'5 years on, true counts of COVID-19 deaths remain elusive − and research is hobbled by lack of data.'

5 years on, are global mortality tracking systems suitably equipped, and prepared, to meet similar public health crises?

5 years on, true counts of COVID-19 deaths remain elusive − and research is hobbled by lack of data
Death data in the US is fragmented, incomplete and inconsistent. The consequences of undercounted deaths and lack of real-time tracking continue to be felt with each new public health crisis.

‘For many mourners, March brings a flood of memories of how the pandemic upended their lives.’
This is when my loved one got sick.
This is when my loved one went on the ventilator.
This is when my loved one passed away.
All those dates are forever written in their minds.’

Long Covid is real and demands our attention. We need treatments, research, and a cure.

That's why I spent the last two months making sure this resolution passed.
