Janet Gunter, a long Covid patient in the UK, emphasizes the importance of better data collection on Covid prevalence for public health. She shares her experience of living with debilitating long Covid symptoms since 2020 and highlights the impact of inadequate information on her and her partner’s risk of reinfection. Gunter calls for the government to reintroduce effective data collection initiatives, like the defunded ONS Covid Infection Survey, to help individuals make informed decisions and prevent the spread of the virus. She stresses the need for a public health commitment to saving lives, preventing disability, and maintaining economic productivity in the face of the ongoing pandemic.
