No, that will not work. This virus is so infectious, one person can infect a whole bus by just coughing a few times, or the whole elevator by just breathing in an elevator. By the time he tests positive, he had infected dozens of people.

That's what happened in South Korea, as far as I understand. They missed just one guy out of 31, and he started a massive infection.

Yes, massive testing is indeed better than what we do now, but if you let people to just walk around, it will do absolutely nothing.
