And this is exactly the reason why governments didn’t select for any factor in the first lockdowns and why the discussion about whether it is fair to exclude group X has merit - because while the effectiveness of such measures is high, the efficiency is not.
This would change the situation drastically. A government just tests the whole population on that marker and knows with a very high degree of confidence who is vulnerable.
