The most effective stop gap measure right now would be a rapid antibody test combined with testing for Covid-19 if you begin feeling sick (for contact tracing). If you have the antibody then you get back to work. In fact, if you have the antibody right now then you would be a desireable job candidate for many reasons. Mass testing for having the diease will just give you a snap shot at the time and is unrealistic in a country the size (geographically) of America and with 360 million people.
Ha! We couldn't even mass test for people with symptoms. The Alabama governor admitted that under 1% of people in Alabama have been tested. There is no way we will mass test for antibodies. Healthcare workers are amazing and doing a great job. Unfortunately, the administrators are doing an awful job. That includes Fauci and his self righteous speeches. Get something done Fauci..... do your job. Quit telling people it's okay to lose your job because you don't want to expedite a vaccine. It's ridiculous how he can get on every media platform and tell us what we're doing wrong and how many people are going to die. The guy may be a decent doctor, but he can't produce results. He keeps telling us what we're doing wrong, but he won't tell us how to properly fix the issue. Staying home forever isn't going to fix the issue because some people won't have a home to stay at. A vaccine needs to be his top priority..... not bad talking with the media.
