Mandatory testing of everyone now or we are fucked. South Korea shows this will work. It's great we're all being such good little soldiers with the social distancing but it's not going to be enough on its own.

Why not?
We need to be able to track new infections if we want to leave our houses any time in the next year.

But if we get a negative result then leave the house and become infected, doesn't that mean that we actually need multiple, frequent tests per person to get an accurate reading?

Not necessarily. This dovetails into other strategies like temperature checks at the door and masks in public places that are imperfect but useful. You need a sparse random survey, test everyone with symptoms and a bunch of epidemiologists to trace the contacts of positives.
