If the government decide that people that have had Covid19 can be introduced back into society to get things moving, how will officials know who has had it?
I'm sure there will be plenty of people who are financially struggling who have NOT had Covid19 who will also want to be out and about in society once again.
How will we know who is safe and who is not?

I imagine it would be antibody tests administered by licensed pharmacies. There is a potential side issue though; whilst it might be economically advantageous there’s a risk that those who consider themselves low risk, particularly those under financial pressure, go out of their way to contract the virus.

If that happens, you potentially end up with a massive spike in cases, particularly amongst the young. And for so many reasons, that could be catastrophic, particularly for older, vulnerable patients who find themselves slipping down the pecking order of who gets saved.

Should do what they do in China and use your phone. You are assigned different colour tags depending on whether you have had the virus, been to somewhere you shouldn't etc.

You then show your phone tag to enter stores/restaurants. Not sure how it would work in UK because the data is shared with government, so you'll have the data privacy dudes moaners up in arms.
