I thought the idea was to test those who are symptomatic after returning

to the workplace, and then isolate and treat them, and find out who they were exposed to.

In light of the antibody test results, this idea might be DOA. Because we would probably have many times more people who are asymptomatic spreading COVID than those showing symptoms.

Right now I don't see a way we return to work without some form of cheap, easy, fast, widespread testing.
