According to the current government advice, it is considered especially important for those over 70 to avoid social contact, as they are more vulnerable to the coronavirus.
The This Morning viewer explained, “I asked for a package for my mother. My partner goes to work and said he would leave it for her. She returned yesterday and I understand that Mom invited her in.
“He came in and sat in the living room with her for half an hour. I am so angry and upset that it endangered my mother’s life. I could be exaggerating.”
But Holly, 39, insisted: “I don’t think you’re exaggerating, actually” before saying it was “stupid.”
She added: “I really, really shouldn’t have done that. The only thing you can get out of this is that his intention was to do something good.”
“But you’re absolutely right, it was kind of stupid and the situation we are in right now shouldn’t have been.”
In addressing how the caller should deal with her fury, Holly advised, “I know, what you have to say is, ‘Look, the reason I feel so angry is because I’m scared. I’m scared for her, she She is 74 years old, she is alone.
“‘All I want to do is hug her, but I’m afraid she will notice this and, in her age category, it’s a dangerous situation for her, so I’m angry at you because it comes from fear.” “
Phillip Schofield added: “You just have to hope for the best in this case. Cross your fingers, cross your fingers, you’re going to be fine.”
“Remember the briefing yesterday? Government advisers say that even at 74, even if she did receive it, there is no guarantee that it could cause major problems.
“There are a lot of older people who go through this perfectly well. Obviously we hope that is never the situation.”
Concluding with some advice on how to deal with the partner, he said, “Shout it out and then you will have to move on.”
