Houston Announces Plan to Randomly Knock on Doors to Collect Blood Samples to Better Understand COVID


According to the local ABC affiliate, the Health Department has the following goals:

• Understand what caused COVID-19 to spread in certain areas.

• Understand how COVID-19 has spread in Harris County.

• Understand how COVID-19 transmission and infection rates differ among communities.

• Determine the effectiveness of containment strategies that have been utilized during the pandemic.

• Identify the percentage of Harris County residents infected with COVID-19 with no symptoms.

• Improve public health messaging to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

Nothing about these numbers suggests justifying a door-to-door campaign. Nothing. 1% fatality rate. ONE PERCENT. Particularly considering Houston is the fourth largest city in the country.

Sure, the program is voluntary, but there’s something about health officials knocking on your door wanting a blood sample that’s wholly unAmerican, regardless of the circumstances.

They'll do what we let them get away with.

But this door knocking isn't very smart. They should make up something and get people to pay them to give a blood sample. "We can tell your future. Just send us a blood sample and $50....." Then they can make up some BS thing - "You will find your dream job and perfect life partner. You'll become the CEO of a Fortune 500 company."

Ooh! I know!

"Lose weight NOW and KEEP IT OFF! Send us $50 and a blood sample. We'll analyze your sample and tell you how you can lose up to 100 lbs while still eating the foods you love! NO exercise involved!"

Another good one:

"God is angry at the world and will punish us by taking (Donald Trump/Barack Obama/Chrissy Tiegen) home unless you send $50 and a blood sample to this address..."

My reply, "DILLIGAF?"

That's your reply, but how many thousands - millions - of people would be like, "Dang! I don't want that! Mildred! Get the checkbook!"
