Alternatively, instead of social distancing, those travelling on international flights - at least - get pre-screened as already immune via a five-minute serum antibody test. That might be a feasible starting point for restarting international passenger travel and even some tourism well before a vaccine shows up.
That said, if our efforts to contain the virus via lockdowns are successful, the numbers will be relatively small because most of us won't have caught it.
