‘I Have NOT Been Tested’: 600,000 Accidentally Told They’ve Had COVID-19

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.

“As a survivor of COVID-19, it’s safe to donate whole blood or blood plasma, and your donation could help other COVID-19 patients. Your plasma likely has antibodies (or proteins) present that might help fight the coronavirus infection. Currently, there is no cure for COVID-19. However, there is information that suggests plasma from COVID-19 survivors, like you, might help some patients recover more quickly from COVID-19,” the email said.

Six hours later, Humana issued a mea culpa, Military.com wrote.

“In an attempt to educate beneficiaries who live close to convalescent plasma donation centers about collection opportunities, you received an email incorrectly suggesting you were a COVID-19 survivor. You have not been identified as a COVID-19 survivor and we apologize for the error and any confusion it may have caused,” the company wrote.

Marvin Hill, Humana’s corporate communications lead, said the company apologizes “for the confusion caused by the original message,” which was sent to recipients based on their proximity to a plasma collection facility and not “on any medical information or diagnosis.”

“As a part of an effort to educate military beneficiaries about convalescent plasma donation opportunities, Humana was asked to assist our partner, the Defense Health Agency. Language used in email messages to approximately 600k beneficiaries gave the impression that we were attempting to reach only people who had tested positive for COVID-19. We quickly followed the initial email with a clear and accurate second message acknowledging this. We apologize,” Hill said in a statement sent to Military.com.

Well, proper grammar as well as clarity, correctness and brevity in writing English is RACIST now so it is to be avoided at all costs. /sarcasm—maybe

“Just remember all those people inputting data are human and make mistakes.”

No one made that many mistakes and it was not an error.

They were hoping they wouldn’t be called on it.

[mykroar]

“accidently”

[Lizavetta]

Can someone explain THIS? From the CDC's own website

A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.

Presumed Positive?

[antidemoncrat]

And did the Lame Street Media broadcast the increase in cases was Pres. Trump’s fault?

[SanchoP]

That’s a no brainer. The ChiComs re-engineered the common cold to create a permanent pandemic when applied with the glowbull warming “models”. It’s called a bio-weapon.

“Just remember all those people inputting data are human and make mistakes.”

Funny how no one is ever "mistakenly" reported as negative for China Flu.

[little jeremiah]

Add to those the ones who have antibodies since they had a corona virus cold sometime in the past, or an asymptomatic case of covid sometime.

How many of these “cases” actually got sick and had to get treatment or hospitalization, one wonders?

[bluejean]

Too late to fix that. The “statistics” and healthcare records have no doubt been updated and they are now Covid survivors forever. You can’t fix govt screwups.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yes lets have a mail-in election....

[epluribus_2]

Presumed Positive?

[Thank You Rush]

Boy - that qualifies those at Humana for a job with the federal government - or for that matter with any government. Right on the ball. Issue an apology and move on? YEP!

[Big Red Badger]

Bio-Weapon
and if so, wouldn’t matter if it was delivered
Accidentally or not.

thats insurance fraud

“Just remember all those people inputting data are human and make mistakes.”

A caller to Rush last week is a medical coder in Texas. She said coders across the country are ordered to code non-Covid issues/deaths as Covid.

A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.

Actually, there's four different coronaviri that can cause the common cold. And, given how the ChinaVirus is trending, next year it might just be added to that list. Only somewhat dangerous for old/already sickly people.

[Lizavetta]

How do we know this spike in cases isn’t from cold cases that just read like COVID cases?

[xrmusn]

2 or 3 is a mistake.
200 or 300 is a BIG mistake.

600THOUSAND is a criminal act.

These people are entrusted in the healthcare etc of Veteran Retirees.

Heads should roll over this and if they were ordered to do so by ANY organization, it should be shut down and defunded.

I have a feeling CDC is going to get the WHO ‘treatment’, they have been nothing but a disinformation factory since day one....

People say oh look the numbers went up and I tell them to turn the page because ‘yesterdays’ numbers have been adjusted down.

This is definitely the worst scam ever perpetrated on the American Public, again, if these agencies are ‘ordering’ iffy tests to seemingly boost the numbers then it becomes a criminal enterprise.

If the Fauxi ‘stories’ are true about his dealing with WHO and the prediction from when PDJT was in office etc then he should be investigated...

What was WHO, CDC, Fauxi & Birx’ reaction to the pigflu breakout in early BO years.

Now Gates is pushing a vaccine along with Fauxi....

I have yet to take the flu shot (since USN discharge in the 60s) and NEVER had the flu or whatever they call it.

Not even sure USN gave flu shot but since we set sail for Asia in 1957 (during an ‘Asian Flu’ pandemic) I am sure that was in the volley of shots we all took....
