Clark, great for giving this a push. I'd sincerely hope they are indeed all over it. Exactly what you describe (and the same to get into a gig, restaurant, etc) has been the type of stuff we've been talking about at home, it's the Immunity Passport concept (as applied to antibody testing), but in reverse, being the Not Infectious Passport. There was a government scientific webinar a few days ago which some people attended (mostly in the context of ODX shareholdings, I think) and the scientists were entirely alert to these types of considerations, and talked about various use cases where Have I got It and Have I Had It tests could be put to use. They expressed concerns about e.g. social stratification (in fact, the Have and the Have Nots) and the ramifications. I'm wondering if the Govt (and other Govts) will be tracking towards announcing some form of passporting, with vast purchases of AntiB (e.g. ODX UK RTC) and AntiG (e.g. GDR) kits at the taxpayers expense as a part of this.
