Wednesday 28 April 2021, Day 59 of Level 1 😷

Corona Gratitude 🙏

#Grateful for a lovely sunny day at 20C, but with a touch of a winter chill coming through; for an efficient writing and working morning; for being able to register for my vaccination on the Discovery website, already having registered on the Government website; for two Discovery Gameboard plays, guaranteeing me a Woolies voucher next week; for a good Status meeting at Anatoli, it being two months ago that I started working on the account 🙏; for an energizing and exhilarating two hours spent outside, first a power walk giving me 300 Discovery points, and 30000 points total for the year to date now, my goal for this week, and then bumping into Vivian Warby outside my door, the two of us doing a Bakoven walk as well as one up to the Tidal Pool 💙; for an additional 160 Discovery points for balanced healthy food buying; and for being happy, healthy, and free. 🙏💙 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.
