You won’t be able to scale your solution before a vaccine is out, rendering your entire solution useless unfortunately. Johnson and Johnson have already started scaling their vaccine and plan to have 1 billion doses available by January 2021. If their vaccine is approved, it will be an instant solution and better than testing everyone every day. Moderna has also started the process of scaling their solution as well but J&J have a head start and a known platform. |

Why not? Scaling a test is a completely separate exercise to scaling a vaccine, and it has the advantage that multiple proven working tests exit now, they just need to be scaled. Both can be done, by different people.
You might also find that having a vaccine and a test is better than having just a vaccine.
> If their vaccine is approved
Multiple vaccines are in development. This is not a situation where we should stop doing X now because Y _might_ happen in 8 months or more time. None of the vaccines are guaranteed to be ready and working and scaled at any given date. None of them.
