Don’t think we are there yet.
We may be. If they were testing for the presence of antibodies and not the virus we would know. If 50% of a country had gotten the virus and got past it before testing, they would test negative for the virus. They have antibodies and cannot transmit or pass the virus. Our current method would treat them as being at risk and make them wear masks etc.
