Home isolation in separate rooms: Is it practical?

One of the advisories dished out by the authorities is that persons who are home quarantined need to be in a separate room with attached bathroom. 

And that the things they use should also be exclusive and washed separately. Knowing the housing situations in India, do they know how many people in India have a luxury of owning a house? How many rooms the house would have? How many people reside in a house? Whether the rooms have bathrooms with 24x7 running water?

There are so many such vexing issues but the authorities with blinkers on their eyes and sitting in ivory towers give such ‘well-intentioned advice’ to the common persons. 

Such people who live in houses that have several rooms that are palatial and provided free by the government or in Lutyens bungalows are poking fun at the expense of the people. 

Instead of walking with their noses in the air and a snobbish attitude, they need to be aware of the ground realities and not come out with weird and non-implementable advices with a smug face.
