I disagree that he's asking people to take a big gamble. While it seems unrealistic to me, Dr. Burry made a point of tying his recommendation to widespread, rapid testing and contact tracing. If these things were in place, I do think letting people that aren't in the most vulnerable population groups out and about might be reasonable.
"A more nuanced approach would be for at risk groups — the obese, old and already-sick — to shelter in place, to execute widespread mandatory testing, and to ID and track as necessary while allowing society to function. Again, Trump should get the massive contract manufacturers like Flextronics to make testing machines."
That said, we are still having problems getting the tests out and people are still complaining that it will take days to get results back. I personally know a pharmacist with an at-risk child who can't get a test as of last week. So this seems like wishful thinking to me.
