That would help a lot I would think. I'm not a virologist or in any way knowledgeable of the medical field, but it also seems like that could potentially allow the virus to mutate and then start an infection all over again....maybe?
Either way, I think life as we used to know it is gone. I'm sure our new reality won't be wildly different from how it used to be but I imagine some changes will be made. I would guess a minimum of 6 months to a year before everything is "normal" again though.

I had thought about this too. Getting a sort of 'pass' to roam free after you have the antibodies in your blood.
problem is that then people who have immunity would get preferential treatment. those who quarantined and followed the rules to avoid the virus would be left jobless as no one would want to hire them. It would incentivize people getting sick.
