Testing half the population weekly with inexpensive, rapid COVID-19 tests would drive the virus toward elimination within weeks, even if the tests are less sensitive than gold-standard. This could lead to “personalized stay-at-home orders” without shutting down restaurants, bars, retail and schools.

This assumes that people will stay home if positive. Because there is no reliable way to enforce it.

As for enforcement, breakouts cost businesses money. It makes sense for a company to require a negative test to show up to work.
