More than 600,000 people in Tricare, a health care program of the United States Department of Defense Military Health System, received emails July 17 asking if they would donate blood for research as "survivors of COVID-19."
But just 31,000 people affiliated with the U.S. military have been officially diagnosed with the coronavirus, which prompted confusion, Military.com reported last week.
"Just wondering [if] anybody [got] an email from Tricare saying since you are a COVID survivor, please donate your plasma.?? I have NOT been tested," wrote a beneficiary on Facebook. "Just remember all those people inputting data are human and make mistakes."
The mass email went to every beneficiary located near a collection point.

Well, PCR tests are known to be highly susceptible to problems from contamination. They're a lot like an overdriven amplifier.

Too much detail... at the executive level: "so, the test is unreliable, prone to false positives and negatives?" "Yes." "Great, get it out there! Let's undermine confidence in so-called science so we can tell the people what to believe and then what to do without worrying about all this annoying science and evidence stuff."
