Thanks to all who provided the "debunked" info and links.

This bit remains accurate, however:

Stay safe, stay well, dear DUers.

And thank you, EarlG, Skinner, and Elad for making this community available. As more of us are practicing isolation, quarantine, social distancing, etc., this is a true gift- a place to communicate, connect, and share information.

appreciatively,
Bright

3. This email did not come from Stanford. It contains inaccurate information and is a hoax.

You may have received it from a concerned family member or coworker, or seen it shared on social media–but that list of coronavirus “tips” that’s been making the rounds is officially a hoax.

“A widely distributed email about COVID-19 that is attributed to a ‘Stanford Hospital board member’ contains inaccurate information,” says Lisa Kim, a spokesperson for Stanford Health Care and the Stanford School of Medicine. “It did not come from Stanford Medicine.”

Tips include taking a few sips of water every 15 minutes to wash the virus down through your throat and into your stomach, and testing yourself by holding your breath for ten seconds.

Kim recommends members of the public is seeking legitimate information about the illness and prevention visit Stanford’s extensive coronavirus FAQ site or visit the website of the CDC, rather than rely on chain letters.

I believe there was a thread with a press release from Stanford denouncing this as not real.

6. Thank You! I wish it has been legit.

It would have been very nice to have an little, effective, morning breathing test.

Oh well.

The motivation to distribute something like that is far beyond me. What is the point?
