#2In the US, the right to travel is one of the most basic. The right to work comes along somewhere close to that. I couldn't have imagined Americans would ever stand for such a thing, but current attitudes seem poised to easily fall over to that.

#3Should we also get a “Flu pass 2020”, seeing as the common flu can also be quite deadly?
And if the virus mutate into a new variant what then, another pass?
For those with chronic diseases and the very old, the next 6-12 months will be very difficult and staying at home while practicing distancing will be a good start. The data seems to support that the rest of the population should be able to go about their ways without any pass.

Interstate travel is being shut down in certain us regions like you aren’t being allowed to travel from Louisiana to Florida or New York to Florida so it’s possible

#5All of this seems invasive, but so does a pandemic. Someone has to come up with a plan on how to reboot the world, and this is a good first step.

Yes, the article states they are being tested in Italy.
One was just approved for the USA 2 days ago. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/health/coronavirus-antibo...

There are 19th century legal cases backing up travel restrictions to prevent disease spread. It’s not something we’re used to after the mid-20th-century eradication of most major diseases from the USA but there is ample precedent in our constitution and laws for it.
For instance, https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/186/380/ “ That from an early day the power of the states to enact and enforce quarantine laws for the safety and the protection of the health of their inhabitants has been recognized by Congress is beyond question. That until Congress has exercised its power on the subject, such state quarantine laws and state laws for the purpose of preventing, eradicating, or controlling the spread of contagious or infectious diseases, are not repugnant to the Constitution of the United States although their operation affects interstate or foreign commerce is not an open question. The doctrine was elaborately examined and stated in Morgan Steamship Company v. Louisiana Board of Health, 118 U. S. 455”

There is a quadrivalent vaccine available for the flu. And the coronavirus is at least 10x more deadly than the flu. It makes sense to treat it differently.

#10Cuomo also talked about this. I'll give it to end of April to you have most people back if not early may. This test, unlike the other one, holds a lot of financial weight so it's going to get a lot of people on Wallstreet and small business wanting to sponsor these tests.
