Harris County Public Health to conduct random COVID-19 antibody testing

Harris County Public Health (HCPH) announced they will be conducting a survey to test randomly selected residences in the area for COVID-19 antibodies.

To better grasp how many residents have already been infected with the coronavirus, HCPH has put together an outreach team ready to deploy to various county areas to administer the test from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 15 to Dec. 15, according to a press release.

Some of the goals HCPH has for the survey include:

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

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

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

Participation in the survey is voluntary and outreach teams can be identified by the yellow vest they will be wearing and identification cards they will present.

I would tell them to take their “survey” and shove it.

Then again, I don’t live in Harris County, Texas.

Lol. Like I’m going to allow govt spies who are likely visiting Covid cases and thus likely have Covid virus on them to enter my property.

They are trying to spread it. That’s why the months of lockdown did no good. It’s purposefully being spread to pave the way for the Great Reset and Agenda 21.

So, how long before voluntary becomes required? Given how we as a country reacted (or more to the point, didn’t object) to the lockdowns leads me to believe it’s coming and soon with a POTUS Biden.

I took an antibody test back in May. I wasn’t feeling ill, just curious to see if I’d WuFlu earlier.

The test came back with results that indicated I had a current infection.

A week later I went in for a PCR.

That came back negative.

I hope the testing has improved.

Lockdowns do not work, simply because it is a virus and they know it! Pushing fear to establish control, is all it is.

I didn’t use a state or county facility, BTW.

I went private.

The state and county labs are even more suspect.

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

LOL. There ARE NO containment strategies except staying home and staying away from crowds if you go out.

This "study" sounds like a bunch of researchers with nothing else to do.

Voluntary today. Then “voluntary.” Next there’s a fine if you refuse. Some time later, it’s arrest for not compliance.

Creeping fascism.

I was just saying this to my wife the other day. I am scheduled for a physical ( Remotely ) because my Doc is well past retirement age and can’t say I blame him. I am supposed to have all the required blood work done a few days before and I was wondering what is to stop the feds from requiring a China virus test that I or my Doc would never know about ??

As long as it’s voluntary and private, it makes scientific sense to do wide statistical testing to get an idea of how widespread the Beer Flu actually is. The “cases” number of people who bothered to get tested is likely much lower than the actual number of people who got exposed but didn’t show any significant symptoms, and didn’t bother to get tested, if they knew anything was up at all.

They should have been doing this all along.
