He hopes that by then we'll have the rapid tests deployed and perhaps an antibody test so people can know if they've had it already. He thinks under those circumstances, you can limit how many people need to be locked down - you test, you know you're positive in 15 minutes, you isolate, etc... There would, of course, still be the issue of asymptomatic carries, but hopefully may more people have had this without symptoms than we know and by the end of the year we'll have a bit more immunity throughout communities.
