Good luck with that.
Agreed with your pessimism. There's no way the vaccine will be the defining factor.

My personal opinion is accurate, rapid testing will be the savior. We've seen already within a few weeks of the virus that testing was able to scaled quickly with accurate results. My thoughts are that a rapid test, with 99.9% accurate results will become available at some point in the future that can be scaled on massive levels, and you will require one on check in at the airport.
