That's a form of the herd immunity theory that O.City has been big on. In theory, even if the entire population isn't "immune," clusters of people (like those in hospitals and nursing homes) have either gotten it already or won't.
The antibody testing makes it seem unlikely that that's happening, but if there's any truth to the idea that a significant portion of people are naturally immune (e.g., because they got a related coronavirus recently), it's theoretically possible as far as I understand it.
