RTE viewers criticized last night’s Claire Byrne Live as “completely ridiculous” after a segment on how to have a free Covid Christmas dinner.
Professor Cliona Ni Cheallaigh shared her tips to prevent the spread of the deadly virus this holiday season.
Hostess Claire asked about the fear of households getting mixed up, the hugging policy, and whether visitors are required to bring their own silverware.
Cliona said: “Ventilation is really important and I think in all the things that are emphasized, I don’t think there is enough emphasis on ventilation.
“So yeah, open the windows, open the doors. I think a good way to think about it is that Covid can be a bit like smoke in the air, so what would you do if you had an older uncle smoking a pipe or some cigarettes? in the living room on Christmas day and wanted to remove that smell?
“We are much less worried now than in March.
“The evidence shows that touching things has a fairly low risk and is about much more than what you inhale and exhale.”
‘LORD HELP US ALL’
Fans at home were less than impressed with the guidelines.
One person wrote: “My head is exploding. #Cblive How to have a safe Christmas dinner? This is completely ridiculous.”
Another added: “Here’s the section” WTF is this? “From the program. #CBLive”.
Someone else tweeted: “How to eat your Christmas dinner #click # bullsh1t #cblive leave your grandmother outside, she will just have hypothermia.”
Aisling said: “So Brexit is all over the news today, but #CBLive they remind us to wash the silverware, not hug each other and have the windows open in December. God help us all.”
Famous gardener Diarmuid Gavin was on the show last night and admitted he was looking forward to a quiet Christmas.
He said: “Yes, I think we are almost there and it has not been a bad confinement for me, neither of us was.
“As a gardener, I have been allowed to leave the house.
“I’m thinking of people who are vulnerable in society, the rest of the use should go ahead.
“Alcohol, mixing that with socializing, it won’t be a normal Christmas and that doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care if it’s smaller and quieter.”
