In the name of fighting COVID-19, Harris County (Texas’s largest county) health officials announced a plan that includes randomly knocking on doors to collect blood samples. “Teams of health workers wearing yellow vests will make their rounds from Nov. 15 through Dec. 15, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.” reports the Houston Chronicle. Their plan, they say, is to better determine how many people have been infected with Coronavirus by conducting antibody tests.(Snip)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.

Right. Houston is a liberal town. I would expect they would be assessembling a DNA database. Call me crazy, but I don't trust these people.

"HI, I.m here to take a blood sample from you. No, I dont have a warrant". Where I live, doing so could be life threatening.

Such "research" evokes two Ronald Reagan quotations:
“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the government and I'm here to help.”
“Either you will control your government, or government will control you.”

On a similar and just as crazy plan would be Soylent Green.

Can't help but think the blood sample they will be able to collect will be their own.
These jerks think they can take away all rights in the name of public safety.
Stop it. Now.

"Go away" would be my initial reply, if asked. If they persisted, that would switch to "Get the hell off of my porch before I call the police."

Apologies for a second post. First, I don't believe the positive test result numbers. Otherwise people would be dropping like flies, including protesters.
Notice, when the stuff is hitting the fan about crooked election results, it's all about COVID and everybody has to stay home and isolate ? Squirrel.
Next thing you know, the Internet will crash.

Voluntary? And if one refuses, will that information also be kept? And will they only test for Covid? or will they use the blood samples for DNA or other nefarious uses? And what happens if one is found to have Covid-19 or has had Covid-19? What will Houston do with this information? Will the info be kept secreat or leaked to God only knows? This is Big Brother gone Orwellian. Our indigenous residents were many times asked to turn in their weapons and the Great Chief in Washington would protect them. And the Big Chief really did, screwing them royally. Don't trust Government, even at the local level.

They already tried that in Minnesota....going door to door to collect samples. It did not work out so well. https://www.startribune.com/covid-surveys-halted-in-minn-amid-racism-intimidation/572535141/

when jimmy carter was stumbling through his presidency, he proposed some sort of gadget installed on everyone's TV set so that he could turn on
everyone's tv during a national emergency.

#24 is correct. Meet them at the door with your earschplittinloudenboomer and threaten to take a sample from them.

Come to my door and they can get that sample from what gushes from their nose. And yet, how many will comply with the request?

I believe that all of the corona virus testing and now this is just another excuse to get the DNA of as many Americans as they can for better control when they take over.

I have a relative with a Phd in Microbiology. The detail I've received is latent antibody IgM tests are more inaccurate than Elon Musk taking the active virus PCR nose swab test 4 times and having 2 positives and 2 negatives. The T-cells hold the immunity antibodies and in the healthy population the body produces more and with this weird virus design one may not know their immune system has suppressed it. When the virus is eliminated even in the symptomatics the T-cell numbers fall back to almost immeasurable in small samples making antibodies detection difficult.
