What does the come back 'It's right up there with duck and cover' mean?

If someone said to you, "It's right up there with duck and cover", I think that they're trying to tell you that something is misinformation, not very smart, or dangerous advice. The term 'duck and cover' comes from the 1950s. It was a Cold War government campaign for the population to avoid getting injured if attacked by an atomic bomb dropped by the Soviets. We had 'duck and cover' drills just like fire drills. This preventive measure consisted of the class lining up on either side of the hallway outside the classroom, bunching our bodies on the floor, knees to chin, while covering out heads with our arms and hands. If there wasn't an adequate hallway, we got under our desks. This campaign eventually came into disrepute because, if an atomic bomb was dropped, this technique would do nothing to protect us from the radiation. It turned into a joke. See the link below for some samples of this campaign.
