Miley Cyrus may well find herself topping the list of most helpful celebrities when it comes to dishing out advice for the novel coronavirus currently sweeping the globe. The 27-year-old singer was quick to post an infographic showing how to correctly wash one's hands, with her more recent activity extending to what is actually a problem that needs solving – grocery store hoarding.
Amid the "Hannah Montana" throwbacks (epic ones came with the star cleaning and in a face mask), there's been some racier content shared to Miley's Instagram. A throwback of a 2019 twerk was posted last night – while Miley working her booty won't cure COVID-19, it can't hurt, right?

The video shared to Miley's stories (seen below) showed the star pre-mullet and in 2019 as she took to Instagram for a mega twerking session from her home gym. The "SHE IS COMING" singer was seen showing off her yoga and gym-honed frame in a teeny tiny pair of black booty shorts, with space between them and a white sports bra also flaunting the star's rock-hard abs.
The wild footage saw Miley get down on the floor and deliver the mother of all twerks – the video shared to the singer's stories last night came with music from rapper Cardi B.
"@iamcardib x coronavirus," Miley wrote.

Miley made headlines over the weekend for sharing some advice and addressing what's becoming a major issue as the general public strips shelves bare in the battle to stock up on essentials – and, it would seem, everything.
"Be thoughtful. Respectful. Compassionate. HUMAN. while preparing for social distancing.... NO ONE needs every soup in the store, The more we hoard the more expensive and sparse necessities will become, leaving many without essentials," she began, then suggesting that people be considerate when making their purchases.

"This is a great time to practice restraint... it’s incredibly difficult to make smart decisions while panicking , but think twice before following the fear and being inconsiderate. There is enough to go around if we take care of one another. This is a beautiful time to LEAD!" Miley added.
Her post currently sits at over 2.2 million likes.
Miley was also filmed cleaning her kitchen recently by 23-year-old boyfriend Cody Simpson. The singer has not been spotted out and about at all over the past few days.

Paparazzi images have shown plenty of celebs stocking up. "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria has been spotted with her purchases, as has former "Teen Mom OG" star Farrah Abraham (complete with gloves and a face mask). Meanwhile, on Instagram, 23-year-old model and girlfriend to rapper Future Lori Harvey shared her three overflowing carts as she stocked up on Gatorade and essentials.
There's money to be made, though. Scott Disick recently dropped $129 "PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS" hoodies via his Talentless clothing line – the ex to Kourtney Kardashian also enlisted the help of Kendall Jenner and mom Kris for the promo.
Miley has also canceled her Australia Bushfire Relief concert due to coronavirus.
