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.

When youre driven into some type of action by screaming idiots with microphones (the media) you dont always make the best decisions. So our government should ignore the media? I agree. Unfortunately, the media in this country dictates what many people believe, so to do so would be political suicide. This points out a major problem in our system. Our policy on things the media latches onto ends up being dictated by an ocean of retards, thus killing any chance at a logical and reasoned approach. Those who scream loudest are the most to blame imo.
