Bring R-0 < 1 through home lock-down, then quick ubiquitous testing to keep it that way. Only works if you secure the quick ubiquitous testing part.

I'm not convinced it works even in that case, unless it is reduced to the level of temperature gun even for asymptomatics... even a quick 5 minute test as a gatekeeping device might be far too much friction and cost for most high-flow physical space transactional environments
