Hi

Nope.

This is a niche site, Facebook and Instagram are not.

And as Swimmy says, (and I mentioned before) you will be gradually ostracised from society if you can't prove you have had it. Sounds very dramatic, I know, but I wouldn't put anything past the Govt.
The COVID-19 pandemic may yet have only been a warning which has allowed governments to prepare for the next pandemic, if they've learned the lessons .....

One thing is clear - testing and lockdowns help to control pandemics but only vaccines can (temporarily) halt them .....

So ..... any remnant of the current pandemic must be stopped in its' tracks and anyone at risk of catching/ communicating the current infection must be treated with a vaccine (or similar) or lose all citizen's rights .....

More than 2,300 cases of Indian variant now in UK, Matt Hancock says

https://news.sky.com/story/covid-19-...-says-12309280

The health secretary tells MPs there are now 86 local authority areas with five or more confirmed cases of the COVID-19 variant.

Delivering a COVID-19 statement in the Commons, Matt Hancock said 483 cases have been confirmed in Bolton and Blackburn with Darwen, where the variant is now the dominant strain.

There are fears the variant - which could be as much as 50% more transmissible than the variant that emerged in Kent at the end of last year and led to England's third lockdown - could delay the lifting of all legal limits on social contact on 21 June, step four of the roadmap.
This outbreak could have been so easily avoided - let's hope that it doesn't get much worse .....
