I have a lot of problems with this conceptually, but I think we should do something like this eventually. My biggest problem is my wife is sick, I’m not, I have a certificate that says I’m totally fine but I could now be infected, might be contaminating things, etc. What good is a certificate? We’d need to be tested almost constantly for it to mean anything.



The goal would not to be 100% sure, only to reduce the spread to fall below R0 < 1 while keeping the economy running and people sane.

And yes, you would have to be re-tested regularly.
