Is Rudy Giuliani Covid-19 positive? Donald Trump says 'get better soon', Internet says 'lawyer will sue Covid'

The former mayor of New York has been traveling the country to swing states, leading Trump’s long-shot legal battle to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election

Things are not going down well for President Donald Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who has tested positive for Covid-19. The POTUS tweeted wishing better health for the lawyer on Sunday, December 6. He wrote, “Rudy Giuliani, by far the greatest mayor in the history of NYC, and who has been working tirelessly exposing the most corrupt election (by far!) in the history of the USA, has tested positive for the China Virus. Get better soon Rudy, we will carry on!!!”

The 76-year-old lawyer was admitted to Georgetown University Hospital on Sunday, CNN reported. As per the publication, there are no additional details that could be fetched regarding when Giuliani received a positive test for Covid-19.

Before the news of him contracting the virus came to light, the former mayor of New York has been traveling the country to swing states, leading Trump’s long-shot legal battle to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election that later declared Democrat Joe Biden as president-elect. Previously, Giuliani has many times disparaged public health guidelines, appeared maskless in state capitols, hotel ballrooms and at indoor news conferences, CNN reported.

At some of the public events, he was spotted shaking hands, hugging and taking pictures with people while not wearing a mask.
In one of the most recent events at the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta, where Giuliani was there to attend a Senate hearing on December 1, the attorney removed his mask and even took pictures with supporters. He had earlier traveled to Michigan on November 30 for a state House committee hearing where he was spotted maskless as he pushed claims that the election was stolen from Republican candidate Trump.

Now no sooner that the news of him getting the virus was announced people took to Twitter to pour in reactions. A user suggested to Rudy, “We wear them because any bit helps.” A user quipped, “I think Rudy will probably sue Covid.” Another lamented, “Rudy is in the hospital. Look folks, it's evident and clear the White House and DJT are super spreaders. They are responsible for deaths (Cain) and sickness. They should be sued for hospital costs.”

A user asked, “What about the supporters he was talking to, face to face without masks, outside of the Georgia hearing? If they are now infected and become so sick that they need hospitalization, they will not have access to the same level of care that @RudyGiuliani will receive.” “So Rudy is officially a super spreader?” a tweet read. A user prayed for his quick recovery, “God bless you and watch over you Rudy! Praying for a quick recovery.”
