With the tremendous events that have transpired since the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic in our lives, we public health and community medicine practitioners and academic educators simply cannot just say that we will have to shift to blended or online platforms in teaching our students. We simply cannot just prepare ourselves to learn the different online ways of communicating to our students and teach them public health. More than that, and more importantly, we must put our students in full grasp of the effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has wrought on our economy, the people's lives. Make our students aware of the challenges posed on us, and on them, the lack of mass testing, the new phenomenon of LSIs nowhere in the world, the overwhelming of hospitals yet there are many floors left vacant, the billions of dollars spent on PPEs and yet frontliners are getting quarantined, the no-takers of vacant positions for doctors and nurses in overwhelmed hospitals, and many other issues. We can make modules in our courses that are contextualized on the basic facts about COVID-19 using videos of the WHO, time line of the pandemic in our country, the various measures implemented by the DOH and government agencies and the private sector to control the epidemic, and address the effects of the lockdown on people's lives, the struggles of jeepney drivers, OFWs, LSIs, informal and middle class sectors who lost their jobs, and many other pressing issues that seem to have no end in resolving. We can have online forums with our students on how they feel about what is happening, the effects of the lockdown and loss of jobs on people's health and well-being, and raise their opinions on what they can do, what the government has to do more, and the role of the private sector, the academe in addressing the impact of the crisis. There is really so much that we educators can do and must do.
