On March 13, 2020, I posted in my Facebook Timeline:

https://www.facebook.com/rjoson2001/posts/10156698403720800

I am 71 years old.

I am a senior citizen. I am a health worker.

In the midst of COVID-19, Makati Government has an order that senior citizens should stay home. With the enhanced community quarantine in Luzon, I am also ordered to stay home because of my age. I am also not allowed to volunteer in the emergency room because of my age.

What will I do? I want to be useful for others in the midst of COVID-19.

Here are what I intend to do and have started a few days ago and have done today:

1. I have launched ROJoson Telemedical Consultation with the following objectives related to COVID-19: a) To protect the Filipino patients from being put at risk of COVID-19 infection when they go to ROJoson Medical Clinic for consultation because of the COVID-19 epidemic.b) To offer online medical consultation services to the Filipino people who cannot or have difficulty going to clinics and hospitals because of the community quarantine and who have no physicians to consult because of closure of clinics during the COVID-19 epidemic. I have several patients today and have appointments for tomorrow (March 19. 2020)

2. I will develop my TPORs on COVID-19 to help the government and the people fight against COVID-19.

3. I will set an example of following the orders of the government on COVID-19. I have been staying home. I have been practicing social distancing even within my house (with 3 people - wife, daughter and me). Tonight, I obeyed to the letter the rule of no walking exercise outside the house. I did an hour and a half of walking within my house going back and forth using the 15 meter-length of my sala and dining area.

4. I facilitated the food donations of my Xavier classmates to PGH frontliners.

5. I facilitated the P170 K donation of my Xavier 66 classmates to HelpThru.Ph to buy alcohol and masks for 35 government hospitals.

6. I facilitated the donation of Rey Go of 160 N95 masks and 1000 surgical masks to the PGH Department of Surgery.

7. I facilitated the donation of Rey Go (P100K) to HelpThru.Ph to buy alcohol and masks for another 20 government hospitals.

8. I will continue to do my Online Collaborative and Interactive Learning on various topics during the COVID-19 crisis - medical education, intentional living, hospital administration, disaster preparedness, etc.

PAHABOL (ADDENDUM):

March 15, 2020, I facilitated the donations of Jen Legaspi of Bactidol mouthwash to Mu Relief for PGH Frontliners.

Will continue the above while at home during the enhanced community quarantine period.

ROJ-OCIL-OLETE on Novel Coronavirus

I officially launched ROJ-OCIL-OLETE on Novel Coronavirus on February 28, 2020.

All Filipinos should be armed with adequate knowledge and skills and proper attitude on how to avoid the infection and how to manage themselves when suspected to be unavoidably infected.
