I'm not really sure that you should be promoting the type of antigen test Avacta do on this bulletin board hants. But to answer your specific points, firstly even the PM and Health Secretary have said the key to getting back to work is the antibody test.
To my knowledge, only one person (from South Korea I believe) was thought to have caught Covid-19 a second time, although it seems the first time was counted twice, so there does seem to be some immunity.
You may well have a point about the antibody passport, but I believe it would do more good than harm.
If 20% of the workforce could safely go back to work, as is suspected in parts of the country, it could mean the difference between companies surviving or folding. It would mean there could be some return to normality.
The antigen test only helps point out if you currently have Covid-19 of course, not if you've had it. There's a place for both, but the antibody test is far from being a tool to help with statistics, it's the test that will get the country working again.
