Why self evident? Or are you on your usual rant about the media. The OP looked like an ‘executive summary’ of a longer advice article.

I'm sure this was well intended but I don't take medical advice from anonymous "masters" students on the internet. This is how untold amounts of internet misinformation get circulated. I prefer getting the information I need regarding COVID-19 from the very qualified and identified specialists at CDC and WHO.
I found the advice very sensible. Why object to it? . . .

People go nuts over toilet paper. I have not heard that COVID 19 gives you the runs.

Re: CORONAVIRUS
From a graduate with a master's degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent the following notes on Coronavirus for guidance:
Please watch this pod cast. Dr. Michael Osterholm PHD and director of the center of infectious disease and policy for the Univ. of Michigan disagrees with your grad student with a Masters degree.
It is 1-1/2 hours long and the first hour deals with Covid 19 and the rest with Lyme disease.
It’s hard to know who is right and who is spreading rumors but knowledge is strength. You won’t be disappointed, it worth the time.

Let's be realistic but not panic over this virus. Yes, it is bad. Yes, it kills people. However it appear that the great majority of patients recover quite well, and there appear to be some who have few if any symptoms. (Those asymptomatic people are dangerous, not knowing they have the virus they can spread it.) However, as far as I know the deaths have all been among people with previous medical conditions. It does seem to affect the elderly more than the young, but even among the elderly I've not heard of any deaths of otherwise healthy patients.
Take reasonable precautions and enjoy life.

The answer is self evident only to those capable of independent thought, I should have added that.
Negativity sells.

It is misleading!! Check http://www.snopes.com/news/2020/03/05/uncle-coronavirus
Just use the CDC website for facts.... https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html Or the Mayoclinic website - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/symptoms-causes/syc-20479963

A mixture of common sense and nonsense. "It hates the heat. It will be killed at 26/27 degrees". That's pretty amazingly good news, since the normal body temperature is 37 degrees centigrade! "Drink warm water". Seriously? In order for heat to kill the virus it has to be warm enough to start damaging the RNA and proteins of the virus - which would certainly be warm enough to damage you!

Right. The elderly have a greater chance of dying if they get the virus, but anyone is susceptible.
