Antibody testing for all
Make sure any citizen can have Coronavirus antibody testing. Tie it to the NHS CHI number so that we can identify those who are immune to COVID. This will let these people circulate, work, socialise and meet family, safe in the knowledge that they cannot contract or pass on COVID (same principles already apply for work and Hep B immunity). This is why the antibody testing is more important than the viral test
Why the contribution is important
Those who are immune can work and function without fear.

There is no guarantee that the virus won’t mutate, in fact it probably will based on past pandemics.
WHO have said this kind of passporting is a bad idea.
It would also leave parts of the population behind if only those with a test showing (apparent) immunity could “work and function without fear”. What happens to those who have not had it yet and are high risk - do they just get left at home forever?

I do agree, those at risk of severe illness, need support to keep shielding until a vaccine, or at least treatment is available. And this support needs to come from all of us, not just the authorities.
By now, there are reliable tests. The WHO also lobbied against travel restrictions at the beginning, and then against the use of face masks. Drug companies competing to find a vaccine, might not be too happy, if too many people showed too many positive antibody test results.
