Corona Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a well organized smooth-flowing day, being away from home from 7h30 – 17h30, taking Earl Grey to be sterilized at the vet in Diepriver; for getting my day’s writing done at Knead at the Constantia Enporium, spoilt by Ollie with pots of tea and a hot cross bun, their Wifi working perfectly; for a fabulous shop at Checkers at the mall, with lovely efficient and friendly cashiers, compared to Sea Point, and good offers and discounts đŸ˜±; for an eating drive to Muizenberg, all three my visits disappointing; for a lovely tea and apple tart treat at the home of Rose Klein and Werner, also in Diepriver, from where I fetched Earl Grey, looking good and not having any wounds or bandages, happy to see each other again đŸ˜»; for a very quick walk to Camps Bay and back, such good cardio that I earned 300 Discovery points; and for being happy and healthy. 🙏💙 Continue reading →

Discovery gets ready to assist in the mass vaccination of 37 million SA adults!

 

Discovery CEO Adrian Gore has sent an email letter to his clients, updating them on his company’s preparation for the speedy vaccination of its members. The good news is that his members have no need to take any action now, on a ….. don’t call us, we’ll call you ….. basis, so refreshing! Discovery members are to be notified when to register for the vaccinations.

Gore writes in an informal style, addressing me by my first name and signing off in his. No Mr/Ms/Mrs corporate nonsense!

Vaccinations for the 37 million adults in our country are to be available soon, although a date is not known. Discovery is developing its own ‘Mass Vaccination Programme’, aiming to vaccinate the 3 million Discovery Health Scheme members at the rate of 50000 persons per day. Discovery is working with other bodies to get its members vaccinated ahead of the current Government planned time estimate of October 2021 – February 2022, and could be as early as the end of April 2021. Vaccines are to be sourced from Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer-BioNTech.

Discovery updates its members about Vaccinations…. yet many questions remain unanswered!

 

In an email received as a Discovery member from Adrian Gore, the Medical Scheme CEO, it is clear that while Discovery will pay its members’ vaccination cost, it is awaiting Government action and announcement as to which of its members will be eligible for the vaccinations and when.

Not sharing how many members it has in total, Gore does reveal that 5000 of Discovery members and 12 of its staff have died from the Corona Virus. A Google search revealed that the company has 3,5 million members.

Discovery estimates that half of the South African population has been infected with the Corona Virus, vastly different to the official Health Department figures.
