Actually, this is a solution, being utilized in other nations, to reopen the economy. Persons with antibodies or vaccinated would be allowed to use mass transit and planes, while others would not. I'm not certain how it would apply to work places. Such differentiation would be unnecessary if the U.S. has good personal protection devices readily available for every citizen (we do not have even have sufficient PPE for our healthcare workers) and made their use mandatory with heavy fines and other penalties for those who did not comply.

If such measures were temporary pending the development of vaccines, that's one thing. Obviously, permanent use of masks would greatly transform our culture.

Before antibiotics, social distancing policies were used to isolate persons with tuberculosis, but I don't think TB is as contagious as the COVID-19 virus.

Of course, we alternatively could just allow the COVID-19 virus annually to ravage our population and our health care systems, if the COVID-19 sticks around and if antibodies offer only limited protection, likely if the virus mutates as with the flu.
