought of monitoring flu symptoms and recovery times. The message is “this is important” and our brain decides “I have to focus on this” and we do. In the same way, many other things take up our time and attention and and perhaps they shouldn’t.

Part 2: Life expectancy for a Canadian
https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/CAN/canada/life-expectancy
Note: “All 2020 and later data are UN projections and DO NOT include any impacts of the COVID-19 virus” so I will just cite earlier years.
The life expectancy for Canada in 2018 was 82.22 years …
The life expectancy for Canada in 2019 was 82.37 years …
Going by the chart, the life expectancy for 2013 was 81.79.
It’s notable that the life expectancy increase slowed down after 2013.
https://www.cpp.ca/blog/what-is-the-life-expectancy-in-canada/
The latest report from Statistics Canada released in 2019, found that the average life expectancy in Canada is 79.9 years for men and 84 years for women
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041135/life-expectancy-canada-all-time/
For 2020: 82.22 according to this data. For 2015: 81.79.

The average life expectancy of Canadians continues to rise, and has now reached 81.1 years.
Mainstream media reports on COVID period:
COVID-19 deaths lowered Canadians’ average life expectancy to 2013 levels: StatsCan
I don’t accept the conclusion of this article (they are citing this Statistics Canada report) at face value. I don’t see why it is legitimate to single out this particular cause of death without comparing other causes of death. Wouldn’t other causes of death also contribute to a “reduction in life expectancy”? However, it gives us a figure for 2020. They claim that life expectancy dropped to 81.68 years, almost exactly the same as in 2013. I think COVID policies definitely caused additional deaths from various causes (see above) and when people died from various causes (including neglect due to isolation or refusal to administer a proper treatment combined with other serious illnesses), the presence of the COVID virus (vast percentage of false positives) was often blamed rightly or wrongly. In other words I think the drop in life expectancy was more likely due to the anti-human environment created by COVID policies. You can see from the article that they detected bigger drops in life expectancy with some provinces compared to others. This is where they tightened the screws hardest on the elderly.
Important information:
According to Statistics Canada, the average age at death in Canada in 2019 was 76.5. However, the average age of those who died of COVID-19 in Canada last year was higher at 83.8.
Note that “average age at death” is a different statistic than life expectancy. The source I quoted above gave 82.37 as the life expectancy for 2019.
In any case, let’s note that the “average age of those who died of COVID-19 in Canada last year [2020] was higher at 83.8.”
The following is similar to what I mentioned at the top:
As of May 28, 65.7 per cent of COVID-19 related deaths in Canada were reported in those 80 years or older, according to data from Health Canada.
Remembering that we are under siege from all directions, I think this information is also significant from Statistics Canada:
“The opioid crisis, for example, let to a slight decrease in life expectancy at birth of 0.07 years in Canada in 2017,” the report reads.
Part 3: Average Age of Death
The Global News article above quoted Statistics Canada accurately:
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/91f0015m/91f0015m2021002-eng.htm
The average age of Canadians who died of COVID-19 in 2020 is 83.8 years. By comparison, the average age at death in Canada in 2019 was 76.5 years.
I think this is the most relevant statistic and comparison actually. I don’t know if there is a figure available for 2020.
Disclaimers about the government and media information posted above:
The topics of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated and variants–these are topics that others are scrutinizing and dismantling daily. It is really unfortunate how we are being overwhelmed with data, so we have to zero in on one aspect at a time.
January 31, 2020 is a long period of time to be accumulating the numbers for a particular disease and presenting that to the public expecting us to make sense of it. Why don’t we pick the same date and count the total number of cancer deaths from that date? Why doesn’t it present the total deaths attributed to influenza from two years ago? The virus doesn’t go away. No viruses are going away. This one spread early as per scientific studies and these policies don’t stop it spreading. The “cases” include many who aren’t actually sick. If it’s even present, this virus doesn’t automatically make you sick. The COVID dogma is not about health, it’s about control. And other diseases don’t go away because nobody is dealing with the causes of those diseases. If there was a race going on to see which disease numbers climbed sky high first, it would reveal the truth about what our priorities should be (cancer etc.) and we wouldn’t need to count for two years.
The “cases” are misleading. These are happening because people – usually more active younger people – are going to get tested and then they get tested with bogus unreliable tests that give huge numbers of false positives. They may or may not be actually sick. I posted the statement by Ontario public health official Barbara Yaffe and news reports on this topic.
The deaths are distorted. They changed the rules on deciding cause of death in 2020. I posted the WHO document on this. Other articles have discussed this. People are dying with the virus (possibly or because the bogus tests produced a false positive) and it doesn’t mean they are dying because of the virus–they usually have other serious illnesses that in previous years would have been more likely to have been designated as the cause of death. https://www.who.int/classifications/icd/Guidelines_Cause_of_Death_COVID-19-20200420-EN.pdf.
The government and media present a picture that is totally distorted, which doesn’t show the number of people dying from cancer, diabetes, suicide, etc. They don’t necessarily present false information. They more often skew the information to leave out important facts. They lie by omission and also by false emphasis. Also, I also believe they are often using third parties to lie directly. Governments have also created new systems with arbitrary numbers which they can use to scare the public with such as ICU cut-off numbers they have decided to use for their newly introduced (in 2020) arbitrary rationing / death panel systems to give the impression that ICUs aren’t normally full at certain times of year.
As this atrocity continues, more people starting with the most vulnerable will die as a result of the consequences of COVID policies and other austerity measures. It is clear to me that more elderly did die from neglect due to isolation and refusal to provide proper treatment, stated in explicit https://www.who.int/classifications/icd/Guidelines_Cause_of_Death_COVID-19-20200420-EN.pdf, starting in the spring of 2020.
Also, asking and requiring answers about medical symptoms is an invasive violation of privacy. Requiring people to wear masks is invasive. Requiring people to disclose vaccination status is invasive. Taking their temperature is invasive. These types of things should only be done by a health professional when a person is sick and needs attention. Health care should be about helping those who are sick. Quarantine should only be for those who are sick. Assertions about viruses being spread around by people is bogus because nobody stops them from spreading. Viruses are everywhere. Not everybody gets sick. I quote an expert on this.
The focus of attention on COVID is to provide a cover story to implement dictatorial measures that are biologically invasive in terms of monitoring data, control and feedback of human beings. The scale of corruption involved in focusing attention on this and misusing resources in this way seems to be unprecedented and has required a society that has been mind-bombed and morally altered to an endless degree by entertainment media, drugs and other toxins–as described in Brave New World, and by other globalist writers and as prefigured by the MKUltra experiments of decades past.
